TThanks Cherry Chan for this video. I just wish there is a template of the sheet you used to calculate the sale and finance

You are only paying the bank if you don’t sell. So much risk without the reward. Sell and you can get a GIC with 5% and you don’t have to worry about renters and government control.

I agree to a certain extent - using my mom as an example, selling allow her to cash out, investing in Enbridge share will give her 7.5% return annually. Way better than holding the property. Even for her, it's still better off to keep it given that she personally can't handle the ups and downs of stock market. For the people who believe in the market and would like to minimize taxes, that's a different story. Selling now means they have to pay higher amount of capital gain tax

@@RealEstateTaxTipsAs a back of napkin rule, if your investment property is cash flow negative but you can afford to carry it (and only then) it would be any advantage of refinancing for getting cash flow positive and then being taxed on the profit ? And that beside more interest being paid overall with less home equity being built! Ultimate thought being to hold for price appreciation in time… Very interesting video 😊 Thank you

Sell the investment property will put yourself in the highest tax bracket, GIC may not a good option from the tax perspective.

I've always considered refinancing but the problem with it is that your principal mortgage will go up and your monthly will go up as well. So now it'll take you longer to pay your home loan. You surely get your equity but you better make sure you invest that money that it can supplement the higher home loan amount you now owe.

100% agree - hence why it's important to know what your goals are... and make sure the new investment can cover the increased carrying cost of refinancing.

First. I want to say I really appreciate your channel and its content. I am curious about a kind of specific tax scenario. If you buy a pre sale property and two years later it’s complete and you mortgage it out as a rental property and it grew in price substantially between this time. Do you pay capital gains tax on the value it went up between presale purchase agreement and actual possession when you do decide to sell? Or only value it went up from possession of home until time of sale?

Does it make sense to convert a variable mortgage of 6.58% to fixed mortgage now with same bank? Or wait for for more interest drops with variable?

Hi Cherry, I have an identical property as you described except that I don't have a mortgage on it. Could a large renovation cost say $180K on the property be used to decrease capital gains if I sell or refinance? I appreciate your analytical response 😊

Hey Cherry How does a large renovation factor in? Is this a capital cost that would decrease the capital gains?

Hi Cherry. We are looking at selling our rental property to our son. If capital gain is over $250,000, but we are splitting the capital gain, then would my husband and I be at 50% each as far as gain goes. If you have any other suggestions around selling this property and saving us tax money, that’d be greatly appreciated. Cheers

What happen with the vendor take back when you sell

If you took a VTB at closing your purchase, it is treated just like a regular mortgage and will be paid out on closing. To the principal and interest plus any other fees will be provided to your lawyer on the discharge statement to be paid. P.s im a real estate conveyancer 😊
