building a home: Part 4: Building a Home In The Collingwood – Blue Mountain Area: Financing - 04/24/08 12:30 PM
In our continuing series on building your own home, today I'm pleased to present an article about financing your build written by my favourite local mortgage broker, Michelle Reichart  with Invis.  Thanks for your contribution Michelle!
About 5 years ago I helped my brother in law build his dream cottage on a beautiful lake up north; at that time both families really got along great.  We have been going to the cottage for years, we always laughed and had fun, how hard could it be to build  his dream house...get a mortgage...build the house...not that hard, right?  NOT!

building a home: Part 1: Building Your Own Home in the Collingwood – Blue Mountain Area - 03/23/08 10:18 AM
With spring fast approaching, we're getting more enquiries again from people who are looking for vacant land on which to build their new home now or at some point down the road.  After 19 years in this business, I've seen both winners and the losers in the building game.  There are those who built something that subsequently had a higher resale value within a few years and, there are those who have far more into their dream home than they'll get out for a very long time.  The difference between winning or losing at the building game is made up of … (3 comments)
