This B.C. couple should ditch their $1-million rental and invest in dividend stocks to boost retirement cash flow

Family Finance asked Derek Moran, head of Smarter Financial Planning Ltd. in Kelowna, B.C., to work with Sid and Adele.Article contentThe first order of business is what to do with the $43,000 mortgage on the rental. They pay 2.87 per cent or $14,232 per year of which $1,287 is annual interest. This carrying charge is deductible and declining rapidly.

Adele’s tax could rise from $7,659 now to $69,348, a $61,691 increase. She has $75,243 RRSP room and might use all of it to shelter her gain. Doing that would cut her tax by $33,572 to $35,776. Their TFSAs have a present balance of $113,260 composed of contributions and appreciation. They have $45,000 of unused contribution room. They can use their cash for additions. If they continue to work for two more years and add $6,000 each per year and the sum grows at three per cent per year after inflation, their TFSAs will rise to $192,988 on the brink of retirement. That sum will support payout of $9,766 per year to Adele’s age 90.
