Cashback Mortgage

How a Cash Back mortgage works?

Cash Back Mortgage is for those who are looking to get a home loan with extra funds upfront. The way it works is the lender will charge you a little bit higher of an interest rate than you would receive with a regular mortgage product and once you close on your loan your lender will give you a cheque for the cash back amount. The cashback amount is included in your mortgage payment and you will contribute to paying you’re your cashback amount with every mortgage payment you make. The options are usually to take a 1%, 2%, 3% or 5% “cash back” on your mortgage. For example if you need a $200,000 mortgage and the lender gives you 3% cash back, then they will give you $6,000 upfront when closing.

With the money you can use it for whatever you like you can pay off your high interest credit cards, use the money for renovations or cover your closing costs on your purchase.
