How to Begin

Start by approaching TTMF to be pre-qualified. Pre-Qualification allows us to review your affordability. Your current age, the amount you regularly earn per month and the number of debts you service will all impact your mortgage affordability. The resultant mortgage amount you can service is detailed to you in our Pre-Qualification Certificate.

You then need to locate a suitable property. After you have identified a property, begin your mortgage application by submitting all the required documents and fees necessary. Learn how to compile the legal documentation required to finance a home in our How-to Guide.
