Pre-Approved Mortgages
A pre-approved mortgage allows you to know how much of a mortgage you qualify for and how much of a house you can afford. When you pre-qualify for a mortgage, you get a guaranteed rate for 120 days. If interest rates rise, you have a locked in rate. If interest rates drop, you will automatically get the lower rate.
Getting pre-qualified for a home loan will give you an idea of what purchase price you want to spend to get payments you are comfortable with. A pre-approved mortgage makes the seller feel more confident by knowing that you are a serious buyer and gives you more leverage when negotiating a purchase price for your new home.

Debt Consolidation
If you have equity in your home, you may want to take advantage of the low mortgage interest rates to consolidate your bills with your mortgage payment. You would have only 1 easy payment per month which would be less than your existing mortgage combined with your credit card debt. This would provide some relief on the debt you have to pay every month.
An average credit card charges approximately 18% interest. Assuming that your interest rate on your mortgage is 5%, you would actually be saving 13% interest on that outstanding balance. If you are concerned that your mortgage would increase, you could always take the extra money you normally pay on bills every month and increase your payments on your mortgage by using your prepayment privileges. That way you would be paying the same amount per month except more of your money would be going towards reducing the debt not towards the interest. You would actually build home equity sooner.

Mortgage Renewals and Transfers
Interest rates have not been this low for many years. We can hold an interest rate for up to 120 days prior to your renewal. If interest rates go down, you get the lower rate. If interest rates go up, you keep the rate that is on the commitment or get the lowest rate during the 120 day period, whichever is lower.
It is always wise to start an application between 5 or 6 months before your existing mortgage comes up for renewal. Sometimes it is more beneficial to RENEW YOUR MORTGAGE EARLY.

Buying a New Home
Putting 0% - 20% as a down payment classifies a mortgage as a "hi ratio" mortgage. A high ratio mortgage must be insured by the government against default through either Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation or a private insurance company approved by the government.
The "CMHC" fees range from .5% to 3.40% depending on how much of a down payment is put towards the purchase. The one time insurance premium is added to the principal amount of your mortgage. Putting 25% or more as your down payment classifies your mortgage as a "conventional" mortgage. No CMHC fee will be charged. Having a mortgage broker work on your behalf saves you the time of having to shop around for the best rate.
With over 32 lenders competing for your mortgage, only one credit bureau being pulled, and no fees are charged to you for this service, YOU COME OUT THE WINNER!

Refinancing Your Mortgage
You may have a mortgage with a higher interest rate. Your mortgage specialist at Sterling Mortgage will be able to run an amortization schedule to see if you would benefit from refinancing. Your current lender will charge you a penalty to get out of your existing mortgage before the term has ended. Don't let this scare you. The penalty could be as low as 3 months interest, roughly 3 mortgage payments, yet the benefit of having the lower interest rate during the same time period could save you tens of thousands of dollars. The money needed to pay the penalty fee from your existing lender can also be incorporated into your new mortgage, should you wish, and you could still come out substantially ahead.
Mortgage refinancing can be a good way to take advantage of the low interest rates, while freeing up some money to complete home renovations, take a long overdue trip or simply give you some extra cash.

Establish Credit with a Home Trust Secured Visa Card
If you would like to establish or re establish your credit, a secured Visa card may be right for you. The Visa Company will require a security deposit, which earns interest. You then are given a limit equivalent to that of the deposit. A bill will be sent to you each month when you have made purchases. It does not matter if you pay the minimum payment or the entire bill but to establish good credit, you need to pay the bill on time!
After the Visa company reviews your file, (generally 1-2 years), and are satisfied with the way your account has been handled, they will send you back your deposit, with interest!
