Thank you!

1.54% 5-year fixed and 1.40% 5-year variable.

I wouldn’t overlook variable.

Or are you saying don't take that 'specific' early renewal offer of 1.84%? <- If so I understand and that's clearer.

His renewal date is only 3-4 months away. He can transfer penalty free at that time and get a much better rate.

Hi,

I bought a duplex (205k) with cash (95k) + a vendor take back (110k) that is to be repaid in 14 months. The duplex was valued at 265k last summer.

I'd like to finance that duplex to gather money for a down payment on another property. The vendor agreed to a subordination of their mortgage whereby the first mortgage could cover up to 100% of the value.

Is there any way that I can can a lender to finance based on the full value without having to pay back the vendor take back?

Thanks!

Just wanted to note these recent threads on RFD real estate section:

banks-mortgage-high-pre-payment-penalti ... m-2439647/

scotiabank-lying-penalty-break-mortgage-2430512/

2 things these threads bring to light:

1-IRD penalty can be massive. With variable rates, penalties are capped at 3 months of interest. Given variable rates are super low right now (1.25% - 1.30%), will likely remain low due to COVID, and the penalty is capped at 3 months interest, variable rates should still be considered super attractive.
2-Bank penalties are brutal. The IRD penalty banks use is much more harsh than fair penalty lenders (hence the term "fair penalty lender"). Do consider this when choosing a bank or credit union for your mortgage.

I feel bad for the OPs of these threads. But they did choose a 5-year fixed rate with a bank.

May I know which lender is offering these crazy low 1.3-1.4ish rates? The best rate I can get from big 5 banks is 1.65+....

None of the brokers will post the lenders' name on a public forum. The rates we post are promos and bought down. Most of the rates we post you won't get from the lender directly, so we can get a bit of hot water if we post the lenders name publicly.

The last thing we want is to get cut off by a certain lender for publically posting "unpublished promos". This thread receives a TON of traffic. Hope readers understand.

PM one of the brokers here.
