What is Mortgage Refinancing? Mortgage refinancing is when you payout your current mortgage balance with a new mortgage and increase the amount you are borrowing. It is a very common practice in Canada. Why Would I Refinance My Mortgage? Well, this answer is different for every person. Debt Consolidation Many people will refinance their mortgage to consolidate debts and achieve better cash flow. For example: If you are struggling with your monthly payments such as credit cards, car payments, lines of credits, loans, you can consolidate them into your mortgage you will have one easy monthly payment. Since your mortgage amortization is typically much longer than a traditional loan your monthly payment will be less and much more affordable. Mortgage Equity Take Outs Another reason why people refinance is to access the equity in their home or better known as an equity take out. You can pull out equity in your home for investment purposes such as getting a down payment for a second home or rental property. It is also common for clients to refinance for renovation purposes, such as remodeling your kitchen. To Save on Interest If your mortgage interest rate is higher than the current mortgage rates you can also refinance to get a lower rate. This is also the case if you have high interest loans, by consolidating them with your mortgage you can save on interest as well. What is Needed to Refinance?
