Your mortgage isn’t just a loan — it’s a powerful financial tool. The right strategy can lower your payments, maximize tax benefits, and accelerate your wealth-building journey.
Mortgage Rate Buy Down Strategy
A mortgage rate buy-down is a strategy where the seller contributes funds to lower your interest rate for a fixed period, reducing your mortgage payments and helping you qualify for a larger mortgage.
How It Works
- The buy-down must be negotiated into the terms of your offer when purchasing a home.
- This approach can have a greater impact on lowering payments than negotiating a lower purchase price in the short term
- Lenders have specific guidelines that must be followed to implement this strategy.
“This strategy could be the key to affording your dream home while keeping payments manageable.”

These strategies are powerful but must be implemented correctly to avoid tax penalties, lender restrictions, or unnecessary financial risks. Each lender and the CRA have specific rules regarding tax-deductible mortgages, refinancing, and interest deductions. A poorly executed strategy could result in unexpected costs or disallowed deductions.
Before implementing any mortgage or tax strategy, consult a mortgage professional, financial advisor, and tax specialist to ensure compliance with current regulations and your personal financial situation.
