What is Smith Maneuver
The Smith Maneuver is a financial strategy named after its creator, Fraser Smith. It involves converting your mortgage into a tax-deductible investment loan, allowing you to use your home's equity to invest in income-generating assets such as stocks, bonds, or real estate. By turning your non-deductible mortgage into a tax-deductible investment loan, you can effectively lower your overall tax burden and potentially increase your investment returns.
How it Works
The Smith Maneuver works by setting up a readvanceable mortgage and a secured line of credit (LOC) against the increased equity in your home. As you make mortgage payments, the LOC limit increases, providing you with access to additional funds. These funds can be used to invest in income-generating assets, which can further enhance your financial growth.
