Refinance and equity planning

Model penalties, savings, and readvanceable structures before you switch.

Model everything before you sign

We test scenarios for debt consolidation, renovations, investment borrowing, or unlocking equity for future purchases. Every recommendation includes penalty math, cash-flow projections, and compliance notes.

What we deliver

You get a refinance report with lender comparisons, penalty breakdowns, and post-close amortization paths. Our Supabase workflows log every conversation so regulators, lenders, and your own records stay aligned.

If a readvanceable mortgage or HELOC strategy fits, we detail Smith Manoeuvre / Maneuver and rental damming considerations, and loop in tax professionals for nuance.

Benefits

  • Objective analysis on break costs versus savings.
  • Access to lenders with flexible prepayment and HELOC features.
  • Integrated dashboard tracking for new goals and renewal reminders.

Risks & mitigations

Refinancing resets amortization and can erode equity if not planned carefully. We show worst-case interest costs, highlight trigger-rate exposure, and protect CASL consent throughout the communication sequence.

Toolkit

  • Refinance analyzer for penalty and savings comparisons.
  • Breakeven calculator to project timelines.
  • HELOC planner for readvanceable structures.

Frequently asked questions

Should I break early to refinance?

We calculate lender penalties (IRDs or 3-month interest), blend-and-extend options, and the impact on your amortization so you can compare apples-to-apples.

Can I consolidate unsecured debt into my mortgage?

Yes, if the numbers support it. We stress-test post-consolidation ratios, outline HELOC options, and show the total interest over time so you can decide confidently.

What about rental properties or readvanceable plans?

We document cash/rental damming strategies, Smith Manoeuvre / Maneuver considerations, and coordinate with tax advisors so everything stays compliant.
