it's like barrhaven..

my finance person my family uses resides in ottawa (obviously) and he was able to offer us the best deal for a mortgage, so of course we went with him. since they need to have true sign copies of the mortgage agreement, they had arranged for me to meet with someone at a local branch here in toronto to sign. so i signed last week and of course while you sign you make conversation.

bank lady: so you're buying a house!
me: yeah, my brother and i are purchasing this together.
bank lady: oh, you're buying it for your parents?

hahahahahahahaha, i don't know how old i look.. but obviously she hadn't taken a look at my birthdate. unless i was some crazy business mogul, there would be NO way i could afford to buy a place for my parents..

me: not exactly. it's more for our own investment.

so we're signing, and she's going through each page and we get to the monthly payments.

bank lady: so this is what you're monthly payments are going to be, which you can easily offset with rent.
me: we're not renting.
bank lady: *shock* you're NOT renting..?
me: *giggles* no we're not renting.

at this point she has this look of disbelief.. and looks like she's trying to add two and two together.

bank lady: well i don't need to know the details of your personal life..

and we go back to the mortgage agreement. makes me wonder though.. i'm sure she thinks we're going to be running a grow-op or something out this house! hehe, it never occured to me that she didn't get i was going to actually LIVE in the house. i suppose i should have clarified that..
