The “smith Mortgage Strategy” (tax Deductible Home Loan Strategy)

Who would not want to:

• Pay down their home loan more quickly – taux hypothécaire
• Reduce taxes and
• Save more for retirement

There is a home loan strategy called “the Smith Maneuver” that helps you achieve all of these goals, all at the same time – taux hypothécaire.

This kind of mortgage strategy is named for its inventor, Fraser Smith. Mr. Smith is a financial planner in British Colombia who invented this interesting strategy a few years ago. I was fortunate enough to be one of three brokers from Quebec to meet Mr. Smith when he spoke on this concept in Toronto.

This strategy, formed for a mortgage product that can expressly use it, permits the mortgage holder to make an investment or pay business expenses and, over time, get a tax benefit from the related interest expenses. There are a number of ways in which it can work, but if it is approached in the right manner, you can limit your risk while increasing how efficiently the strategy works for you. There are many parts to this strategy, so it is recommended that you phone and discuss your individual circumstances and how they can be taken into consideration using this strategy. We work with financial planners who can analyze your financial needs and put the right package together for you – taux hypothécaire.
