Knowledge Saves you Money!

Are you approaching the renewal date of your mortgage within the next six months? This is a crucial time to assess your options and make informed decisions that can potentially save you thousands of dollars. Take a moment to explore the following opportunities available to you:


1.     Renew at Your Existing Lender: Renewing with your current lender may seem convenient, but it's essential to evaluate whether this option still aligns with your financial goals and offers the best terms. A thorough comparison is necessary to ensure you're not missing out on more favorable options elsewhere.


2.    Switch to a New Lender with a Lower Rate: Market conditions fluctuate, and other lenders may be offering more competitive rates than your current one. Switching to a new lender could result in substantial savings on your monthly mortgage payments. It's worth exploring this possibility to secure a better deal for yourself.


3.     Leverage Your Mortgage for Added Benefits: Consider increasing your mortgage to access the equity you've built over time. This opens up a range of opportunities:


     a. Consolidate Debts: By using your increased mortgage amount, you can consolidate high-interest debts into a single, more manageable payment. This strategy allows you to save on interest and gain control over your finances.

     b. Invest in Renovations: Tap into your home equity to fund renovations that enhance your living space, improve property value, and cater to your changing needs.

     c. Purchase a Rental Property: Explore the possibility of purchasing a rental property as an additional income stream and an investment opportunity. Your increased mortgage can make this venture more accessible.

     d. Purchase a New Primary Residence: If you're considering a new primary residence, using your increased mortgage to finance the purchase can provide flexibility and convenience.


4.     Decrease Your Mortgage If You Have Cash on Hand: If you have excess cash available, consider reducing your mortgage principal. By making a lump sum payment, you can lower your overall interest costs and potentially shorten the duration of your mortgage.


5.    Harness the Power of a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC enables you to access funds based on the equity in your home whenever you need them. This line of credit can be a valuable resource for home renovations, education expenses, or unforeseen financial obligations.


6.     Opt for a Re-Advanceable Mortgage: A re-advanceable mortgage combines your mortgage and a home equity line of credit. This option allows you to have ongoing access to your equity as your mortgage payments reduce your principal. It offers flexibility and convenience for future borrowing needs.
