This is smart. And if you read the tax act too, you’ll learn paying taxes is not a much, it’s actually a ‘shall’

Thanks. First I hear of readvancable mortgages. Can you get one for investment properties? I assume the investment has to be made outside of a registered plan in order for you to make the interest tax deductible? Maybe I missed it but I assume you’re paying the standard monthly mortgage + interest on the readvancement amount you pull to invest so you would need extra cashflow to cover this too, right? At the end of the amortization, you would just be paying the interest on the total readvancement amount, right?

Merci, très intéressant. Thank you sir!

Sounds great but I didn’t quite understand the strategy 🤔 well . Where to start and how to do it

Hi Darren! Thanks for the great content. I am really confused with one of the concepts here and hoping you can clarify this a bit. Questions: 1. Let's say a Rental Property income is $2000/month & mortgage is $1600 ($500 Principal $900 Interest) Rental Expense is $400, and it ($2000) is first used to pay $1600 Mortgage + $400 (extra principal payment). Hence $0 cashflow from rental income. 2. You take out ($500 Principal + $400 Extra paid) from HELOC 3. Use $500 for the stock portfolio and the extra $400 to pay off the rental expenses. Q: Is the $400 (from HELOC) to pay off rental expenses, tax-deductible? (since it is used for rental property expenses?) I really appreciate your time and thanks!

Thank you for the great video. This is a game changer. Can I use this Strategies with any financial institution?

This is a simple tax rule (cost of borrowing can be written off if funds were borrowed to invest) made complex. This might work for some and doesn’t for some. If your investment from borrowed funds doesn’t beat the cost of borrowing you are at a loss at the end of the day. You’ll have more tax write offs but you’ll be at a net loss.

Wow. Thank you.

Great video I’d like to see you separate yourself from the others on KZread in this subject and have Mr Fraser breakdown the flow of cash from into the mortgage then to the heloc then to the investments and then the gains and interest Payments. There is nothing like this out there and it would be great to go in-depth much more to get a better idea of where money goes to and from which accounts. Thanks!!

Ya I'd like to go into more depth on this topic. I'm going to try it myself on a few properties and that will give me more insight.

question, if your intentions are to buy a rental property with the smith maneuver, but you also qualify for a new mortgage on an rental property, then there is no benefit to the smith maneuver, is that right?

Great video! Would be curious to see the comparison/argument between the smith Manoeuvre VS. buying a rental with your access equity in your home. With low rates, principal pay down, cash flow & appreciation I'd be curious to see which option is best to maximize your net return.

Great video! Rookie question, if you use this to invest in rental property (not primary residence), how to the capital gains tax implications relate to your overall investment upon selling the property? Is it still worth it?

i wouldnt buy a rental with a smith manouvres. by dividend paying stocks.the smith manouvre strategy requires extensive work in tracking down your transactions for tax purpose. you dont want to add a hustle of managing a rental property

Does this only work for rental properties and not on your principal residence witht the basement being rented?

Hi Darren I have questions for you. Can I take that same procedure under cooperation company or just it work for principle property?

Does this only work in a low interest environment? If interest paid on HELOC is higher than portfolio growth, i assume this strategy falls apart?

Hi my question is what if HELOC interest is more than mortgage interest still does it make sense lower mortgage and making line of credit high?

Hello, thanks for the great video!! I have a couple questions: - how do you know that the first interest payment (at the end of the month) on the heloc is going to be fully covered by the second principal payment and so forth? -If i make a lump sum payment, how do i reajust the interest for my HELOC? -when the mortgage is completely paid off and i want to take out my money from the un registered account, there are going to be taxes that have to be paid for capital gains?

Hey Theo, I think it would be best for you to read Robinson's book or connect with a Smith Manoeuvre specialist to answer these questions for you. I'm not an expert with this strategy and would hate to give you the wrong information. Go to www.smithman.net for more into.

1) check the amortization table which in all cases shows that principal portion grows over time so the bank makes its profit first (interest takes priority over principal) -- every following payment has an increasing portion of principal (vs interest). 2) unclear wording but will try to answer -- your lump sum payment pays down principal and increases your LOC limit -- your reinvestment of that new room increases the balance owing -- your LOC statement should show interest payments charged -- your accountant could use such line entries to confirm the summary total on an annual/quarterly statement. At tax time you'll use your LOC statement/s to see how much interest was charged/paid and should go on your tax return. 3) Yes but cap gains are taxed with a 50% exemption then you apply your applicable personal tax rates... is your self-directed TFSA full? Use that.

Got the honda payment out of the way guys!

What about the tax paid on the investment income? Is it factored in the final net worth improvement? It doesn't take a lot to exhaust one's RRSP amd TFSA contribution limit.

Most people have no money saved at all. Best case they'll have a few hundred dollars in their savings account and keep withdrawing it. This is a way to start investing immediately while converting your mortgage into a tax deduction. The income from the non registered investments do add to your income so you do need to deduct that from the return. This is money that you wouldn't have otherwise and shouldn't impact your cashflow. For your RRSP, making a contribution will help reduce your tax burden on the income being earned and your TFSA can be used as well for a rainy day fund.

Excellent video. What kind of investments you would buy in margin account that generate 7% consistently as shown in his calculator demo , once you have principle available by making mortgage payment .

Are you familiar with the mortgage lending company First National? That's who I am currently using. They only offer something called a 'home equity secured credit card'. It has a credit limit of up to $150,000, and the set up fee for it is 2% of the credit limit amount. To anyone familiar with this, can it be used successfully with the Smith Manoeuvre?

is this line of credit HELOC?

This Smith Maneuver strategy is so cool and tempted to apply on my new rental property mortgage. Let me give an example as below: My property value - $800,000 Mortgage amount - $600,000 Now I have $40,000 in HELOC ($800,000*80% - $600,000). Can i use this Heloc money for increase frequency of my Monthly mortgage to weekly mortgage with double payment and $20,000 annual prepayment without investing on any high interest investment? Based upon above scenario, I will get some tax refund based on the Heloc interest and also # of mortgage years will come down faster. Is it works with Smith Maneuver strategy and save money in the long run ?

Cool!!!!

Is there are source you can recommend. I am confused. I though he said pay down the principle with the tax refund. However, then he seemed to be describing paying principle with principle. I apologize if this is a dumb question. I was just a bit confused. Can you clarify? I see the presenter has a much longer video based on the Smith Manoeuver. I'll watch that in the meantime. Hopefully I get some clarity. If you have any insights I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. Say I make a prepayment of $2K from my rental income to my mortgage on my principal residence, I then I take the full $2K from the HELOC (re-advanceable loc) and pay the mortgage on the rental property? Or do I take $2K minus the interest and pay for the mortgage for the rental property? If the latter is true, then I have to come up with my own money to pay the difference, correct? Thanks

You have to have accumulated equity in your home of 20%. So if you put 5% down you would need to get a property appraisal and see if you can get another 15% equity on your property. You would have to purchase the property 15% less in market value if possible.

@@DarrenVoros See if Robinson can come back on and revisit this with you. It would be really valuable and interesting. I went through the book and was really interested to implement this but I also pre-calculated a few simple variables like interests rate changes. The answers concerned me. Now we're seeing changes from multiple angles so I wonder how resilient the Smith Manoeuvre is in these conditions. I suspect that only Robinson can answer that. I believe the system weathered this in the past under his dad's watch so there must be some empirical insight into this. Thanks Darren!

Also when he says invest, does he mean to just put the money right back to the mortgage payment, allowing for a tax deduction? Someone please answer, thank you 👍👍 Trump1 lgBfJB

Right!

This scheme is not that easy as he makes it sound. Federal Tax law in Canada requires qualification to four criteria in order for the interest on a loan to be deductible. 1) the borrowed cash must be used to generate income (capital gain from appreciation of a security/share does not qualify as business income). 2) interest must be paid in the same year as the deduction claim (except Quebec where interest deduction can not be greater than the business income for the year but allows unused interest for arrear or future years). 3) legal obligation to pay interest at arms length. 4) interest charge must be reasonable and according to the day’s market. So to sum it up interest deduction of borrowing money to invest into securities/stocks market on the income tax would only work if the securities/stocks pay interest/dividends. Or maybe doing day trading. A capital gain on stocks sell off does not meet the business income criteria.

@virajdance

rebuttal to 1) actually capital gains is *personal* income but it's passive *businesss* income, not active *business* income and the example is meant for **personal** income not within a corporate structure (which theoretically could deduct interest portion of mortgage payments as well as the interest from investment loan).
