My husband is a realtor - he said that you would pay capital gains on only the amount it goes up from when you move out to when you sell. So, if you move out tomorrow, and sell in 2 years... if market value changes in that time and your unit is worth '40,000 more' in that time... you pay tax only on that amount, not the total. Hope that makes sense.

[@allisondouglas8581]

Come visit Ottawa! We get Canada rap, but it’s a big city with a small town feel 😊

[@alicmschons]

You and your friends look sooo good! ARM GOALS 🩶😌💪🏻

Such a cute trip!

[@meganclarke5384]

As far as I understand you will pay a capital gains tax if you rent out your primary residence. That being said, the penalty on breaking your mortgage term is usually not a small fee either. I would definitely talk to an accountant to find the best option for you.

I LOVE the green nails 💚

[@allisondouglas8581]

Hope you enjoyed Ottawa! I love it here 😊

[@CarolynK33]

Your friends seem a lot of fun! ❤

[@jessicamduncann]

You have to pay a penalty to get out of your mortgage regardless of if it’s fixed or variable. We were on a 5 year variable, sold at like 3 years and had to pay like $3k mortgage penalty 🤷🏻‍♀️we made so much money it didn’t phase me. But I definitely wouldn’t want to pay capital gains!

[@karenhothi1520]

If it’s fixed the penalty amount is a lot more than variable, so yes variable is the wiser option if your thinking of selling

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Love this one!❤

[@M11689]

Giant tiger is in Nova Scotia too

[@sana7777aloul]

If this is your first property you should have to pay capital gains. You can always move back in before selling it

[@ursulaleonowicz2744]

You would need to own a second property for your primary residence to be considered an investment property. But don't quote me on that. lol.

[@lisahoelke9928]

If you rent it then decide to sell, you would have to go back and live in it for one year in order to avoid the capital gains tax then sell

[@marccolomayt82094]

[@B311A_]

variable and fixed are the interest rate, the term is the length of the contract; you could have been on a three year term and variable rate and still have to pay to break the mortgage contract; you should have gone on an open mortgage for a term but the rate would be high (obviously you didn’t know you were moving then). When I was selling it was 9% rate for a 6 month open term through national bank, I was in a pinch with a job move so didn’t have time to shop rates. I never understood it when I first bought but I hate paying interest without an exit plan so decided either to hate it and avoid understanding it or to learn it to stop paying more money to things I never see 😂

[@sana7777aloul]

The Arabic music in your Uber 😂 love it

[@user-jk5yt4qz9m]

Call the CRA. If you move back into your apartment for one year before selling, I believe you do not owe Capital Gains Tax. But things change- always go to the source regarding taxes, not opinions on the internet.

[@brittanysime7929]

can you share what you do for your skin?

[@rockymtmal]

Good vlog. good life.
