I have a question on Completion mortage. If I choose a builder to build the house and choose Completion mortgage option. I will pay 5% at beginning when starting the construction and will only require a mortgage upon closing. My question is whether CMHC will consider that I only pay 5% downpayment and charge the corresponding insurance fee, or CMHC will consider the ammount of downpayment when I require the mortgage upon closing? Thanks. 6 d* G0 S: B7 \2 U v. @/ P3 N0 |) [% L3 J1 N& P2 d- ~
Another question: if I purchase the lot and apply for a mortagage for this lot purchase, does CMHC charge the insurance fee? Thanks.

: l7 P( r3 G$ _" UI have another question. If I choose Completion mortgage option, how much downpayment I need to pay at beginning when starting construction? I saw someone mentioned she only paid 5%. However, some builders told me that they need 20%. I want to check if that is negotiable? Thanks.
Yes, that is a negotiable item. Do you have a realtor? Ask your realtor to talk with the builder. Normally, 5% is good enough. But some builders need 10%. For those builder asking you 20%, their financial situation might not be that good.
