Thinking of buying an investment property? π Here’s why it could be a smart move:
1. Great Entry Point: Dive into the market and reduce your mortgage payments! For a property priced at $850,000 with a 20% down payment at a 5% interest rate, your monthly costs are approximately $4,201, including mortgage, property tax, and insurance. By renting out the basement for $1,700-$1,900, you can slash your mortgage payments to just $2,300-$2,500! π π‘
2. Porting Your Mortgage: If you have a low-interest mortgage, porting it to a new property can save you money on your mortgage because you would get a blended rate which would be cheaper than the current market rate. πΈ
3. Increase Rental Income: Explore options to add a third unit for even more rental revenue. π
When NOT to buy:
-If you need immediate cash flow π΅
-If you have a short-term property plan (1-3 years) β³
-If youβre relying solely on property appreciation π
-Just to jump into the market without a clear strategy π«
