First Time Homebuyer Incentives

In Ontario, there are a number of government-backed incentives offered to first time homebuyers. These incentives provide you with down payment support and a reduction in some of the fees you’d normally pay.

Let us help you to understand which of these incentives might be available to you, and how you can access them.

Home Buyers Amount - A $5,000 tax deduction for the purchase of a qualifying home. You claim this on your income taxes, and it would provide a rebate of approximately $750.

Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) - Allows you to use your existing RRSP as a down payment that you pay back to yourself over as long as 15 years. You withdraw without penalty, and pay back by contributing back to your RRSP in future years.

GST/HST New Housing Rebate - Allows you to recover some of the GST/HST cost when you purchase a new or substantially renovated home that qualifies, to a maximum of $24,000.

First Home Savings Account (FHSA) - Designed for first-time homebuyers, this account allows you to contribute up to $40,000 tax-free towards your initial home purchase.

Let us help you to refinance or renew your mortgage so that you can keep getting things done.

Top 5 Tips for Renewing Your Mortgage

  1. Start Your Research Early - It is best to mark a date in your calendar that is 4-6 months ahead of your renewal date. Your current lender should send you a renewal notice, but don’t wait for that. If you have a little more time to make your decision it will save you big headaches and potentially thousands of dollars.

  2. Don’t Settle for the Posted Rate - Often your renewal notice will arrive with a standard rate offer that automatically kicks in if you do nothing. Remember that you can save thousands and never have to enter a bank branch by working with a trusted mortgage broker.

  3. Go Shopping - Take some time to educate yourself on your options. This is the time to consider switching lenders if it will benefit you. There is no prepayment fee when you switch lenders at renewal time.

  4. Don’t be Romanced by a Low Rate - The interest rate is only part of the total package. Make sure you ask questions about the other fees and penalties. Ask about the options such as prepayment priviledge. Your broker can help you focus on the things that matter to you.

  5. Work with a Licensed Mortgage Agent - This is the only way to get comparisons from dozens of lenders, including the big banks. You can rest assured with professional advice that comes to you at no cost.

Reasons to Refinance Your Mortgage

A refinance is a change in your mortgage where you are increasing the amount you owe and taking out cash. This works for people who have seen their house value increase over time, and now they have enough equity in their home to borrow against it.

A refinance is borrowed money, so be sure your plans are well thought out so that you do not end up in more debt over the long run. Some example reasons when it could make sense to refinance include:

  1. Pay off higher interest debts like credit cards, vehicle loan, or line of credit

  2. Plan for a large expense such as university tuition or a home renovation

  3. Purchase a cottage for your family to enjoy

  4. Invest in a rental property or a house for your kids while they attend school

This solution is not for everyone, and there are reasons you should avoid this if it doesn’t fit with your needs or comfort level.

It’s time to build some lasting wealth.

Let us help you to navigate the financing process so that you can make your investment plans a reality.

We help with the financing, you bring the elbow grease.

Maybe your child is heading away to college or university soon. Maybe you have a love for real estate, or you are in the skilled trades or building industry. Maybe you live in a university town and see thousands of students renting homes across town. There are many reasons why people look into real estate investing. Whatever your reason, you may find that many of Canada’s biggest banks are not very interested in rentals, especially student rentals.

Financial Benefits of Owning an Investment Property:

  1. Appreciation - Your assest (the house) increases in value over time. In Ontario the average annual appreciation is between 4-5% since the 1980s. While the actual apprecation will be different depending on market conditions, your location, and your property, you can count on the value of real estate to appreciate over time.

  2. Income Pays The Mortgage - If done correctly, your rental income will cover all your expenses including your mortgage payments. This means that as your mortgage principal is paid off, the value of your equity increases.

  3. Cash Flow - You have done all your homework to pick a desireable property in a good location and you have found a price that meets your needs. Once rented, the property can produce a positive cash flow (income) for you each month. This positive cash flow is money in your pocket every month, and can be set aside for expenses or invested as you see fit.

Beware, owning an investment property isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

As with any major financial or investment decision, you should take time to carefully consider this, and seek advice from professionals when it comes to your mortgage, the property, and the tax implications. Aside from that, you should know:

  • It can be a challenge to get financing because the requirements for down payment are higher. You generally need at least 20% down to purchase an investment property

  • All lenders have guidelines that specify the kinds of properties they will lend on. When it comes to investment properties (including rentals and flips) you need to be careful that you are working with a good lender. Nothing is worse than a last minute financing problem that costs you time or money.

  • You will have to provide proof of income to support your investment, and lenders have different rules about how they measure the income that can make it seem complicated

Aside from the financial challenges, there can be others as well. As a licensed mortgage agent and an investment property owner since 2016, I am uniquely equipped to help guide you through the process!

Spend more time doing what you love.

Tips for Mortgage Rate Shoppers who want to save money

  1. Mortgage Term - You may find that a shorter or longer term has an effect on your rate. If you need to make a trade-off of time for a small rate savings, it might be worth it to you.

  2. Variable vs Fixed - History has shown that variable rates will save you money compared to a fixed rate. This makes sense with the bank assuming more risk. Sometimes the fixed rate is actually lower than variable, but this is rare.

  3. Penalties - Mortgage prepayment penalty is by far the one you should watch out for. Penalties are usually much higher for fixed mortgages than variable rate mortgages. You need to consider this when choosing, since more than half of people with 5-year fixed mortgages will end their mortgage early (by selling or switching). A few dollars of savings on rate can be wiped out by a large penalty. Lenders also have their own policies that differ, so make sure you get advice on how to minimize penalty unless you are 100% sure that you won’t need to break early.

  4. Promotions - Many lenders offer promotions from time to time that give you some extra benefits such as cash back, waived appraisal or legal fees, or even paying the interest for you for a period. Ask about which promotions are available, and make sure you factor this into your calculation.

  5. Government Incentives - Mostly for First-Time Homebuyers, government incentives can help save you money, pay less taxes, or get more house for your money. You should always be aware of the current incentives when you are looking for a mortgage, and find out if you are eligible.

  6. Down Payment - Your down payment has an impact on the rate you can receive. Believe it or not, but those with the minimum down payment often get the best rate because their mortgage is insured. This doesn’t mean you should put less money down, because those customers must pay for the mortgage default insurance. In general, a higher down payment is good for you because you will minimize interest costs.

The key message here is that if you look only at the rate, you will miss out on some large factors that make up the total cost of your mortgage. Only an experienced mortgage broker can compare across dozens of lenders and hundreds of options to see what works best for you.

The best advice is to start researching early, and find a mortgage broker you can trust to help you through the process. There is no cost to you for our services and you can rest easy knowing that you have a mortgage expert doing most of the heavy research for you.
