    The Cash Damming Redirect: 3 Alternative Options for Maximizing Returns

    ByTeam Breaking Bank

    If you’re using cash damming with your rental property, you already know how powerful the strategy can be. By paying expenses through a HELOC and deducting the interest, you generate a sizeable tax refund each year. Traditionally, that refund gets applied straight to the mortgage on your primary residence, helping you pay it off faster and reduce your overall interest costs. It’s a solid, no-frills move, and makes a lot of sense. But that’s not the only path forward. Depending on your financial priorities, there may be more strategic ways to put that refund to work. Here are three alternative options worth considering. 1. Pay Down Consumer Debt If you’re carrying credit card balances, personal loans, or other high-interest debt, using your refund to eliminate those obligations can offer a stronger short-term return than paying down your mortgage. It also improves your monthly cash flow, giving you more flexibility with your budget or room to invest elsewhere. This move clears the way for you to free up valuable cash flow and tackle your next financial goals. 2. Invest in the Market Once high-interest debt is behind you, your refund can become the fuel for long-term wealth. Rather than leaving that cash idle or reducing low-interest debt, consider reallocating it to market investments that grow over time. Even modest, recurring contributions made consistently each year can meaningfully improve your net worth over a 10 to 20 year horizon. It’s less about making big bets and more about establishing a habit of reinvesting tax savings into productive assets. 3. Fund a Life Insurance Strategy Putting your refund toward a permanent life insurance policy can provide more than just a death benefit. Over time, these policies can accumulate tax-advantaged cash value, which can later be used to supplement retirement income, cover future tax liabilities, or serve as a low-cost borrowing source. It’s a way to convert your annual tax refund into a long-term financial tool that grows quietly in the background, while also protecting your family’s future. The earlier you start, the more efficient and flexible the strategy becomes. Final Thoughts Choosing to redirect your tax refund away from the mortgage isn’t about doing things right or wrong. It’s about making choices that reflect your current financial priorities and long-term goals. At the core of this is the rental cash damming strategy itself. By optimizing your cash flow for maximum tax efficiency, you unlock a source of capital that wouldn’t otherwise exist — a refund that can be used strategically to generate even greater financial gains. Whether it’s paying off debt, investing for the future, or building long-term insurance value, that refund becomes a tool, not just a rebate. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. The best approach is the one that aligns with your goals, your cash flow, and the kind of financial life you’re trying to build.

    ‘Don’t always go up’: Bulk of Metro Vancouver presale condos sold in 2022 and 2023 now appraised below original price

    ByJoanne Lee-Young

Photo by Arlen Redekop /PNG Article content Thousands of presale buyers in Metro Vancouver face completing their purchase of condos that are now worth less than they were in 2022 and 2023 when they signed the contracts to buy them.

Article content As a result, lenders will only write smaller mortgages. That means condo buyers have to satisfy lenders by ponying up the difference between the unit’s value in 2022 or 2023 and what it is worth now, either by putting in more cash or refinancing. Article content Article content A Vancouver appraiser who works with banks, law firms and mortgage brokers is raising the alarm because the buildings are now built and developers are trying to finalize sales. Article content By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Article content “Presales don’t always go up. There was that mindset where if it happened before, it’s going to happen again,” said Adam Lawrenson, owner of Vancouver-based Adlaw Appraisals. “I can’t say an exact number, but over half (of appraisals) are now coming in below their sale price.” Article content He estimates condo values have dropped between five and 20 per cent below what buyers originally promised to pay when they put down a non-refundable deposit. Article content That’s one reason why a growing number of buyers are looking to sell these new or barely used properties. This market glut and a lack of demand is helping drive down prices. Article content “You can easily get a brand new unit or a one- or two-year (old) unit at a cheaper price point than these presales, so that comes into play when we are doing our appraisal and looking at current market values.” Article content Article content With sellers dropping prices to speed up sales, that sets a new base for future, lower, appraisals. Article content Article content No area in the Lower Mainland is immune, but there are some buildings and areas that are more susceptible to having units “being underwater.” Article content There are “areas of Langley that got overbuilt and developers were leaving them vacant for six to 12 months, in hopes the market would turn around. But you can only hold for so long before you have to start selling them,” Lawrenson said. Article content There are also a few buildings in north Burnaby where presale buyers are now looking to get rid of units as soon as they close their sale. Some have 30 listings of one-bedroom apartments. Article content There are also some higher-end buildings in downtown Vancouver, such as The Butterfly on Nelson Street, with presale units that sold at presale for over $2 million. Some of these have appraisals that are now down $300,000 to $500,000 from their original prices, said Lawrenson. Article content According to research by Rennie Intelligence, which does marketing for major developers, investors made up around half of all buyers in the years between 2021 to 2023.
