I would still try it if I were you, simply say you're DND and see what they say, maybe you'll luck out.

Of course they can make a big difference in the rate.  I know all about the options available to me for buy down, and I also know that the interest rate buy down is NOT ONLY AVAILABLE via the group mortgage (ie CIBC or Firstline).  I stress this because I’ve been outright lied to, told that a...

Annie is correct, ING has a DND/RCMP clause, so a max of 3 months interest should be the penalty, but in toughenough's case it appears he is not doing an IRP move so it may not apply, but there's no harm in asking them.  Toughenough you should ask whomever your contact is to verify this.  I can...

It will be interesting to see what the group mortgage plan offers me.  I can get 3 yr fixed at 3.35% and that is not including the buy down.  I have not checked with the group mortgage yet, but I've always found CIBC and Firstline to not offer the most competive rate, so in the past I went...

Has anyone here used the portability clause with ING? Specifically blend and extend, the clause says they will give you their best rate. I am unclear if this simply means their posted rate or the actual rate others are being offered. I like that they don't use the IRD for breaking a mortgage...

George, (or anyone who knows) we're probably looking around the same area (Herman Street) as the wife doesn't drive and wants to be close to at least the library and some small stores (shoppers etc), and the kids want to walk to school.  I'm curious about your comments about the commute time to...

Jr2010 where do you get most of your information from?  Are you buying or moving into a PMQ?

Avor is there anything we can do to help?  How about some company?  If I'm anywhere close I'd love to come and shoot the shit with you for a while.

Thanks downhillslide, I emailed IRP but they don't seem to have a clue what I'm talking about.  Do you happen to know a contact there I can speak with?

Thanks cdnleaf & D9'r, great info.  Will talk to RE agent.  Does anyone know the process for offering an apt up for IR?  I can't find anything online but I have heard from others that you need to register somehow.... anyone here have more information for me?

I've checked kijiji which helps a bit but I would like more first hand knowledge.  Can anyone here give me an idea if there's high(er) demand for 1 bdrm suites or even room rentals in Pet?  Say we were to buy a house and rent out one bedroom or a 1 bdrm basement suite as a mortgage helper.  We...

Very true. It would not surprise me to find out he was set up in August though.

I have, not as much as my wife mind you, but I have checked it out.

It sure helps when you have special circumstances such as a special needs child or a spouse who doesn't/cant drive etc.  I can't imagine trying to find a place to live without feedback from other members who know the area.  My wife has expressed concern about feeling isolated when we move to...

Thanks everyone, there is some really helpful information here. I noticed some of the new houses (as in BRAND new) are selling with finished basements.  Anyone here who has worked construction knows anyone who finishes a basement right off the hop and not allowing the concrete to cure is a...

Can anyone here give me some insight into, in general, what type of house and what area of town and any other options that make a house more "sellable" in Pet.  I realize this varies per individual, but, as in any other area, there are streets that are more desireable and streets that one...

I also think it's bullshit, but what can you do but suck it up and fork over the money.  I was also told I had to wear a white collared dress shirt under my DEU's to the mess dinner... I had no white dress shirts so I wore my wifes which was not only too small (couldn't do it up around my manly...

We get five days leave for relocation? I'm assuming this is on top of the days for moving packing unpacking etc, is this correct?

Great post/s Container.

Thanks for the post.  I did not realize Tim was still over there.
