Investing or renovating?
Don’t waste time speculating what your lender will approve you for! Refinancing to invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and/or RRSPs is acceptable. You also can refinance to buy an investment property, spruce up your current property, or further your education. Providing cash to a member of the family for a down payment is another motive to refinance your current mortgage.

Refinance to Consolidate Debt
Overwhelmed by large debts? Refinancing your mortgage permits you to transfer high-interest debt (like automobile loans) to a lower interest debt (like your mortgage) to decrease interest debt, which can save you thousands. Since there can be fees involved, it will take some analysis to decide if the numbers work in your favor. We can assist you to decide if refinancing is the sensible way to manage your debt.
Better Rate?
Capitalizing on the possible current low rates? Keep in mind there can be a fee to renegotiate your mortgage. The penalty amount will range depending on your current rate (fixed vs. variable) and the specific terms you agreed to when first getting your mortgage. In some cases, the financial savings for the low fee offers justification to make the change. Don’t get lost in the math. We can determine if it is smarter to stick it out or start with a new mortgage option.
Amount?
Wondering how much cash you can potentially access? The maximum quantity you may refinance for is 80% of your property value, also referred to as Loan to Value (LTV). To calculate this, we need to know the current value of your property. Recent property assessments can be a good starting point. But lenders will require more precision and will send an independent appraiser to inspect your property and provide the correct current market value. Lenders will also think about your current income, debt, and credit score when deciding how much money they may be comfortable with providing you now.
