Switch and Save

Switch and save thousands if any of the three essential mortgage reduction components haven’t been set up correctly.

1. Interest rate

It is exciting to think that by paying an extra $200 per month off a $330,000 home loan you will reduce the amount of time it takes to pay the loan off by 11 years*. Find out if you can switch and save this amount so that it doesn’t affect your current cashflow.

2. Structure

Every dollar you earn needs to be working against your home loan. Having your income work directly against your home mortgage instead of in a savings account is imperative. Think of it as an investment with a guaranteed return (see the figures below).

A savings account V’s Home loan saving
Savings account rate example = 5%
Tax on savings = 30%
Annual return on income = 3.5%
Home loan rate example = 7%
Tax on savings = 0%
Annual return on income = 7%

This example represents a 100% better return on your money if your money is working against your mortgage as appose to being put in a savings account.

3. Other Peoples Money

If you like the idea of getting double the return on your savings then you need to ensure that you collect as much money as possible to work against your home for as long as possible. For example;

  • Use the banks money to pay all your bills each month by using their credit card.
  • Have all your business and investment turnover sit against your home.
  • In addition to this get the government to pay all tax refunds to you in your pay during the year as appose to waiting until you do your tax return.
