About the tenant-buyers:
Christopher and Niketha are a financially responsible couple who have worked hard to secure their future. With $30,000 already saved for a down payment and a solid combined income, they are ready to transition from renting to owning and start building equity in a home of their own. The couple found a freehold townhouse in Barrie, Ontario for $540,000.
Despite their good income and savings, they cannot qualify for a mortgage today because of Niketha’s consumer proposal. Niketha took on debt to provide the best care for her ill grandmother, staying by her side during difficult times. Now, through a consumer proposal, she’s actively clearing that debt and is focused on financial recovery.
Family is central to their lives. Christopher, who went through a divorce, has two children from his previous marriage who visit every two weeks. This townhouse offers the stability and space they need to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for his children. Now, in his second marriage, Christopher and Niketha are excited to welcome their first child together, expected around Christmas, making fall the perfect time for them to set down roots and start their 48-month journey to mortgage-readiness.

Income
Together, Christopher and Niketha have a combined annual income of $164,408, providing a solid financial footing. Christopher earns $70,000 as a Service Manager at PFAFF automotive dealerships, a role he’s held since 2023. Niketha, a Patient Flow Coordinator at Michael Garron Hospital (MGH), earns $94,408 annually, and while she’ll soon be on maternity leave, she will still receive 80% of her salary. Even with the slight dip in income during her leave, they remain well within budget and can comfortably afford a home priced up to $600,000. However, they are being conservative and chose a townhouse priced at $540,000, a decision that demonstrates smart money management.

Credit
Christopher’s credit score is a decent at 619, making him well-positioned to improve it further. Niketha’s consumer proposal is the main obstacle to a traditional mortgage today, but she is actively working with a Clover Properties-approved Credit Counsellor to expedite her debt repayment and repair her credit. With our guidance and their dedication, Christopher and Niketha will be ready for a mortgage in 2028, ensuring a smooth transition to ownership.
