    Hi Rob. Great interview. Just wondering, do you have info on the "ideas" criteria you mentioned for determining if a variable mortgage is a good choice? Thanks

    Thanks guys!

    Thomas, IDEAS stands for:

    Income
    Debt ratio
    Equity
    Assets
    Satisfaction with risk

    These are some of the things we evaluate when gauging whether someone is cut out for a variable-rate mortgage.

    Cheers,
