Expert Mortgage Refinancing in ontario

Mortgage Refinancing in Toronto

What are some pros and cons of refinancing?

The Pros of Refinancing Your Mortgage

Of course, the best reason is to get a mortgage with real benefits.

Extra funds for renovations or for investment purposes, by borrowing up to 80% of a home's value.

Save money by taking advantage of lower rates or locking in to protect against future rate increases.

Create cash flow by lowering an existing mortgage payment through a lower rate or extended loan terms.

Pay off a mortgage faster with lower rates and a shorter loan term, keeping roughly the same payments.

Consolidate higher-interest debts into a lower-rate mortgage with one easy payment.

The Cons of Refinancing Your Mortgage

Too many expenses could negate the benefits of a mortgage refinance.

However, I will carefully review a borrower’s current mortgage terms to better understand whether the costs and fees after refinancing are more favourable.

A refinance typically takes approximately 2-3 weeks to finalize the details.

The good news is that I will help make the mortgage refinancing process simple, stress-free and a convenient experience.

Mortgage Refinancing in Toronto

Examples of Common Refinancing Fees

Mortgage registration fee, amount varies by province.

Legal fees (a lawyer will need to oversee a new mortgage).

Appraisal fee (a lender will want a home appraised to determine the maximum mortgage amount and to know the value of the asset).

Mortgage discharge fees may be due when switching to a different lender.

Mortgage prepayment penalties, which for fixed-rate mortgages will be the greater of either 3 months' interest, or the Interest Rate Differential (IRD), to make up for interest that was promised to the lender for the original mortgage.

I can help determine if the pros outweigh the cons for a mortgage refinance.
