As a Canadian mortgage strategist who works closely with homeowners in high income tax brackets, I’ve seen the financial squeeze firsthand. So many clients are juggling demanding careers, raising families, and trying to make smart decisions about their future—yet despite their income, they’re stuck in a cycle of mortgage payments, rising living costs, and missed investment opportunities.
The problem? Traditional advice hasn’t kept up. The old-school “pay off your mortgage, then invest” mentality delays wealth-building by decades and leaves massive tax advantages on the table.
That’s why I became a Smith Manoeuvre Certified Professional™.
This strategy flips the script—allowing homeowners to transform their mortgage into a wealth-building machine without increasing their monthly expenses. It’s a way to reduce bad debt, boost tax refunds, and build an investment portfolio... all at the same time.
I’m passionate about helping Canadians make smarter use of their income. Life is busy, and we don't always have the time to explore alternative strategies—ones that can actually move the needle on our financial future. So, let’s explore what this could look like for your situation.
You don’t need to earn more to build wealth—you just need to think differently about the money you already have.
