ABOUT MILESTONE GOLD

Helping Sudbury families become proud homeowners—no matter their credit history.

We believe that homeownership shouldn't be out of reach just because life took a turn or the banks said no. At Milestone Gold, we specialize in helping people who’ve been turned down by traditional lenders find a real, workable path to owning a home—often sooner than they ever thought possible.

Whether you’re self-employed, new to Canada, recovering from credit challenges, or stuck in the rental cycle, we’re here to help you move forward—through a flexible rent to own program in Ontario designed to make homeownership possible again.

Can you buy a home with bad credit in Sudbury?

Yes! Here’s how we help:

At Milestone Gold, we understand that life doesn’t always follow a traditional path—and neither does your journey to homeownership.

Whether you’re self-employed, rebuilding after a financial setback, or just starting out in Canada, we look at your full story—not just your credit score. That’s why we created this homeownership solution in Ontario—called the Assisted Purchase Program—to offer a real option to real people.

This program for properties in Sudbury lets you move into the home you want now while working toward mortgage approval.

We meet you where you are, walk you through the process, and support you all the way to traditional financing. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a long-term partnership built on trust, transparency, and a real belief in second chances.
