FAQ

Common Questions

How much do I need for a down payment as a first-time buyer in Ontario?
For homes under $500,000 you need a minimum 5% down payment. For homes between $500,000 and $999,999 you need 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the remainder. Homes over $1 million require 20% down. Lez Gomez helps Ontario first-time buyers in Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, and across the province maximize government programs like the FHSA and HBP to build their down payment faster.
What is the First Home Savings Account (FHSA)?
The FHSA allows first-time buyers to save up to $8,000 per year (lifetime max $40,000) tax-free for your first home. Contributions are tax-deductible and withdrawals for a qualifying home purchase are tax-free. Lez Gomez helps clients across Ontario combine the FHSA with the Home Buyers' Plan for maximum savings.
Can Lez Gomez help me buy a home in any Ontario city?
Absolutely. Lez Gomez is a licensed Ontario mortgage agent serving every city and town in the province - from Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and the GTA to Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Kingston, Barrie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, and everywhere in between. We work with 50+ lenders to find the best solution regardless of your location.
How long does the first-time buyer mortgage process take?
With Lez Gomez, pre-approval typically takes 24-48 hours. The full process from application to closing usually takes 30-90 days depending on your situation and the Ontario market. We expedite every step to get you into your home as fast as possible.
What credit score do I need as a first-time buyer?
While 680+ is ideal for the best rates, Lez Gomez works with lenders who approve first-time buyers with credit scores as low as 500. We have solutions for every credit situation across Ontario, including programs specifically designed for newcomers and those with limited credit history.
Do I need to pay for CMHC insurance?
If your down payment is less than 20%, mortgage default insurance (CMHC, Sagen, or Canada Guaranty) is required. The premium ranges from 2.80% to 4.00% of the mortgage amount and can be added to your mortgage. Lez Gomez helps Ontario first-time buyers understand all costs upfront so there are no surprises.
