    This is well put together! However, I'll add that it depends on your goal. If one is buying for the purpose of staying in the long term, then one needs to time the entry point into the ownership market properly (which could take a good number of years) in order to break-even and incur the most minimum cost over the mortgage life, except one's down-payment is already mammoth. On the other hand, if it's in a view to resell at good appreciation in some years, then an early entry into an area which boasts good potential is fantastic. Again, like you showed, doing the numbers is key!

    • @WhizQueen

      Absolutely! There are definitely different ways to look at it and defining your long term goal is important.

    Thank you for this insight into the property sector in Canada, what doesn't make sense to me is paying bigger interest verses actual principal value, that mortgage system favours lenders!

    I’m not sure about Canada but In America, you get the write of the interest during tax season. I own 2 houses in America. My mortgage for my 5 bedroom single family is only $1680. But I just got lucky when I bought it in 2020 I guess. I got a 2.9 infest rate.

    Many real estate agents and brokers do not guide new buyers because they want that sale. Just like you WhizQ, I also am not sure I want to be pinned down to one location so your vid really hit home for me.

    Whiz you maybe getting negative cash flow now by paying out of pocket to cover your mortgage if you decide to rent all 3rooms but don't also forget the house would appreciate. What you bought for 600k now may be 850k in 3years which would obviously cover the interest in this case (2500x36months=90k), property tax, home insurance while leaving you with some profit. Which high interest savings will give you this ROI in 3yrs? Real estate is long term gain reason I would always prefer a mortgage.

    • @WhizQueen
      @WhizQueen  Год назад

      I understand your perspective but capital appreciation is also based on hope. All the people that bought properties a year/two ago are currently in negative proper value. One can never be too sure of how the market will turn out in the next 5 years. Plus you forget that even with capital appreciation there is capital gains tax.
      Like I mentioned in the end of the video, I do believe real estate is a profitable investment but it could also go south if not properly planned.

    Whiz, I applaud you again girl. You made the right decision by renting first: you limit your libility that way as your mortgage will be paid will after tax dollars. If you are going to buy it's better to buy with at least one parner, this way you"ll have some support. I would buy one with you because you are smart woman. Sadly I cannot say so for many others. Keep up the good channel.

    • @WhizQueen
      @WhizQueen  Год назад +1

      Agreed! Buying with one's partner is also a good way to go, there is more protection and room for flexibility.

    Buying a house on mortgage is not worth it if you can’t comfortably afford it. People eventually spend almost double the actual home price after 30yrs of paying mortgage. I love how simple and detailed this video is, well done b!👏🏾🤍

    She reasons just like me lol. Smart woman👍Most people tie themselves up with a mortgage just because they want to show off and tell people they own a property, when in fact renting is usually way cheaper. Only get a mortgage if you have a lot of money to throw around and really don't care about paying property tax, monthly maintenance and other extra expenses.

    @silviaokoye8472 Год назад

    Please that is not how mortgage works since pay interest on the depreciating value and so it's not static on the initial $600k of the first year since, the principal you pay is deducted from the cost of the house.
    You misunderstood it cos of your over confidence. There is no way you principal will be $700k and interest $2500k cos i just did the calculation and found out you are wrong.
    $700×12(yr)×25(yr)= $210k?? you said the actual cost of the house is $600k.
    On the other hand, $2500×12(yr)×25(yr)=$750k??
    Please don't mislead people from doing the right thing.
