About the tenant-buyers

This is a three-adult household has stable income, and a shared commitment to long-term success. As a blended family, Krystal and Matt have been renting in Pembroke for 6 years but decided to stop wasting money on rent and create long-term stability for their five children  (ages 2, 3, 4, 11, 18). Krystal’s mother, Denise, will be moving in to support with childcare and contribute financially to help the family get ahead.  They desire Pembroke because Krystal and Denise work in the area and it is an hour-drive for Matthew to his employment in Ottawa.

They are exactly the kind of family our Rent-to-Own program is designed to for —hardworking, family-oriented and motivated to build a more secure future for their kids.

Krystal and Matthew are aligned on their goals, financially disciplined, and have saved $20,000 toward their down payment and have found a home they love.

———————————-
Income

This household brings in a combined annual income of $141,288 from three steady and dependable sources:

  • Krystal earns $60,680/year as a full-time Personal Support Worker (PSW) at Miramichi Lodge Long Term Care in Pembroke. She’s been in this stable role since 2021.
  • Matthew earns $42,900/year as a Mechanic/Technician specializing in amusement park and inflatable equipment repair. He works year-round with Funhaven in Ottawa, and during the spring and summer seasons, he takes on additional contracts with Muskoka Inflatable Adventures and Larry Potter Events. With over 10 years in this niche sector, his role is essential to keeping operations running smoothly.
  • Denise earned $37,708 last year as a part-time PSW at Miramichi Lodge. She has been employed since January 2025 with Miramichi but has been working as a PSW for the last 10 years.

While their combined household income allows for more, Krystal and Matthew have intentionally limited their home search to properties under $375,000 to maintain affordability and stay aligned with their long-term financial goals.

———————————-
Credit

Denise and Krystal have great credit. Matthew isn’t far behind and has been responsibly improving his credit following a difficult divorce.

  • Krystal’s score: 684
  • Matthew’s score: 651
  • Denise’s score: 714

With support from Clover’s expert team, Krystal and Matthew will focus on paying down two car loans during the Rent-to-Own term to further strengthen their mortgage-readiness.
