A great retirement can be yours

You can say goodbye to daily commuting, daily restaurant meals, impulsive shopping at nearby boutiques and all those other expenses that empty your wallet.
A golden retirement is in your reach, even if you still have mortgage payments to make. The key is managing your money so that your income always exceeds your expenses.

• Evaluate all your retirement income sources
• Make a list of all your fixed expenses
• Think about creating a cushion for unexpected expenses
• Estimate how much you will need for leisure expenses and entertainment, to enjoy life
• Create a balanced budget

Refinance your mortgage so you can start working on that project you've been dreaming about. 

• Take many trips or take the trip of a lifetime
• Buy a second home nearby or abroad
• Get your revovations done and improve your quality of life
• Adapt your property to your current physical condition
• Buy a recreational vehicle (sailboat, sports car, etc.)
• Invest in your children's or grandchildren's education

What's the key to not stress out and get the most out of life while you've still got your health?

• Pay back your mortgage over a longer period of time in order to lower your payments
• Think about your mortgage payment as a type of rent
• Be open to the idea that your mortgage won't be paid off in your lifetime
• Inform your successors of your plan to avoid surprises 
• Be confident that your debt will be taken care by your successors
• Make your successors aware of your plans to avoid surprises down the road

Upon retirement, your property could become an important source of revenue, to supplement loss of other revenue. This is mostly due to the fact that your property has increased in value over the years, and that capital gain is now available to you. Take advantage!

To maximize the benefit of your increased property value, you can get it evaluated, in order to know its current market value, then, calculate its net value, and refinance your mortage in a way that works for you. 

No longer working and finally having time to breath doesn't mean you're going to stop doing anything. Quite the contrary, the time to get to those projects you've been dreaming about is now. 

We can show you many different refinancing scenarios that respond to you specific situation. 

Thanks to your broker, you can take full advantage of your property as a source of revenue so you can be comfortable in your retirement.
