Looking to buy condo:

$80k cash

No debt
If I want to pay the minimum down payment required for a condo between $500k-999k (5% of the first $500k of the purchase price, 10% for the portion of the purchase price above $500k), what is the most I can borrow and what are my options for variable/fixed rates?

Looking to extract the maximum amount of capital to re-invest and need advice.

Target property is a duplex being bought for investment purposes in Qc
Purchase price is 205,000$
Chartered appraiser has valued at 265,000$
Seller offers a loan of 110,000$ @ 0% interest over 17 months, guaranteed by a second rank mortgage wherein the first mortgage will not exceed 265,000$
Tenants have agreed to terminate their leases in 6 months. I will therefore be able to significantly increase the rental income.

I have 95,000$ cash and able to buy without a bank, but I have another excellent investment opportunity for which I need the maximum capital.

How would you finance to extract the most liquidity. Is there any way to get a mortgage for 265,000$ wherein I keep the 110,000$ offered by the sellers?

Can I get the best available rates please? (fixed / variable, possibly with a HELOC to reinvest in index based ETF)

Have rates dropped recently?

I have 5 years fixed at 1.6% with 30 years amortization locked in. It's for a house just above 1M with 20% down, onwer occupied, Jan 8th closing.

With the interest rates being so low, I am thinking about a re-finance. I had an initial conversation and was told the penalties are really high (about $25,000) but the interest rate savings are substantial (3.05% now). We are aggressively trying to pay this down.

You would save about 5000 over the remaining term (3.5 years) by switching to 1.49% fixed 5-year. But you will need to pay the entire penalty out of pocket (expect $3000 which can be included into the mortgage). PM me your email id and I can send you a detailed analysis.

Thanks Neil - i'll send you a PM. I calculated a greater savings because I am further along on the amortization and it would be great to get your analysis. Thanks again.
