    A reasonable financial advise should be don’t over spend money you don’t have. Mortgages are enough debts to handle. Keep getting refinance, or line of credit, or credit card debts is a downward spiral to hell.

    I've only let my mortgage go to full term only once. Breaking and blending is one way to go.. Scotia had me on a 50/50 ratio and it was interesting to see how the variable would change when the BOC would increase rates.. overall the variable paid more principle off.. this was in the early to mid 2000s

  • @rustyscrapper
    @rustyscrapper 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    This is not how it was explained to me at the bank.
    I was told the penalty to break the mortgage is equal to the spread un your rate and the current rate, and you save nothing to break it early. They bake it into the new mortgage and you get a lower rate with a big penalty added on and basically the same payment.
    HOWEVER!!! If you SELL your house the penalty is only 3 months interest. So to get out of the high mortgage without a penalty you have to sell the house and end the mortgage. Buy another house with a new mortgage and lower rate. Then you get a lower payment.
    This incentive to trade up your house will set the market on fire, the incentive will be better house lower price and everyone will be flipping into a different house to get out of their ass mortgages.

    There is not golden rule, I was variable for 5 years at 2.11, then went variable again for 2.29 for another 5 years at the renewal I didn’t want to go again for variable as the gap with the fixed was not more than.40 then I went for fixed 5 years more at 2.79 then the interest stated to skyrocket and I was safe…. Don’t know how the interest will be at the renewal but for sure won’t be to high and if they do the damage won’t hurt as the remanente to pay is not a lot. Well this just to illustrate there are risks everywhere which we have to learn to deal with

    More information on the laddering strategy would be helpful. You had me up until wrapping the $100k into a new mortgage segment. Some elaboration on this part of the process would be helpful. If the 100k is part of a LOC that is unsecured, why would a lender incorporate it into a mortgage segment?

    If you're 60% through paying your house, is it better to get a large line of credit to pay the rest of the outstanding amount or continue with a mortgage product?

    • @TomStorey
      @TomStorey  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Answer from Jesse: Depends on your rate, also whether you make continuous lump sum payments, LOCs are open and payable anytime, mortgages are a little more restrictive

    My renewal is coming in two months, can I take variable at renewal date and convert it into fixed in next 8-10 months? Can I move from variable to fixed in less than one year?

    • @TomStorey
      @TomStorey  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yes, you can convert out of a variable closed at any time to a fixed rate without paying a penalty the difference is some lenders will offer different terms versus others. Please confirm specifics with your broker/lender.

  • @argeldelacruz9545
    @argeldelacruz9545 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Do you need to re qualify if you switch lenders for a better deal?

    • @TomStorey
      @TomStorey  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      On November 21, 2023, the federal government announced a new Canadian Mortgage Charter. It said that homeowners with insured mortgages (less then 20% down) aren’t stress tested when they renew their mortgage with a different lender. So you’re not stress tested, but you do still have to qualify (without the stress test)
      The best way to think of the charter is as a list of "rules and expectations" banks are expected to follow.
      However, with an uninsured mortgage, you would have to requalify and be stress tested when changing lenders. Hope this helps.

      A large segment of our society is now paying the price for an era of too low interest rates not to mention giving an overall lesser tax rate on capital gains than personal income over the years, which has conditioned too many to view their homes primarily as an investment vehicle/financial asset. The days of welfare for mortgagers - mortgagers who benefited greatly financially from insane low interest rates; basically free money, is no longer the norm.

      @@lucash1980 let me preface by saying that no one has the crystal ball and can predict anything for certain but to answer your question, various things: Being in tech service exclusively financial clients, I have been focused inside and outside of macroµ economic news. Also economy centric articles and stats clearly show the phase of the economy, how the geopolitical (wars, covid, gas prices etc), inflation, and market conditions drove the rates up and the impact on consumer spending, the reason why it’s being cut now. Canada being a high tax country, and neighbouring U.S., cannot afford to have extremely misaligned rates to the North American and European markets. So they’re going to try to do another couple of cuts to get to mid/high 3s. And then it would depend on how all the factors I mentioned above are doing. Sorry hard to answer such a loaded question on a TH-cam comment, but hope I made some sense.

    I will re lock my mortgages if i think interest rates have bottomed and might go back up. Then its worth paying a penalty to lock low.
    If i think rates are still dropping i will wait and eat the higher payment and run out the clock until renewal 3 months early with no penalty and a super low rate.
    Unless the CPI starts going back up again. Then lock it.

    Just about to close on our first house this October, and my broker told me I could break my 5 year fixed 4.29% rate when the interest rate decreases next year. Their penalty for breaking the fixed rate is 3months interest or IRD whichever is higher (not calculated using IPD). Do you think this is a good deal?
