I wanted a multi-family home because it's important to me that my parents age in place, close to me. The $10,000 lender credit from TD was a huge help. It really made a difference. Now I have my dream home for me and my family.

I had very difficult experiences renting, so I made it my goal to own. Leaving something for my son was very important to me. But everything was so expensive, and rates were high. The $10,000 was a huge help.
