The unique circumstances faced by this generation can lead to challenges when it comes to seeking financing and qualifying with traditional lenders. As millennials continue to make up the largest share of home buyers in Canada, you have an opportunity to help these individuals find financing and access cash in various situations, depending on their needs.<\/p>\n Many millennials can benefit from tapping into their home equity to fund projects, instead of relying on unsecured credit which can negatively affect their credit rating.
