Do you watch home improvement shows on Netflix? If so, you’ve likely seen several episodes or even documentaries on families opting to get back to nature. Off-the-grid cabins and hobby farms are becoming increasingly popular. With the lack of housing in Ottawa, other people are seeking new builds. Determining your mortgageability in these cases is not as straightforward as buying a standard home. In this Life’s Inside Track episode, Ken and Yetta unpack what most people don’t know about accessing mortgage loans.

Aired: May 5th, 2023 on CHRI Radio 99.1FM in Ottawa, Canada.
