Is your Mortgage Renewing Soon?... What else is out there?


These are interesting times we are living in, with a record inflation that has not been this high since August 1991.  Many clients out of fear of the unknown are simply signing their mortgage renewal agreements without looking at what else is out there.  

The Trudeau government provided many people during Covid 19, particularly those who were self employed, with monetary relief so they could stay afloat. It also resulted in them taking on more debt as they were forced to close shop, but still had to maintain payments on their leases, mortgages and other financial obligations tied to their businesses.

 

There is a huge growth in alternative lending in this sector. Having one payment to consolidate all your debts is the credo under how this lending operates. One can argue you are further ahead with a higher mortgage rate with one payment vs  your low rate mortgage at the bank that keeps you with balances on your unsecured debt. This is because your reported net income on your tax return does not debt service at the mortgage stress test. This rate is currently 5.25% as of April 14/2022.  So what good is low rate on your mortgage when you still have unsecured debt at 2 to 3 times higher. 

 

There is a better way. Want to know more...
