TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2017 /CNW/ - The dream of home ownership becomes closer to reality for many Ontarians thanks to the Family and Friends Mortgage from Meridian, Ontario's largest credit union.
"With the steady rise in the housing market, many Ontarians are looking for a viable financial solution to help reach the goal of owning a home," says Bill Whyte, Meridian's SVP and Chief Member Experience Officer. "That's why we created the Family and Friends Mortgage."
The Family and Friends Mortgage enables Members to join forces, pool their financial resources and afford a shared home. Up to four people can be placed on title and there are no additional set-up costs for Members. Meridian has also developed a Guide with recommendations to help Members prepare an agreement, create a budget, discuss the sharing of expenses and create contingency plans for emergencies.
In case there's a parting of ways, Meridian's mortgage advisors are also on hand to provide insight and advice.
