From Peru With Love

 

Welcome to the 3rd edition of Skott's Monthly Mortgage Memo. I hope this finds you happy, healthy, and ready for an incredible fall full of dozens of pumpkin spiced lattes!

Floyd and Moses sure were pretty excited when their Grandpa brought them back alpaca wool jackets from his trip to Peru! Perfect for playing in the leaves on a cool autumn morning!! This is actually one of my favourite pics of the mini-men because it is one of the rare instances where they are both sitting still and looking at the camera. Although they are twins, they definitely are not identical....



Buying A Home With A Rental Suite?

 

Secondary rental suites are recognized as a source of affordable housing offered at a cost that is often lower than those for apartments in purpose built rental buildings.

As of Sept 28th 2015, CMHC will now consider up to 100% of gross rental income from a 2-unit owner-occupied property as opposed to only 50% currently.

These Ain't Your Grandma's Cookies

 

The reality is, I am not much of a baker. I can count on one hand the number of times I have baked homemade cookies in the past decade. However, the last time I did make cookies, I made these ones... and they are awesome!

On a chilly autumn night, when your sweet tooth is looking for a fix, you will do no better than these Chilli & Cayenne Pepper Infused Chocholate Chip Cookies.

Pairing recommendation: a full bodied Cabernet or a cold glass of milk (but not both, that's disgusting)

 



Choose Your Charity

 

When it comes to getting a mortgage, I understand that you have options... tons of them. Did you know that when you choose to work with me as your broker, I will make a donation to the charity of your choice and YOU get the tax receipt?

So far this year, I have had the honour of donating to amazing charities like the Z99 Radiothon, the Humane Society, Regina Open Door Society, The Firefighters Burn Fund, The Canadian Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, and Kidsport.

Thank you for choosing me as your Mortgage Broker, and thank you for reading!
