Save Thousands off of your – IRD Discharge – IRD Penalty - IRD Settlement Ird discharge Fee Reduction, save on your IRD

 

What the banks don’t want you to know…..

Hidden Money!

Hidden Money!

 

  • The majority of the B lenders that I have come across do not permit this option and perhaps it’s a time for a change, might I suggest TD CanadaTrust :)

 

 

  • - Most major lending institutions allow a yearly pre-payment allowance on fixed/closed term mortgages. BMO allows up to 8% of the mortgage to be repaid, RBC allows 10% to be repaid and TD CanadaTrust allows 15% per year to be paid down.
  • - Verify from your lender that this is on the ORIGINAL MORTGAGE AMOUNT. If you don’t and you have been aggressively paying down your mortgage using some of my other tips you will be burning those extra payments in seconds. For example;

 

Original mortgage amount               = $125,000

Current mortgage after two years    = $ 115,000

15% pay down on current balance   = $  17,250

15% pay down on original balance = $  18,750

 

 

                                            

Sample IRD Penalty Reduction and I mean sample/example/for discussion only/subject to change so please no fan mail

 

Original mortgage amount = $125,000Current mortgage amount = $115,0005 year fixed term 5.94%    - 3 ½ years remain-

 

IRD Before TDDave               $4, 687

 

IRD After    TDDave             $3,450

 

 

 

 

 

It is free, quick and painless. You must have access to the capital to pay down the amount, even using a LOC for the few days will cost you a fraction of the money you will save.

    ***Another Trick****
    Beside paying lump sum payment to reduce your penalty, there is another trick that worked with TD which reduced my penalty by 8-9%
    Before discharging the mortgage, request to change the payment period to weekly payment and double the payment amount. Even if you didn’t really paid the mortgage amount, this will reduce the calculated interest that the bank would get during the remaining period, and this will reduce your IRD.
    Just make sure the request the information statement about your new calculated IRD, some bank staff refuse to give it to you and others don’t mind.
