Fixed or Variable-Rate Mortgage? If you are rate shopping, you’ll notice that the lowest available rate will be for a variable mortgage, which is why I’m often asked “what does variable mean and how is it different from a fixed-rate mortgage?” With a variable mortgage, your mortgage rate will move in conjunction with your lender’s Prime lending rate, which in turn tracks the Bank of Canada’s benchmark rate, and will typically be quoted as Prime minus a specified percentage. I t can be difficult to predict our economic future so  you won’t know for sure what kind of rate ups and downs might be ahead of you. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your payments are fixed for the term of the mortgage, which offers stability. Fixed-rates are usually better suited to first-time buyers or those who haven’t owned a home for a very long period. Ask yourself these questions: Do you like or need to know exactly what your payment is going to be over a longer period of time? Do you want to avoid the...

 Private mortgage lenders serve as an alternative funding source, usually for borrowers who are unable to secure traditional loans. Borrowers may opt for private mortgage lenders due to the following reasons: 📌 Poor credit - Private lenders are more flexible than traditional lenders and willing to work with borrowers who have a low credit score or a history of missed payments. 📌 Self-employed or possess an irregular income - Private lenders can be more accommodating as they consider criteria such as the property's potential value. 📌 Individuals seeking short-term loans - Private lenders offer short repayment periods, making them a viable option for those anticipating the arrival of other funds, such as a bonus, inheritance, or proceeds from a house flip. If you have any inquiries or believe that a private mortgage is a suitable solution for you, reach out for more information. https://www.mortgagewithmatt.ca/

 Carole Jean McAlpine (nee Bowyer) passed away peacefully on February 14, 2024 at the Rotary Hospice in Stratford, Ontario with her loving husband John, of 59 years, by her side.

Carole was born in Walsall, England. She emigrated to Canada with her parents in 1957 at the age of 12 and lived in Burlington, Ontario for most of her life. After high school she studied to be a nurse and worked at Joseph Brant Hospital as well as with the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) as a traveling nurse, until her retirement. When she wasn’t nursing, she helped run her family’s craft store for many years, called “Do Your Own Thing,” where she acquired a love for many...

Title: Exploring the Surprising Benefits of Cannabis for Digestion Paragraph 1: Cannabis, a plant known for its mind-altering effects, has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential health benefits. While its association with relaxation and pain relief is widely recognized, its positive impact on digestion is a lesser-known aspect. Research suggests that cannabis can play a beneficial role in supporting a healthy digestive system. Cannabinoids, the chemical compounds found in cannabis, interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which regulates various physiological processes, including digestion. These interactions can lead to a range of benefits, such as reducing inflammation, alleviating gastrointestinal disorders, improving appetite, and relieving symptoms associated with nausea and vomiting. Paragraph 2: One of the primary ways cannabis aids digestion is by reducing inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Conditions like Crohn's disease, irrita...

Your credit score is a number between 300-900 that the credit bureaus calculate. In Canada, we have two credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion. Your score indicates how responsible you are with credit and the likelihood you’ll repay it. Scores above 660 show you can manage credit well, and a lender should feel comfortable letting you borrow money at a competitive rate. Below is a list of factors that impact your credit score: 📌 The length of time you’ve had credit 📌 If you carry a balance on your credit cards 📌 If you frequently miss payments 📌 How much debt you currently have 📌 How much credit you use out of the total amount available to you 📌 If you’ve ever filed for bankruptcy 📌 If any of your debts have ever been sent to collections https://www.mortgagewithmatt.ca/
