RESP

A registered education savings plan is a type of savings account that helps you save money for your child’s future. The subscriber for the account may be the parents or a guardian, and the child who gets benefits from this account is called the beneficiary. The Canadian Government adds money to your account through different schemes. Money in this account grows tax-free till your child uses it for education. You can open this account as soon as the birth of your child, and you can keep money in it for 36 years.

Individual or non-family RESP:

Anyone can open an Individual or non-family RESP for a child. Beneficiaries and subscribers do not have to be related by blood. The subscribers can decide how much money they want to contribute.

Family RESP:

Family RESP allows you to make an account for more than one child. But the condition is that all children should be blood-related to you, the subscriber. If a child does not use all the money, he can transfer it to his siblings.

Group RESP:

You can open an account for just one child who does not have to be related to you by blood. This type of RESP has strict rules. If you miss a payment, you may get penalties.

Prime Lenders: Prime lenders may typically prefer applicants with stronger scores, but they can still offer competitive rates to those with scores of at least 600. These lenders are usually well-known financial institutions, including major banks, that many people think of when applying for a mortgage.
Trust Companies and Bad Credit Lenders: Specialized in serving those with less-than-perfect scores, trust companies offer options for individuals facing such circumstances. These lenders typically work with clients who have scores around 700 or lower and can even assist individuals with scores as low as 550.
Private Lenders: These can be individual investors or private firms willing to provide loans to those with poor credit histories. Some private mortgage lenders may limit their services to just funding the down payment. Although the interest rates from these bad credit mortgage lenders are generally higher than those from prime lenders or trust companies, they can be a valuable option for anyone with a score below 600.
If you’re thinking about applying for a home loan, but have a less-than-stellar credit score, there are key points to consider. Lenders will closely examine various aspects of your financial profile, focusing primarily on:

Credit Score and Debt History: Your score and debt history provide lenders with an overview of your financial reliability. This score will impact whether you qualify for standard financing or need a bad credit home loan. In Canada, credit scores range from 300 to 900, with higher scores being more favorable. If your score is below 700 or if you’ve missed payments in the past, a bad credit mortgage might be your only option.

Income and Employment Stability: Lenders prioritize your ability to consistently repay the loan. Thus, they will review your income and employment history during the application process. If your credit is not ideal and you have a low income or a shaky job record, you may find yourself needing to pursue a bad credit mortgage.

Property Condition: When applying for home financing, lenders will assess the property itself. They will evaluate its condition, maintenance needs, location, and overall affordability for you. If you’re seeking a bad credit home loan, be aware that lenders may impose stricter criteria on the type of property they will finance.

Down Payment Requirements: In Canada, the minimum down payment is 5%, but this increases to 10% if the property value exceeds $500,000.

Tips for Getting a Investment Property

You should consider RESP contribution limits and withdrawal rules before opening an account. It guides you about the maximum deposit limit and withdrawal rules if the child does not use all the money.

RESP Contribution Limits

In RESP accounts, the total amount you can deposit is $50,000.  You can deposit it monthly, yearly, or in lumps, depending on the plan that suits you the most. But you cannot deposit money after the child turns 17. The government can grant a total $7,200  for a child. If you deposit money over many years, you can get $500 each year from the government in an RESP account of a child.

RESP Withdrawal Rules

You can withdraw money from the RESP account either by Post-Secondary Education Payments (PSE) or Education Assistance Payments (EAS). In PSE, the subscriber should give proof before withdrawal that the child is enrolled in secondary school. You can withdraw Government grants through EAS. Tax must be implemented on this kind of withdrawal. But the tax amount is usually low because it is in the name of the student, and students usually have low incomes.
