The government allows people up to 35 years old to use 20% of the down payment on the purchase of their primary residence in a loan that they won't have to repay until the mortgage is paid off, at a 0% interest rate. In return, the home will become officially protected (VPO) and will have a price cap forever.</p>]]></description>

For those thinking about getting a mortgage, this is no small detail. It is, in fact, one of those moments that demand perspective. Therefore, my recommendation, which is not infallible—because no one has a crystal ball—responds to a way of understanding personal finances with common sense and some experience.</p>]]></description>

According to the financial association Asufin, only 14% of mortgages granted are for a primary residence, and 56% are used as an investment.
