One of the biggest mistakes you'll make is buying a home-if you don't do it right.

The mortgage process is one of the most widely accepted- yet least understood-aspects of the home-buying journey for Canadians.

• Discover what a bank is really looking for in a mortgage application.
• Know the difference between affording your mortgage and getting it approved.
• Understand how banks look at your income.
• Learn why refinancing and debt consolidation help the bank, not you...
