How Much Money Do You Need To Invest In A Pre-Construction Condo

Purchasing a pre-construction condo is easier than you may think. Depending on the project’s deposit structure you can expect to put down between 5%-20%. For example, if you are purchasing a unit that is $250,000 your 20% deposit would amount to $50,000. On a $300,000 unit, your deposit would amount to $60,000.
