WORKING & DOING BUSINESS IN WINDSOR/ESSEX: The economic base of the area is in the Agriculture and the Automotive industries. Canada's first automotive plant was built by Henry Ford in Windsor in 1904 and since that time, vast development has taken place, with Windsor hosting GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler and many huge auto-parts fabricators. What does the future hold? Recently the CEO of GM stated that U/S. health-care labor costs amount to $1,500 per car for American manufacturing, whereas for Canadian production, (because of the National Health Plan), such costs are negligible. This, plus many other factors, make Canadian production a much more economic proposition. So steady growth in this sector is expected, as more and more plants move here. Economic activity is supported by Municipal, Provincial and Federal governments, and new businesses of any kind (no matter how small), are warmly welcomed. So if you are setting up shop in Windsor, you'll find lots of help available. Take a look at some of the sources below!

Buyers Remorse >First Time Loans
Most first-time buyers can qualify for a mortgage loan, but they may need help from parents to make the down payment or closing costs on their home. There are loan programs that minimize the down payment and closing costs for first-time buyers. These programs usually require that 3 to 5 percent of the purchase price come from the buyers' funds, not from a loan or gift. Most lenders ask for the last three months' bank records. The borrower will be asked to reveal the origin of any large deposits. If the money comes from the homebuyer's parents, the lender may not consider those funds when qualifying the buyers.
Parents who are planning to help their children finance a home should transfer any funds several months before the house-hunting process begins. If it is a loan rather than a gift, a formal re-payment agreement should be drawn up between parents and children to eliminate potential misunderstandings or future complications with either estate.
