Key Takeaways: Bank of Canada has lowered its benchmark rate by .50 per cent this morning. Single biggest rate cut since emergency measures were taken four years ago! What does it mean for variable rates? What for fixed rate? For homeowners with variable-rate mortgages, lower interest rates and smaller monthly payments? People with home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and personal lines of credit, will rejoice. Experts suggest the central bank's policy rate could fall 1.75 per cent over the year. Which would bring it to 2.5 per cent. By next summer other bankers say 2.7-3 per cent. So prime rate will drop to 5.95 per cent. What about variable? Why are fixed rates going up?

Key Takeaways: Understand the JV Agreement Thoroughly. Your joint venture agreement is the foundation of your partnership. Must understand every clause, especially around roles, responsibilities, and exit strategies. The most important element is the deal itself. A solid, profitable deal will naturally attract money and partners. Don’t rush the partnership—make sure the deal is right. If you have a strong deal, finding financing or partners is much easier. Investors are always looking for secure, profitable ventures. Put Everything in Writing and Get Legal Advice. Verbal agreements aren't enough. Ensure everything is clearly documented and have it reviewed by independent legal advisors to protect your interests. Solve Key Issues Before You Sign.
