I have a mortgage up for renewal on a rental property, which if the market ticks up, I'd like to sell (within a year would be great, but realistically I know it could be in 2 or 3). Does the formula for breaking the mortgage change if going from 5 years to 1 year, in order to minimize the break fee?

My 5 year formula is standard I believe (greater of 3 months interest or the interest rate differential calculation).

The penalty will depend on the lender as well... who is your current lender?

If you would like to PM me the following details, I can give you some options to consider and idea of potential penalties.
- Lender
- Mortgage Balance
- Remaining Amortization

This will give me a little bit of info to be able to better answer. I can also call if you would like to PM your number? Cheers Tim
