What is a Condo?
Condos, short for condominiums, are a type of housing where each tenant owns their own flat. In this type of housing, all members jointly own and manage the building’s shared amenities. Condos can come in various sizes, ranging from studios to multi-bedroom apartments, and can be located in high-density urban areas or suburban or rural settings. As an owner of a condo unit, you have some rights and responsibilities. These include maintaining your unit, paying association fees, and participating in decisions regarding the shared areas of the building.
Finance for Condos in Toronto, GTA cities, and across Ontario
Condo mortgages work similarly to traditional home loans, with some differences in how lenders evaluate the property and associated fees. You can obtain finance for condos after providing a down payment and applying for a mortgage. Your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and other financial factors will play a role in determining the type of loan and interest rate you are eligible for.
When evaluating a condo association, lenders will look at factors such as the percentage of owner-occupied units, the number of units delinquent on dues, any lawsuits involving the condominium corporation, and the financial stability of the corporation.
It’s important to note that condo loans may also come with additional fees, such as condo association fees and assessments. Before you purchase a condo, you should take these costs into account because they can affect your total affordability.

Our team provides a detailed breakdown of all the costs involved, including the down payment, closing costs, and ongoing monthly expenses.

Orion Financial - Your Trusted Partner for Condo Mortgage in Toronto
We understand that buying a condominium can be a significant financial decision, and choosing the right mortgage product is crucial. Because of this, we provide a range of mortgage choices to meet your specific requirements and preferences.
Here are some of the different types of property loans available at Orion Financial:
1- Fixed-rate Mortgages
Fixed-rate condo mortgages are a popular choice among homebuyers because they offer stability and predictability in monthly mortgage payments. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your interest rate is locked throughout the duration of the loan, ensuring stability and predictability in your monthly payments.
2- Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)
ARMs offer lower initial interest rates, but the rate can adjust over time based on market conditions and the lender’s prime rate. They are suitable for short-term residence or anticipated income growth.
3- Variable Rate Mortgages (VRMs)
Variable-rate mortgages are home loans in which the interest rate is not fixed but fluctuates based on changes in the lender’s prime rate. They generally have lower initial interest rates compared to fixed-rate mortgages. VRMs feature a static payment structure that remains unchanged throughout the mortgage term, unless a trigger rate is met.

I reached out to Maksim after being referred by a friend of mine. Maksim was great to work with! Got us a great rate and was there to answer questions along the way (house finances are stressful enough to deal with). Made the process quite a bit easier for us. We had a great experience the first time around, so we've now actually used him for 2 mortgages. I don't see a need to seek anyone else!
