The two highest expenses that Canadians often have is the income tax and the interest that they pay.
This strategy helps Canadians reduce these two expenses by converting their mortgage interest into a tax deductible expense. This in turn provides additional tax refunds simply by making their regular mortgage payments. Also, by directing these tax refunds as prepayments towards their mortgage, our clients are essentially using their income tax dollars to become mortgage free much faster!
No, you are not required to wait until your renewal date. However, it is important to consider the total cost of terminating your existing mortgage and the setting up the new mortgage into your decision. We assist our clients in these calculations so that we can clearly determine what the best timing is to enter this strategy.
Because your mortgage is becoming more and more tax deductible over time, there is a natural hedge should interest rates being to rise. The higher rates increase the more tax deductions you will receive within this strategy. This is very different in comparison to a traditional mortgage where the borrower is exposed to 100% of the risk of rising interest rates. However, we always ensure that our strategies are locked in at rates that are the most advantageous possible. For example, if we can lock in the investment lending portion into a 5 year term, this will help stabalize the strategy for a defined period of time.
This is what we call "mortgage converstion date."
It is the moment that your entire mortgage has become tax deductible. You are not done at this point, as we need to now reach your "mortgage freedom date."
This is the date that the total level of investment assets matches the total level of debt within the strategy. The journey to mortgage freedom involves the repositioning of the mortgage into an efficient standard mortgage. Only difference is now, at this point going forward, you will receive tax deductions from simply making your mortgage payments.
This will vary depending upon a number of factors. The minimum cost is usually 3 months interest, which is always favourable to pay in order to enter into this strategy more quickly. However, should interest rates be more favourable currently, there may be an interest rate differential calculation take affect.
Our team will assist in the calculation of these exact costs so that you are 100% certain that is the most suitable time to consider entering into the strategy.
