Hamilton physician mortgage questions.
Is Hamilton more affordable than Toronto for physicians?01
Generally yes. Hamilton prices are more attainable than the GTA core, and buyers pay only the Ontario provincial land transfer tax with no municipal surcharge, so both purchase price and closing costs are lower than in Toronto.
Should a McMaster resident buy during training?02
For McMaster's longer programs in a same-city stay, buying during residency under a physician program often makes sense. Projected-income qualification lets a resident buy at attending-level capacity, and Hamilton prices keep the decision realistic.
