    With more people biting the bullet and purchasing a dream home they can’t really afford, it’s no wonder that many Canadians have mortgages that are through the roof.

Financial expert Suzanne Schultz assigns homeowners to a strict finance boot camp while contractor Frank Di Leo is tasked with finding the most cost-effective way to complete a home reno project that will add value to their home.
