Do I have the means to afford an apartment in Réseau Sélection?


Before answering this question, you must first define your expectations. In what area are you looking for an apartment? Réseau Sélection offers studios or apartments with one or two bedrooms. Obviously, the rental cost of each apartment is directly proportional to its size.
Also, if you currently own a property, several direct and indirect costs are related to it. For example, you invest significant amounts every year whether it be municipal or school taxes or costs for heating. You must also pay maintenance fees, think of the various repairs that your property requires over time as well as seasonal needs such as snow removal or lawn maintenance and landscaping. Not to mention the time you invest personally. Moreover, the repayment of your mortgage does not give you access to your capital. This loss is important for a property of $ 175 000 at an annual rate of 5%, this represents a total of $ 8 750. If you consider this amount in addition to the direct and indirect costs related to your home, you can certainly afford an apartment in Réseau Sélection. In short, by opting for Réseau Sélection, you can save on many of these direct and indirect costs related to your property in addition to the time and peace of mind to enjoy the services offered.

These are important details that you will provide peace of mind and make you feel better at home.
