    Question: if you own 1 principal home and 2 investment properties of which you rent out one and the other, you use as a secondary residence.... can you take money out of the rented property to cover the loan of the secondary residence? What is the tax implication for such a maneuver? Thank you :) love your videos.

    What is the tax implication of a buyout of a rental property equally owned by two people for few years but now owned by one of them as a result of the buyout? What is the tax implication for both parties in year of buyout? How should ACB & CG be calculated when the new owner eventually sells the property?

    If for example you live in Property 1, you took out equity in say Jan 31, 2022 via refinancing. You were living in the Property 1 when you took the equity. Now in Aug 01, 2022 you rented the Property 1 and move to property 2 (you used the equity for making a down payment in Property 2 in August 2022). Given that you were living in P1 when equity was taken out so therefore you can deduct the full interest as expense towards the rental income. Is my statement correct.? Your help in this will be much appreciated.

    (1) What if you use the refinanced money to buy a primary residence and then airbnb it? I assume since it's primary residence, then the interest is not tax deductible.
    (2) Then I assume if you use the refinanced money to buy another property (not primary residence) and then airbnb it, that makes deducting the interest expense okay.
    (3) Also if someone uses the refinanced money to do a fix and flip, since it's an investment I also assume that's okay then?

    This is so helpful! I’m looking to build a additional dwelling unit in my backyard and was going to leverage a HELOC then refinance my mortgage at renewal. Because all the funds extracted are going to build the ADU then pay off the LOC, are all the opening cost for both the HELOC and the refinanced mortgage tax deductible? Is there a benefit to keeping the mortgage for the ADU separate?

    Thank you for the video. I was looking for the information on this. We have a rental property that was our primary home for many years and we moved out and turned it to our rental. Now the mortgage renewal for rental is coming up soon in 5 months and we would like to access the equity of the place to renovate our current home. I reached out to my accountant about the tax implications and she basically said that we can refinance the rental and report rental income as usual. I don't know if it is correct though as I know the interest on rental income mortgage is tax deductible...Is this true? If not, how can I report the rental income at tax season? I don't know how the calculation would be done.....Thank you if you can respond to my inquiry...

    Thank you for your video. I have a question. In case someone refinances investment property few times so that his outstanding mortgage has increased from 200000 to 500000 (just like your example in the video). If one decides to sell his primary residence and move in that investment property for more than one year before eventually selling it off, he is not liable for any capital gain taxes (on the money he obtained by refinancing earlier). Is that correct? Thanks In advance.

    Hi Cherry,
    Thanks for providing some details on this topic!
    I have a situation I was hoping you would be so kind to shed some light on:
    Situation: Refinanced a Property that half is rented out and the other half I live in. Mortgage had $350k remaining and refinanced to take out $200k. Plan is to use the money to purchase a new rental house when time is right but for now it is sitting in High Interest Saving account earning interest (interest % earned is greater than mortgage interest rate).
    Option 1: Even though it is one mortgage of 550k now, I record the 200k separately and I deduct the full amount of the 200k interest against other income. This is the best option but I do not know if this would cause problem with CRA since it is all under one loan and if they would have issues with that.
    Option 2: I deduct the entire new mortgage 550k interest amount against the rental property. This would mean I would only get 60% deduction. This option is simpler to report but not as good. Would this option even be allowed?
    And advise on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Patrick

    • @RealEstateTaxTips
      @RealEstateTaxTips  2 года назад

      Interest deductibility is based on direct use of funds. Since direct use of funds for $200K is to earn high interest savings, you should be able to deduct interest related to this $200K, provided that you keep all the proper documentation. Good luck!

    Hey Cherry I have a question regarding Question 2 Example in 12:03, correct me if I am wrong but you can only refinance a property that hasn't been paid off yet. I was told if a property is fully paid out and no mortgage outstanding then it is simply a loan when you use it to borrow money again? How did the person refinance a fully mtg paid out home?

    • @RealEstateTaxTips
      @RealEstateTaxTips  Год назад +1

      You can finance a home when it is fully paid off. I guess people have very specific meaning to refinance. When a house is fully paid off, and you want to put a mortgage on it, I call it refinance, but ultimately it is simply putting a mortgage or a line of credit with your property as security.

    Since the interest charges on the mortgage to purchase a second personal use property (eg cottage) is not deductible, can you capitalize the interest charges? This would help reduce the capital gains when the cottage is sold in the future.

    • @RealEstateTaxTips
      @RealEstateTaxTips  2 года назад +1

      Unfortunately the answer is no, especially since the cottage is a personal use cottage.
      However, capital improvement you have made to to cottage can be added to the cost of purchase to reduce your future capital gain.

    I have a rental property that is fully paid as in your example and a primary property with a big mortgage on it. Get mortgage on the fully paid rental property. Use that money to lump sum pay part of primary property mortgage. Then borrow money from primary property heloc to pay rental property mortgage. The interest on primary heloc money used for rental property will be tax deductible? Similar to your interest tax deduction for rental expenses described earlier. Looks legal?

    I have a rental condo that refinanced and use that fund for down payment for my primary resident that I am living now. I am generating income through my primary resident by renting part of the house. My question is if I can use the interest for the money that I refinanced against income that I am generating through my primary resident?

  • @szuberi
    @szuberi 2 года назад

    Hi Cherry. Thank you for an excellent video. It answered many questions that I had.
    One question that I still have is this:
    I have a rental condo and I refinanced in May 2021 from one service provider to another. In doing so, I incurred penalty interest of $6K and fees of $1K. I am trying to determine whether this penalty and fees can be treated as interest expense and deductible from income? I researched a bit on the CRA website and found this:
    "Do not deduct in full for the year any lump-sum amounts paid for interest or a fee paid to reduce the interest rate on a mortgage. You prorate these amounts for the rest of the original term of the mortgage or loan. You also prorate a penalty or bonus paid to a financial institution to pay off your mortgage loan before it is due"
    From what I understand from this is that the penalty interest and fee is deductible but on a pro-rated basis. My mortgage was up for renewal in 2024 so I guess I can spread this total of $7K over three years.
    Is this a correct understanding? Much appreciate your help. Thanks

    Thank you for the video and detailed examples! Question- are legal/bank/financing fees for refinancing a rental property to purchase another rental property an expense? CRA website suggests these are "soft costs" to be expensed over 5 years, or did I misunderstand CRA guidance? Or are these costs to be capitalized as part of the acquisition of the new rental property? If to be expensed over 5 years, which rental (old or new) property should they be expensed on?
    Thanks so much.

      I'm a bit confused by your question. Interest incurred on borrowed money to earn income is tax deductible. Interest expense incurred to paydown your primary residence is generally not tax deductible unless you initially take on the mortgage on your primary residence for investment purpose only. Not sure if this helps.

    If I have a HELOC available from my primary residence and I use a portion for personal expense and a greater portion as a downpayment for my rental property. How will I prove that portion of fund that was used for rental property? Also when computing the interest on the fund used for investment portion, can it be done on your own ? Banks will just give you a summary of the annual statement.

    • @RealEstateTaxTips
      @RealEstateTaxTips  2 года назад +1

      In Canada, we always have to earn our tax deduction. You will have to prorate the interest based on the personal use and investment use of your line of credit, and deduct the portion that's related to the investment portion.
      Bank would only be able to provide you a total.

    Hi Cherry, if I am only refinancing to take out equity that was originally put into the property will that still be taxable?
    Our circumstance is we have 600k equity in our primary (owned 7 years). We have bought a new home and are moving in a month. We will be turning our old primary into a rental and having it appraised at its current market value to avoid current capital gains in the future.
    When our 1st home is up for renewal in 2 years we want to take the 600kish equity and move it to our new primary. Will this still incur a tax?

    • @RealEstateTaxTips

    I would like to ask a question that applies me :
    I have a rental condo with mortgage interests of 500$ per month, and currently renting out at 2100$ per month. I would like to avoid paying taxes on my rental revenues.

Would I be able to evade taxes on my rental revenues that way?

    Hi Cherry, I might’ve missed it. But I believe you didn’t mention for a personal owned rental properties you may use the refinance capital for investment like TSFA/RRSP.
    Does that mean if it’s personal owned, the type of investment is limited to another rental property?

    • @RealEstateTaxTips
      @RealEstateTaxTips  2 года назад +1

      Generally speaking, not advice, interest on money borrowed to invest in registered accounts in both TFSA/RRSP are not tax deductible.
      Taxpayers can use the funds to purchase another rental property, invest in stocks OUTSIDE of registered funds and generate interest income, invest in business, etc. Generally speaking, these type of investments would allow the interest incurred on the additional loan as deductible.
      Hope it helps.
