Annual Mortgage Checkup

A smart homeowner may want to review his current mortgage to see if there is any area for further improvements. This review may well be part of your annual financial health checkup. You may find you need to change your mortgage if you are in one of the following situations:

  1. Your mortgage rate is higher than what you can get from the current market; lower rates save money.
  2. You have quite some balances on other debts such as credit cards, car loans, or line of credits. Some of these debts carry much higher interest rates than mortgages.
  3. You need some money to start your own business or send your kids to a university.
  4. You need some money to renovate your home or you may want to borrow some mortgage money to invest to earn an income!

Mortgages are the cheapest money in Canada. The money you borrowed can be used in other areas as well.

Math calculations are needed for checking to see if you are better off to do a refinance.
