FAQ

Questions About Refinancing Solutions

Everything you need to know about refinancing solutions.

When to Refinance

Refinance when rates drop 0.75-1.00% below your current rate, when you need capital for acquisitions, or when your amortization is too short. Rising occupancy or improved NOI also creates refinance opportunities.
Rate & term refinancing typically closes in 30-45 days. Cash-out refinances may take 45-60 days depending on appraisal and underwriting complexity.
Expect 1-2% of the loan amount in legal fees, appraisal, title insurance, and lender fees. Rate savings often recover these costs within 12-24 months.

Refinance Options & Structures

CMHC-insured refinances offer lower rates and longer amortization (up to 50 years) but require mortgage insurance premiums. Conventional refinancing is faster but typically has higher rates and shorter amortization (25-35 years).
Most lenders allow 80-90% LTV on multi-family cash-out refinances, depending on your occupancy rate, DSCR, and property condition. A $5M property with 80% LTV could access up to $1M in equity.
Most Canadian mortgages have closed terms with penalties if you pay off early. Ask your lender about penalty structures—some CMHC programs have lower penalties to encourage refinancing.
