MORTGAGE FAQS
Tuesday, April 14th at 1:00pm EST
The St Catharines Enterprise Centre is hosting a series of Zoom webinars for small business owners looking for guidance on navigating through COVID-19. On April 14th at 1pm I'll be sharing some insight into today's mortgage lending options with advice on how to make the tough choices many Canadians are facing. We'll cover FAQs such as:
1. What's going on with the economy and interest rates?
2. Should I defer my mortgage payments?
3. Does refinancing make sense?
4. Upcoming mortgage renewals - what to choose?
We'll also touch on what you need to know if you want to buy in the near future. Please share with friends who may be interested - you don't need to be a small business owner to join the webinar, everyone is welcome!
