If you are thinking of investing in the booming condo market here in Kitchener-Waterloo, one building you need to check out is the Tanglewood Condo building slated for construction summer of 2011. With presales underway the lift potentail of this building has lots of advantages for both investors and residential buyers alike.
With prices starting at $119,900 for a bachelor this open concept floor plan gives that loft stlye flavour that so many buyers are looking for. If you enjoy travelling the bachelor would give you a place to call home while you are here.
For as little as $100 to reserve your unit, tanglewood can get you into home ownership for a very affordable price.
One unique concept is the builder boost option that can increase your down payment by up to 10%. This option is a equity only option meaning that it only has to be paid back when you go to sell your unit in the future. This way a first time condo buyer can reduce the CMHC fee’s and enjoy equity appreciation while building a nest egg for their future.
