Amortization extension is the process of lengthening the remaining repayment period of a mortgage, which reduces monthly payments by spreading the outstanding balance over a longer timeframe. For Canadian investors, this can improve cash flow on rental properties but typically results in paying more interest over the life of the loan and may require lender approval or refinancing.
