Don't be too hasty In decision-making by Murray Moore Don't rush into buying. Buy what you can afford. Be prepared to sacrifice. These and other tips came from local A.E. LePage Real Estate branch office manager Don Tannahill at a seminar for first time house buyers last Monday evening. Art Crawford, manager of the Midland Sterling Trust branch Office, advised that although it is usually cheaper to stick with your lender when your mortgage comes due, that it can be worth it financially to switch to another lender, if a lower rate, that means the balance can be paid more quickly, can be obtained, at a rate low enough to justify the expense Of a switch. Lawyer Joe Blake described the Registered Home Ownership Savings Plan as "the greatest tax benefit there is."" The benefit is great enough that >it "1s worth borrowing money to put into a RHOSP, he said. Blake also advised a buyer be wise attitude. Always take a last look at the house before you sign.

Generally only half of a wife's income is calculated into the total income in the calculation of a couple's income, because a wife is more apt than a husband to be taken out of the workforce at any time. Tannahill also suggested that one-of- Correct date The closing date for walleye and pike in Georgian Bay was March 15 -- not May 15, as reported in Brian Berriault's Outdoors column in last Wed- nesday's Sports Report.

Choosing and sticking to one real estate agent will get a prospective Orillia Cinema 3 buyer farther ahead than relying on the real estate ads in newspapers, because the better houses tend to be sold before they appear for sale in the newspapers, Tannahill said.
