Burlington Client Refinance Made Sense Even After Prepayment Penalty
A single Burlington client had a first mortgage at a very high rate and a car loan with a high monthly payment. He approached us for a solution. We reviewed the full file, calculated his mortgage prepayment penalty, and compared that penalty against the potential savings from refinancing into a substantially lower-rate mortgage. We also included the benefit of paying off the high-payment car loan through the refinance. After discussing the numbers with him, we concluded that breaking the existing mortgage made sense despite the penalty because the new mortgage reduced interest cost and the car loan payout improved monthly cash flow further.
