I often get asked this question: "Should I go fixed or variable?", and it's impossible for me to answer. 𝗦𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗴𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
● What's the difference between the rates?
● How comfortable are you with rates going up?
● How long will you stay in this property?
● Are you okay with the penalty if you break early?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If there is a difference between variable and fixed, about three-quarters of a percent, almost always consider variable rate. BUT if the rates are where they are right now, which are VERY close to each other, we gotta plan this out before I can give you my suggestions.

Your down payment is due on OR a couple of days before closing. This means you gotta make sure your RSPs are withdrawn, gifts are cleared, certified check's in your account and ready to go.
Deposit? That's usually 5% and due on the purchase date.
As for me getting a piece of your money, I don't get any of that. But your lawyer does!

Today’s #AskJake question is all about CMHC mortgage insurance. A client wanted to know if they put 5% down and build up 20% equity, does their insurance go away? Find out in one minute by watching my video ⬆️
The new and improved CMHC FIRST-TIME BUYER program increases the maximum purchase price to $722,000, and increases the maximum income to $160,000, will lower your monthly payment AND lower your CMHC fee!
It's only available in Toronto and is aimed squarely at condos since realistically it's hard to find a freehold under $722,000 in the 416. It's also available in Vancouver and Victoria so if you have friends out there... let them know!
It's not perfect. You're getting in bed with CMHC and have to pay them a small % gain of your equity growth. However when programs are loosened, it's a sign the Government wants to keep the housing market strong. And when condos are down and out, that's when it's the best time to buy. Food for thought!
It's really hard to keep pumping out content that's new and fresh because when you live and breathe this stuff, everything becomes second nature.
During a recent client call, I said to my client, “I love that question, I should write a blog post on it..."
...and then I realized tadah! This'll make a great series. Introducing #AskJake, a 1 minute (or less) video series of real life questions from real life clients with real life mortgage scenarios.
This week's video is just an intro.... stay tuned for the real meat and potatoes next week!
OH AND! If YOU have ANY mortgage-related questions, shoot them here. If your question gets picked as the winner for a future question, you'll win $50 at amazon.ca!

...I had to pay this kid in #robux.
I’m at 5 Dufresne Court - the first-ever apartment I lived in when I came to Canada. And I’m going to give away FREE RENT to unit 1802 for 1 month!
I wanted to celebrate and give back to the community - where I’ve come from.
Frankly speaking, if you told me when I was living here that I would be a homeowner, I would never believe you. And the only reason I am a homeowner is that I was able to do so with 5% down.
This is My 5% Down Journey, a series.
