Saving a down payment while paying rent feels like sitting at a red light that never changes. 🟢
Three tools that can flip it to green faster than you'd think:
NSDPAP — interest-free loan for up to 5% of your purchase price, repaid over 10 years. Built for Nova Scotians who qualify for an insured mortgage but need a bridge on the down payment.
FHSA — save up to $8K/year (up to $40K lifetime), tax-deductible in, tax-free out for your first home. An RRSP and TFSA had a baby, and it's really good at buying houses.
RRSP Home Buyer’s Plan - withdraw up to $60k tax-free from your RRSP, and repay over 15 years starting year 2.
Stacked together, these can cut months — sometimes years — off your timeline and require you to save less money upfront.
