The method and the percentage recognized vary by lender, by unit count and by whether you occupy a unit. It is one of the things to check before choosing where to apply.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What down payment is needed for a duplex or multiplex?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"It depends on the number of units, whether you will live in the building, the purchase price and the rules applying to that type of financing. Requirements differ noticeably between an owner-occupied duplex and a fully rented fourplex. We confirm what applies to your project.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Do I need to have found the building first?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"No, quite the opposite: preparing the financing before the showings tells you your budget, your down payment and the effect of the rents before you make an offer, rather than discovering it under pressure.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I use the Home Buyers' Plan for a plex?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The HBP can apply where you will occupy the building and you meet the program's conditions.
