Ah, February, when our thoughts turn to the ones we love, and our need to put some money into our RRSPs.

One of the best ways we can take care of our spouses and families is to take advantage of the long-term profit potential that can come from being invested in a solid real estate market.

Young couples dream of getting into the real estate market, partly because it’s a symbol of commitment and a prosperous future together.

Plus, it’s nice to have a secure roof over your head and a nice home to raise a family in.

 So as you cosy up to your beloved this Valentine’s Day, think of how buying real estate together, or ‘trading up’ to improve your home, is one of the best ways of saying a mutual “I love you.”

Once you’ve paid for the four-course meal, roses, or chocolates, it’s time to think about pulling together some cash for your RRSP investment, because the deadline is looming!

With today’s low interest rates, it might make sense to consolidate your debts and re-mortgage in order to free up some cash to invest in your retirement savings. You may be able to use the tax refund you get to pay down your mortage and it’s always a good idea to save for the future.

Whether you’re investing in real estate for the first time, or re-mortgaging or renovating, Entrust Mortgage Brokers can help you get the best rate. Take advantage of record-low interest rates now.

And hop over to Facebook and ‘like’ our Entrust Mortgage Facebook page before February 11. We’re giving away an Undine’s spa experience for you or your sweetie! Wouldn’t that make the ultimate Valentine’s gift?
