The math is lying to you. Here is the truth about buying a home in Canada.
You saved up. You work hard. You did everything right. But the bank says you can only afford $261,000. In most cities, that gets you almost nothing.
Here is what most people do not know. Two buyers working together can sometimes double their buying power. That means a real home in a real neighbourhood could actually be within reach.
Co-buying is not just for couples. Friends, siblings, and trusted partners are doing this right now to get off the sidelines and into the market.
But before you do anything, you need a plan. Money talk. House rules. Exit plan. All of it.
I made a free Co-Buying Compatibility Checklist that walks you through every question you need to ask before you buy with someone else.
