Financing - Tips
| 1. Some bank branch account managers handle acreage financing, and some don't. Choose a bank such as RBC and make inquiries to the various branches. Rural branches may have acreage specialists. |
| 2. Consider a draw mortgage for your total planned set up. You can have the full amount of your budget approved, then draw down at different time periods as needed for land, house and utilities. |
| 3. Good Alberta Land is within the 50km radius of Edmonton and therefore 75% financing is truely possible with some banks. |
| 4. The process takes patience and perseverance but it is worth the effort. |
