Your vacation property may come with a larger tax bill than you expect.

Many Canadians are surprised to learn that when a cottage, cabin, or second property is sold, capital gains tax may significantly reduce the proceeds available to you and your family.

Questions worth considering:
• Is your principal residence exemption being maximized?
• Would transferring the property during your lifetime make sense?
• How will the sale impact your retirement income strategy?
• Have you planned for the tax liability your estate could face?

The best time to plan isn't when you're ready to sell. It's years before.

Strategic planning today can help preserve more of your wealth for tomorrow.

Just because you can pay cash doesn't always mean you should.

Many high-net-worth investors ask whether they should liquidate investments to purchase a second property outright.

The answer isn't always straightforward.

Before writing a cheque, consider:
• The opportunity cost of selling investments
• Tax implications of liquidating assets
• Current borrowing rates
• Cash flow requirements in retirement
• Your overall investment strategy

Sometimes preserving investment capital and maintaining flexibility can create better long-term outcomes than becoming debt-free immediately.

The right answer depends on your unique financial plan.
