Mortgage Calculators

When you want to buy a property, whether it's an apartment, condo, townhouse, or house, if you are not able to pay for it in full, then you need to borrow monetary loans. A mortgage is a loan that you borrow from financial institutes to cover the cost of the property you want to purchase, and it is usually paid in installments over a set period of time. The concept is no different than any other loans out there where you are expected to pay interest on top of the principal (amount you want to borrow) over time.

Rent or Buy?

This is a common question to ask. Owning a property will give you a sense of accomplishment and financial security, but it may not be a positive investment all the time. The net value of your investment into your property depends on a couple of major factors - down payment, mortgage loan sum, mortgage interest rate, home inflation and home value cap. And also affected by some small factors such as property tax, insurance, and PMI.

Renting is giving money away. However, it's a different story when you have cash available to invest into ETF, Mutual Funds, RRSP, Stocks...etc. where with enough growth and initial deposit in investment, the overall gain can easily overcome the growth of property inflation, resulting in higher net gain. With that said, there are more risks involved in investing into stocks and mutual funds as compared to home inflation.

Rent vs. Buy Calculator

Use our Rent vs. Buy calculator on the right to see a detailed comparison report on buying and renting based on your current financial standings. Here is a general rule of thumb:

• If you don't have cash available, buying is usually better than renting since you get to keep a portion of your investment. However, it would be negative investment for both scenarios.
• If you have cash available, but don't know anything about investing or don't know anyone who can help you with investing, buying is usually better than renting since you also get to keep a portion of your investment. However, the net value of your total investment, whether if it will be positive or negative, depends on the amount of down payment you put in.
• If you have cash available, and know how to invest or know someone who can help you with investing, use the Rent vs. Buy calculator on the right to see which is better for you.
