Line up the nations best financial experts and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who says a 5% down payment on their mortgage is a good idea.

RIP Jim Flaherty
In a housing market where prices are going up and up, is it better to continue to rent for another year or two to be able to save up a bigger down payment?

I agree you are in better shape if you can put in a bigger down payment, but given the "renting is throwing your money away" line we hear so often; how can renting be better just to save a few points off the CMHC rate?
