🤯 What if your down payment could come from a loan… AND you could potentially get a tax refund?
Sounds too good to be true? It’s actually a strategy some first-time homebuyers may be able to use with an RRSP loan + Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP). 🏡💰
Here’s the basic play 👇
1️⃣ Borrow funds to contribute to your RRSP
2️⃣ Let the contribution sit for the required period
3️⃣ Withdraw eligible funds through the HBP
4️⃣ Use them toward your down payment
5️⃣ Potentially benefit from the RRSP tax deduction 💸
The key isn’t just saving money — it’s strategizing how you save it.
⚠️ There are eligibility rules and borrowing costs to consider, so this strategy isn’t right for everyone.
Would you use this strategy to buy your first home?
