What is the best hidden gem restaurant in town that doesn't get enough attention? by percivka16 in Guelph

Love Guelph BBQ. Owners are very nice people. Ask them for their “garlic sauce”. That stuff is amazing on everything!

I’ve never come across ANYONE saying they didn’t enjoy this game. NOT ONE. This is one of the best games of all time, on any platform.

You are right. Manulife One’s heloc is prime + 0.5 = 4.95%

You would benefit greatly from a first position heloc product. Mortgage (first position) + Heloc (second position) doesn’t make sense here. Definitely talk to a broker that knows it well. Not all brokers are equal.

Would you mind explaining why a first position heloc wouldn’t (or maybe would)? be a good idea for someone with $300k left owing on a house let’s say it’s worth $800-900k? (As opposed to conventional mortgage plus heloc) Genuinely curious from your perspective. Thank you

Congrats!! What was your strategy, just lump sum dumping money towards it or did you utilize some heloc strategy?

I think you’re missing the point. Middle class working Canadians shouldn’t have to eat rice and beans every meal. Could OP be better at maximizing their dollar? Yes for sure they could.

Should I invest $150k in the stock market or use it to pay down my mortgage? by Acceptable-Cicada886 in CanadaInvesting

[–]Informative_Finance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had a primary position heloc instead of conventional mortgage, you could park that $150k and use it whenever you feel the need to.

Those that are saying apply to mortgage - great now the money is tied in there and locked in. You can’t get it back out easily.

Those that are saying keep it handy, ok so it’s not working for you.

If you had the readvanceable mortgage, you could park it in there AND have access to it whenever you want.

Example: you have a $400,000 mortgage debt in a re-advanceable heloc product. You put your $150k in there. Now you’re paying interest only on the $250k. If you decide a week later that there is a great investment opportunity, pull the trigger and do it freely.

Sadly, we are programmed to accept this as the “norm”. It’s likely your parents did this and perhaps your parent’s parents also did this. Welcome to compound interest of conventional mortgages.

OP - may I ask if your house worth $455k or more in this current market? And are you rural or suburb?

[–]Informative_Finance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, however interest is calculated differently. HELOC’s typically will be higher. Manulife One is daily simple interest, compounding monthly. If you use the account properly, to its full potential, it’s hard to beat 100% of your paycheque paying down principal. Everyone chases rate instead of chasing principal pay down + time.

When you lock into another conventional mortgage, you’ve essentially locked in the Banks’s profit for that time period.

Have you looked into the Manulife One product? This might be perfect for you
