Dealing with your mortgage renewal

When your mortgage is up for renewal you do have options.  Believe it or not nearly 85% of Canadians sign their mortgage renewal letter without actually considering other options for a better rate or product.  When you receive a renewal letter from your lender, they (mainly banks) will not offer you the best discount rate.   They are hoping (and in most cases are correct) that the client will just sign the letter and send it back to the lender.  The lenders save allot of money by taken this approach.

Renewing your Mortgage. Don’t just sign the renewal notice without considering other options

Is it worth it to refinance

Clients often call me with this question, but of course each case varies significantly as there are many factors to consider.  When deciding whether or not to refinance there are two important questions you must ask yourself. Firstly, how soon would you like to realize the savings? Secondly, how much longer do you expect to reside in your current home?

Commercial Mortgage Financing

Financing on commercial mortgages is very different to financing on residential mortgages.  The process can take anywhere from 1 month up wards.    Along with an appraisal a  phase 1 environment inspection can be required depending on building type.  Always give yourself more time and do not rush the financing clause as it is there to protect the borrower.  With residential financing a 5 day financing clause is the norm.  With commercial financing 30 days or more is the norm depending on building type and processes involved.

Canadians Getting Their House Hold Debt In Order

Canadians appear to be getting their household debt in order. And that’s showing up on the bottom line at the big banks. After some 15 years of fuelling bank profits, consumer loans are on the decline. Q2 earnings reports from Canada’s major banks start today (Wednesday). While the slow return to growth in the U.S. and the debt turmoil in Europe are grabbing the headlines, Canadian household debt remains the biggest domestic concern. The cautioning and cajoling by the finance minister and the governor of the Bank of Canada have been couched in fears of a housing bubble. But more than one bank analyst says, simply the level of debt-to-income leaves some households vulnerable to shocks like job loss or interest rate hikes.

Mortgage Pre Approval a Must. Do not go house shopping without one

I was recently approached by a borrower who wanted to make an offer on a one million dollar home.  I asked him if he was mortgage pre approved.  He said no but felt he could handle the payments.  After a brief conversation I calculated he would need 3 times his currently salary to be approved to purchase the property.  The client was still hesitate at the thought of getting pre approved.  He believed to have his credit bureau checked would damage his credit.   Let us think about that one.  You need to have a credit check to be approved for any type of loan so how will this damage your credit.  (Random shopping for different types of credit will single red flags with Equifax and will impact your credit score but not for just one type of loan over a specific period).
