Is your mortgage up for renewal? Feeling like you’re about to go from “Netflix and chill” to “mortgage rates and bills”? You’re not alone! With interest rates doing their best roller coaster impression, many homeowners are breaking into a cold sweat at renewal time. Let’s break down how to handle this financial plot twist without losing your sanity (or your house).
You know that renewal letter from your bank? The one suggesting you just “sign here” to continue your beautiful mortgage relationship? It’s about as trustworthy as your ex saying “let’s just be friends.” Sure, it’s convenient, but convenience comes at a price – and these days, that price could fund a small island nation.

4. Slim down your mortgage
Want to make those higher rates hurt less? Put your mortgage on a diet! Make prepayments while you can – it’s like going to the gym for your mortgage, but way less sweaty. I’ll help you review your contract so you don’t trigger any penalties (because mortgage penalties are even less fun than actual gym penalties).
