Investor Glossary

Capitalization Rate

A pre-approval is a qualification from a mortgage professional or financial advisor determining the amount that you are able to purchase a property for. Often your approval will be provided for a period of 30-120 days.

Re-Finance

An appraisal is an estimated value of a property. Often appraisals are completed on a property by certified appraisers for the purpose of qualifying a mortgage on a property, refinancing or to determine taxes owed.

Landlord Tenant Board

A deposit is a portion of your down payment that is paid within 24 hours of the offer being accepted. This is held in a trust account at a brokerage or lawyer’s office until the closing date.

LEASE Agreement

When offering on a property you can request a financing condition in your offer. This will ensure that you’re able to obtain a mortgage and that the property meets the lender’s requirements prior to purchasing the property.
