Buying your next property

Moving up or moving on

Selling your home to buy another one is not something that most people do often enough to become experts at the ins and outs of moving up or moving on. That’s why your HSBC Mortgage Specialist is here to help.

Some homeowners move up to a more expensive property while others are in the process of downsizing life and expenses. Either way, an HSBC Mortgage Specialist can recommend the most effective financial strategy based on a number of critical factors, including:

The type of mortgage you have (open or closed)
Your current interest rate
The time remaining on your current mortgage term
The amount of additional cash you may need to buy your next home

An HSBC mortgage specialist can contact your current financial institution and make all the arrangements for you.

There are many ways to finance an investment property in Canada. An HSBC Mortgage Specialist can help you establish your best approach based on how long you plan to own the property, your cash flow needs and the amount of capital your are prepared to invest up-front.

Short-term strategies, such as “house-flipping”, differ from longer-term investments. So, it’s important to develop a financial plan that includes the most effective financing option.

Assuming that you are investing for the long-term, you have options.
A conventional mortgage	A Home Equity Line of Credit
Assigning a conventional mortgage to your investment property is common. Based on your down payment, the income from the property should cover the Principal and Interest payments and provide a contingency fund.	If you have sufficient equity in your primary residence, a Home Equity Line of Credit can be a flexible and effective way to combine all of your debt into one package. If you anticipate the ability to make additional and lump-sum payments, this can be a very profitable approach.

The amount of your down payment is a critical factor in establishing a long-term and reliable return on your investment. Work with your Realtor and your HSBC mortgage specialist to determine the most cost-effective down payment amount based on the value of the property and its income potential. More might not always be better.

Vacation properties can easily turn into family legacies and provide years of enjoyment for generations to come. There are many factors to consider when you choose a long-term financing solution. For example:

Do you plan to pass this property to family members as part of your estate?
Will you receive any income from the property by renting it from time to time?
How quickly would you like to pay it off?

An HSBC Mortgage Specialist knows how to help you determine the best long-term solution for you and your family.
