We had no money to put down whatsoever, which led me to believe we couldn't buy a home. We had to take out an additional loan for the down payment because we had no savings. I was actually surprised we got approved because my husband had just gotten his permanent residency, and I was effectively broke following addiction related career loss.
Ah that extra loan hurts. Good thing you have your Super Special Boomer Advantage wealth socked away for vacations and retirement!
Yep, all those gold bars! But iirc the loan is part of a program for low income people and we haven't actually had to make a payment on it yet, just the mortgage itself.
It was hell applying though. I had to send receipts for every time I got reimbursed for travel from work and write detailed explanations. Don't ask me how it all worked because tbh I'm still confused lol
