General Q&A Session

GDP Growth
Unemployment
Inflation (CPI)
September BOC
Announcement

September BOC Announcement Update
GDP slowed in the second
quarter of 2023 and missed
market expectations by
0.3%.
Canadian economy
contracted by 0.20%
(annualized) and is currently
well below the market
expectations of 1.2%
growth for 2023
GDP GROWTH

Currently 5.50% as of
August 2023 and has been
slowly rising since May 2023
after stagnating at 5.00%
for almost 6 months.
UNEMPLOYMENT

Rose slightly to 3.30% for
July largely due to gas price
fluctuations
BOC expects inflation to his
2% target by late 2024 or
early 2025
INFLATION (CPI): Average change in prices for a market basket of consumer goods.

INFLATION IMPACTS

OFSI Changes
Effective end of lender fiscal 2023
 November 1st for many lenders but
otherwise, January 1st, 2024
Re-advanceable mortgages will be
capped at 65% LTV - (currently 80% LTV)
Can refinance up to 80%, but most be as
mortgage
HELOC CHANGES 2023

OFSI Changes
Appraisal value of $600K
Current credit limit of $480K (80% LTV)
The credit limit will decrease by $300/mth until
the credit limit is $390K (65% LTV) over 25
years:
Original credit limit $480K – Credit Limit
at 65% LTV $390K = $90K
$90k divided by 300 months = $300.
Annual impact is $3,600
HELOC CHANGES 2023
Example:

OFSI Changes
What should you do?
Refinance before the deadline to
take advantage of the current 80%
LTV re-advanceable rules
HELOC CHANGES 2023

Niche Lending Solutions
High net worth
NIAT (Net Income After Tax)
Reverse mortgages

High Net Worth
Access higher lending with liquid
investments/savings
Some lenders will allow you to borrow
above your limit based on liquid savings
Eg – If your max borrowing is $500K but
you have $300K in liquid savings
(outside down payment then you can
potentially borrow $800K
Minimum amount usually $250K+

NIAT: Net Income After Taxes
For corporate clients some “A” lenders will
consider net income after taxes to assist
with borrowing
Eg. – Corporation shows $200K NIAT, some
lenders will allow up to 60% of this income
to be added to application or $120,000
Allows clients to take advantage of “A” pricing
to assist with cash-flow
Clients can show LESS personal income and
still qualify for traditional lending

NIAT Example
A B
Dividend Income $100,000 $100,000
NIAT of $200,000 $0 $120,000
Total $100,000 $220,000
EST. Max lending $400,000 $950,000

Reverse Mortgages
Access money from your home without
selling or any monthly repayments
Minimum age is 55 years
Max LTV is 55% (subject to age, property
location and value)
Interest is compounded and added to
original balance.
Current rates 8%+
Mortgage is paid out with sale or death.

Reverse Mortgages
E.g.: $1.5MM Personal Residence
No mortgage
70 years old
Max borrowing est. $600K

Reverse Mortgages
Mortgage doesn’t require monthly payments.
Better cash-flow
Tax-free equity take out. No impact to existing
government benefits.
Can receive lump-sum + monthly distributions
Can be used to invest/gift for down payment
Retire immediately
ADVANTAGES/STRATEGIES

Reverse Mortgages
Equity is eroded with interest compounding
and non-payment.
MISCONCEPTIONS

Reverse Mortgages

How to position yourself today
for a new mortgage/renewal

Mortgage Strategies
Assuming, based on the data, that rates will come
down in the second half of 2024 for some clients
considering a 1-year fixed rate might be the best
option.
Current 1-year fixed rates are higher than longer
terms but allow the opportunity to renegotiate when
rates ultimately come down in late 2024. Some of
our lenders allow a 6-month early renewal feature,
which means you can renegotiate sooner.
1 YEAR FIXED RATE

Mortgage Strategies
For the more risk-averse.
Would be ideal to help lock in rates and monthly
payments.
3-year terms are currently better priced but note
that they come with a large penalty if you decide to
break.
2-3 YEAR FIXED RATES

Mortgage Strategies
With rates nearing the top of the market, variable
rates are likely to make a comeback.
If you can get a very attractive discount on a variable
rate, this might be the way to go and enjoy the
benefit of rate decreases over the next few years.
5 YEAR VARIABLE/ADJUSTABLE RATES

Mortgage Strategies
If you have a variable/adjustable rate with a short
time to maturity (say, 1-2 years), consider asking
about converting to a short-term fixed rate to hedge
against future increases.
Many lenders allow this option without a penalty or a
new application to be completed.
CONVERT TO FIXED

Mortgage Strategies
HELOCs are often used to fund renovations,
investments and emergencies, but they can also be
used to carry your traditional mortgage balance.
Instead of borrowing with a mortgage on a fixed or
variable term, a HELOC allows you to have a fully open,
interest-only option. This means that although your
payments are adjustable (linked to Prime), you will only
have to make minimum monthly interest payments,
which could allow you to increase cash flow significantly.
CONSIDER A HELOC
