Five honest calculators, no email required. Slide things around, see what fits, then bring me the real deal.
Estimates only. Doesn't include property tax, insurance, CMHC premiums on down payments under 20%, or the federal stress test. For the number a lender will actually approve, ask me.
Uses standard GDS (39%) and TDS (44%) ratios with an allowance for property tax and heat. Your real approval depends on credit, the property, and the lender's stress-test qualifying rate. Let's confirm your true number together.
Compares your remaining term at both rates on today's balance. Real penalties (especially IRD on fixed terms) vary a lot by lender. I'll pull your exact figure before you decide.
Assumes 3%/yr appreciation and rent growth, plus rough carrying costs (0.4% tax, 1% maintenance) over a 25-year amortization. A directional comparison, not a forecast. Powell River's market has its own story.
Rental financing needs 20%+ down and a 25-year amortization. Cap rate uses income minus operating expenses; cash-on-cash divides annual cash flow by your down payment. Bring me the listing and I'll pressure-test the numbers.
