This is what Oxygen looks like

Coming soon to George & Shuter, a breath of fresh design. Breathe in a collision of art and space. Where a collection of Maisonettes & Flats surround a sweeping private courtyard. Where high design, imported Italian finishes and 2-storey "homes in the sky" are yours in a boutique, 14-storey sculpture. Discover a new concept in city living, steps from both historic and renewed pockets of Toronto. It’s time for fresh design. It’s time for Oxygen.

Here are the photos of what the 14-storey ‘sculpture’ aka building is going to look like (artist’s concept of course – nothing is set in stone yet, literally).

If you are interested, then to be on a priority list, all you have to do is send your name and email to jagdeepsingh@trebnet.com

Picture of my home during #EarthHour

This is where I was recently

Talk about prime beach front property! There is an abundance of it in Cuba. Sucks that only way to own one is to marry a Cuban. Luckily I have the next best thing available - a beach front property for sale in GTA. It's easy: just pick up the phone and call me :-)

Nothing to do with Real Estate

I am not sure how this is relevant to real estate in Toronto or elsewhere, other than the price of course. While looking through some cars, I realized that the leather used in Rolls Royce (which sells for price of real estate – probably the only relevance) come only from bulls that are raised where there are no mosquitoes or barbed wires. Understandable, right? Here is the best part: They don’t use hide from cows because cows can have, you guess it (or may be not), stretch marks.

The engine of each Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG ($130K) is assembled by a single technician who then autographs a plaque mounted on the engine. Cool stuff.

BEING UNREASONABLE

BEING UNREASONABLE GETS YOU MORE...it is unreasonable to run a marathon. It is unreasonable to be a great speaker. It is unreasonable to win a sales contest. It is unreasonable to save 10% of your income.  It is unreasonable to be mentally tough.
 
On the other hand...It is reasonable to gain weight. It is reasonable to avoid rejection. It is reasonable to "just wing it". It is reasonable to be average. It is reasonable to make excuses. 


Invest in real estate. Now is the time. You owe it to yourself to do it and not postpone it any longer. Leave the analysis to the professional REALTORS. 


Contact one today. No excuses.


Invest. Upgrade. Down size.

Think. Analyze. Grow.

What are the General Requirements to Qualify for Homeowner Mortgage Loan Insurance?

  •  The home is located in Canada.
  • You will typically have a down payment of at least 5% of the purchase price of the dwelling, depending on the dwelling type.
  • Single-family and two-unit dwellings (5% minimum down payment)
  • Three- or four-unit dwellings (10% minimum down payment)
  • Normally, the minimum down payment comes from your own resources. However, a gift of a down payment from an immediate relative is acceptable for dwellings of 1 to 4 units. For eligible borrowers, additional sources of down payment, such as lender incentives and borrowed funds, are also permitted. Check with your lender for qualifying criteria and availability.
  • Your total monthly housing costs, including Principal, Interest, property Taxes, Heating (P.I.T.H.), the annual site lease in the case of leasehold tenure and 50% of applicable condominium fees, shouldn’t represent more than 32% of your gross household income (Gross Debt Service (GDS) ratio). Use the GDS form to calculate how much you can afford in housing costs to be eligible.
  • Your total debt load shouldn’t be more than 40% of your gross household income. The Total Debt Service (TDS) ratio is your P.I.T.H. + the annual site lease in the case of leasehold tenure and 50% of condominium fees (if applicable) + payments on all other debt / gross annual household income. Add up your costs and determine your Total Debt Service ratio using the TDS form.
  • You also need to think about closing costs (for example, legal and land transfer fees) equivalent to 1.5% to 4% of the purchase price. Many first-time buyers are surprised by these costs. That is why, when qualifying for CMHC’s Mortgage Loan Insurance, our Home Purchase Cost Estimate worksheet form will help you calculate your total home buying costs.

    Closing costs include but are not limited to one-time items such as lawyer fees, GST and PST as applicable, land transfer tax if applicable, adjustments, etc., to allow you to complete the house purchase.

  • Other requirements may apply and are subject to change. For details, please contact your lender or mortgage broker.
