and Fiction about Payment Holidays"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With everything going on in the world today, it would be nice to believe that the banks and governments would allow Canadians to take a break from paying bills, however, this is simply not true. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The government of Canada, in the midst of this Covid-19 outbreak, has made recommendations to Banks and Financial institutions. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Part of these recommendations is to allow customers to have up to six months of deferred mortgage payments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Isabelle Forand, a TD Branch Manager, confirmed this yesterday during The Real Estate Show that customers were able to defer payments up to 6 months. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Many banks have jumped on the bandwagon and have agreed to accommodate this request from the government, however, they are not obligated to follow these guidelines. <\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsonthego.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(If you did not catch the segment you can watch it again here.)\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Before we get a little deeper into the subject, let&#8217;s analyze what it means to take a payment holiday. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In most cases, the holiday just means that you are deferring that payment to a later date and it needs to be made up. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As well, in many cases, it is only the capital portion of the payment that is to be deferred and not the interest portion. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This means that although your mortgage payment will be reduced it will not be eliminated. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is ONLY recommended to take a holiday from a mortgage payment if you have a serious financial need to do so. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Otherwise, you can find yourself having to deal with much higher payments in the future that would be making up for what you missed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What does North East recommend?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you feel like you have been struggling with debts and payments, it is advisable to consider revisiting the mortgage and debts that you have and attempt to consolidate them into one smaller more manageable payment. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this way, you can free up your cash flow for this time of need.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Here is an example of a recent case we had that translated to over $ 1,500 of savings for the customer monthly<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The client came in with a mortgage balance of approximately $ 220,000. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">His monthly payments on the mortgage were $ 1249. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He had accumulated over $ 50,000 of toxic debt that was used to do household renovations and the payments on his debts were in excess of $ 1500 per month.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">After analyzing the situation we were able to refinance the client at a much lower rate then what he had with his existing mortgage. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">His rate dropped by .65%. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">which translated to a new mortgage in the amount of $ 280,000 and his new monthly payment dropped down to $ 1,124.71 per month. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">His monthly savings were $ 1,715.09<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The savings per month are being used now by the customer to rebuild cash reserves and grow his RRSPs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What if I can not refinance my mortgage?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you feel that you can benefit from a payment holiday on your mortgage, we would recommend that you reach out to us or your financial institution directly to see if they can put one in place for you. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Please remember, in this time of craziness, the banks and brokerages are operating on skeleton crews and such wait times can be longer than normal. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Be patient and you will be served by them. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you happened to fall on a representative that tells you that you can not get a holiday, ask to speak with his supervisor or manager. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Many times, some representatives are mistaken and it can be a frustrating time for them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Another option that you can do is if you are currently paying your mortgage bi-weekly or semi-monthly you might find it easier to move to monthly payments, which can help you reduce the load a bit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I heard that banks are being forced to give a holiday by the government?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this time of global connectivity, sometimes information from other countries is accepted as local information. This is again not true. In Europe, governments have imposed rules that the banks must follow, including forcing them to give 3 to 6 month holidays on all mortgage payments. The Canadian government has not done this as of yet. In North America, mortgages are structured very differently than how they are set up in Europe. Making a move like this would require massive bailouts from the government. Mortgages in Canada and the US rely on a complex system of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS). An MBS is a fixed-rate investment that gives the investor an interest in a pool of many mortgages. As well, usually, an MBS is CMHC backed and as such, the money is typically protected and is fully guaranteed. If customers were to not pay mortgages, this would lead to the underperformance of the MBS. This would almost guarantee the collapse of the MBS. We have seen something like this occur in the recent past when we saw the US suffer massive issues when people could not make mortgage payments. They called the vehicle a Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) and although it is a little different, it is fundamentally the same thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Should I ask for a holiday or not?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For those of you who know me, I am the eternal optimist. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I truly believe that all of this will blow over in a few weeks and we will start to see a semblance of normality in a short while. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, no one knows what tomorrow holds for any of us. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The system that we are in right now is very fragile and many self-centered individuals will try and take advantage of it including asking for Employment Insurance and payment holidays from the banks even if they have not been affected by the crisis financially as of yet. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As a member of the human race, I ask you to use the resources that you need and not to try and take advantage of a fragile system. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you do, we might all end up in a world of hurt from this crisis and it can turn into something worse than what it could have been.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As always please feel free to reach out to us if you require anything at all. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Our number at the office is <\/span><\/span><a href=\"\/?page_id=16281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">514-680-4674 and our email is info@nordest.ca<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Please share this with friends and family and those who can benefit from the information that it contains.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Stay safe,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Terry Kilakos<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With everything going on in the world today, it would be nice to believe that the banks and governments would [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[40,19,23,43,35,62,63,20,54,52,56,42,65],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan.jpg",750,420,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan-300x168.jpg",300,168,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan.jpg",750,420,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan.jpg",750,420,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan.jpg",750,420,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan.jpg",750,420,false],"post-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan-150x84.jpg",150,84,true],"melissa-img-706-471":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan-706x395.jpg",706,395,true],"melissa-img-706-auto":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan-706x395.jpg",706,395,true],"melissa-img-1200-auto":["https:\/\/www.nordest.ca\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Payment-Holiday-on-a-Short-Term-Loan.jpg",750,420,false]},"post_excerpt_stackable":"<p>With everything going on in the world today, it would be nice to believe that the banks and governments would allow Canadians to take a break from paying bills, however, this is simply not true.
