Whether you or someone you know is planning to buy a new home, or if owning your own home is a dream of yours down the road, the first home savings account or an FHSA, allows you to save up to $40,000 tax-free towards the purchase of your first home. The Federal government recently announced this new tax-free account for first-time homebuyers. To tell us all about this new initiative is David Daladouire, Director of Operations in Client Services. David discusses with host Emily Anonuevo the details of an FHSA and how it can help investors save for their first home. He also breaks down the nitty-gritty details of an account, such as the tax benefits of signing up and how long you can keep your account… which is longer than you might think!
