It is a good idea to start building your credit rating by using your credit card and paying it off completely each month. You will need a substantial downpayment and the amount of money approved is based on a percentage of your earning ability. A bank manager will be happy to answer all your questions.

If someone pays 35% or more down payment for house/ apartment then income proof is not required by the bank and new immigrants can also get mortgage from Bank.
