Key Benefits of Working with Garth Financial

• First-Time Buyers: Access your RRSP for a tax-free down payment and take advantage of our expert guidance to make your first home purchase stress-free.

• Rental Properties: Qualify with as little as 20% down, or convert your primary residence into a rental and leverage rental offsets to finance your next home.
