Refinancing is the process of replacing an existing mortgage with a new one, typically to secure a lower interest rate, access home equity, change the loan term, or consolidate debt. In Canadian real estate investing, refinancing is a key step in the BRRRR strategy, allowing investors to pull out capital after a property has been renovated and reappraised at a higher ARV.
