The Burn Your Mortgage Podcast
Business:Investing
Robinson Smith, financial strategist and author, reveals how Canadians can mitigate the challenges that homeowners face in raising their families, raising their net worth and raising their level of financial security in the face of rising costs of life.
Robinson, a consultant with over 15 years in the investment industry, creator of a number of financial educational courses and the author of, “Master Your Mortgage and Retire Ready – The Smith Manoeuvre”, is dedicated to increasing Canadians’ awareness of personal finances.
In my interview with Robinson, we discuss why the Smith Manoeuvre is more relevant than ever before, why should you work with a Smith Manoeuvre Certified Professional (SMCP) mortgage broker instead of doing it yourself, and why home financing has very little to do with the rate.
I recorded this interview with Robinson Smith a while ago. Most of the information is still relevant, but some things have changed. Mortgage rates are no longer as low as they once were. The question I get most often is, does the Smith Manoeuvre still make sense? The answer is a resounding yes. When rates are low, we have more money to invest, but we receive a lower tax refund. When rates are higher like they are right now, we have less to invest, but we receive a higher tax refund, so things even out. Not to mention, with markets down, it’s a great buying opportunity. You’re able to buy solid long-term investments while they’re on sale. These are just a few of the many reasons why the Smith Manoeuvre still makes sense today.
