This is so true i paid my bond in 3years and 8months,my bond was 630k paid a deposit of 70k,i would save my bonuses my increase every spare money I gad would go into my 32days notice account and come year end all the money will be paid into my bond account...
Guys just pay in money in the bond account whenever you have extra cash. SA banks do not generally do split payments on bond repayments but you can try asking. Best way pay the bond as agreed and whenever you have extra cash pay it in to your bond. Home loan interest is charged daily and capitalised monthly so the sooner you pay in that extra monies the more you save on the overall interest capitalised at the end of the month.
Yep. That's the way to go. I paid off my first house within 7 years. I bought it at R400,000 in 2009. Now renting it out and I can sell it at R800, 000. My second house which is my primary residence, I got in 2017 and am almost paying off. Bought it at R560, 000. The secret is to put additional funds in whenever you get them.
I totally agree. I can't remember any relevant life lessons from school. Hope this can spread far and wide to educate young adults. Thanks for watching 💪🏻
So true and unfortunately some people make big financial decisions that cost them alot because lack of info and they excited to purchase their first property. I'm very happy I came across this channel and learning as I'm about to make my first investment
As a first time property buyer in 2020, i was lucky, the family was emigrating...property was R2.2M and was able to negotiate to R1.850M and they accepted, i knew they were desperate. I took the R2.2M Bond i got used difference for rennovations to my taste, rented it out in two months after sale and in 3 and half years ive paid it off, as i knew the Intrerest rates will eventually go up and i didnt want to be caught inn that whirlpool. I turned my property into 3 apartments and I make R20K p/m on rentals...Hours is Paid up and i have paid myself back the extra money used towards rennovations. Yes paying off your Bond is Queen😂. Now im ready to buy my next property i can also convert into apartments in the costal area cos everyone loves the sun and the beach Right🤷 It's 10x easier to get renters with costal properties, well that was my experience anyway...Good luck to us all and God Bless❤
Well done, and thanks for sharing. Buying from motivated sellers is the best way to buy property. This makes and saves you a lot of money. Congrats, and thanks for adding value in the comments 💪🏻
The Bi-weekly payment option is definitely underrated. I didn't realize the same bond amount split into 26 fortnightly payments results in such a huge saving! Will definitely be implementing this method 💯. Where can we get the calculator you used showing bi-weekly payments scenario? Haven't come across such a calculator before seems pretty handy
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. You can juost google bi-weekly payment calculator, and you should get a couple of different options. 💪🏻💪🏻
Very informative. Thank you. What happens if I split my monthly bond repayment into 20 payments? Therefore, I'm basically paying my bond every single working day of the month.
In theory, this is great , but the fees will kill you at the end of the day. Unless you want to make a manual payment every day. You will also have to arrange with the bank in some way, which I dont think is possible.
Great and informative video. I do however ask if this video is intended for property investors or the general public? If it's for investors, would it not be better to spend the minimum possible on your property debt as your property investment achieves a higher growth than what you would be saving. i.e the R50k lump sum would achieve a higher return if placed in another property deal if the net profit yield is greater than the prime interest rate.
Its basically focused on people trying to reduce their debt and follow the strategy of paying their properties quicker. If you can beat the interest rate elsewhere it will also make more sense. But most people wont be able too
Sure, check out my property playlist. I made 2 videos about this very long ago. I will consider doing an updated version. Thanks for supporting the channel 💪🏻
Great video - quick question, you may have answered in a previous video, with the access bonds, why do you prefer to keep your term the same and drop your repayments vs paying the same monthly and shortening your term?
I prefer to always have access to the equity without having to pay for it. If you use the first option you effectively pay for the new debt (refinanced amount) without actually using it. Also im young and dont plan to settle my debt any time soon. But this is different for everyone
@3 mins in - not true. If you increase your payment by x amount as an extra payment, the repayment amounts are recalculated over the remaining years left and your pay-in will be less thus making this exercise futile. You would have to look closely at the repayment amount as stipulated by the bank and increase your extra pay-in as the bond amount decreases... Hope this makes sense? In my opinion, the best way is to approach the bank and ask to reduce the remaining term of your bond. This way your repayment increases and if possible an extra few hundred will make a massive difference. This is obviously my experience.
Yes, you are right, but my statement is based on the first access bond option. You can choose between the 2 options depending on your strategy. If you want to reduce your term, you can use the 2nd option. I just dont use the option to reduce my payments because my overall goal is not to settle the debt. But thanks for sharing and adding value to the comments. Appreciate your input 💪🏻
@@louisreynhardt thanks Louis for setting the record straight. When I bought my property more than twenty years ago we didn't even know of this option. However, my wife and I had the same idea and was able to reduce our term to a more manageable eleven years - while still paying a few extra hundred in the middle of each month. It has worked so we managed to buy another property in Cape Town. Love your honest and reliable show - keep it up!
Which access bond option did you use? And what do you mean with it didn't work? This is also something that takes a bit of time to compound . Let me know 💪🏻
Hi Lious, great video. We are learning so much thank you! Is it possible to buy property at an amount lower than its market value, then ask the bank for equity on the difference ? E.g if you bought a house for 1.2 but it’s worth 1.5 then get 300k equity in your access bond ? I hope my question makes sense. If yes could this be used for your benefit to lower the interest you are paying ?
Absolutely, there is just a couple of key points to understand. I made a video about it that will answer your question. ruclips.net/video/P64KVoWqkC4/видео.html
So basically you just created the stop order or scheduled transfer like fnb etc etc instead of doing manual transfers lol. But yeah I think if some people have that in place then they’d commit more towards paying the loan faster as having will power to manually do it could be a tad bit more difficult for some
Bi weekly stop orders yes. They wont allow only manual payments. You need to set up some sort of debit or stop order and additional payments can be made manually
The best option is to never over extend yourself. Pay extra amount to flexi account. Paid my primary residence in 6 years, and it brings so much financial freedom. Keep up the good work.
I would say the once off payment will make an immediate impact, and you can still have access to the lump sum . Just make sure you choose or use the right access bond type
You can effectively setup daily stop orders, but a stop order is usually around R20 per stop order, so it will defeat the purpose. You can make manual payments, but I dont know of anyone that has done it before.
It’s highly possible. I took 60 months bond for R1.3m house with a R200k deposit that we had saved in 2021 and i’m paying R23k monthly instalment instead of R14k that I would have paid for 20 years and today i’m left with 27 Months to finish the bond & regain my freedom. Banks will never propose such alternatives for you and they’re available & doable as Noma mentioned.
Hi Louis, when making extra payments like you mentioned of R500, when in the month is the best time, would it be mid month to act as a bit of a by weekly scenario or should we be making those payments the same time the normal bond debit order goes off
I would say the same day as your debit order so that that amount goes directly to your principal debt, reducing your overall interest. ( You can set up a higher debit order), or you can also do it during the week, but you will have to manually pay or set up a stop order. Tbh im not sure which one will perform the best.
Hi Reynhardt.....I bought a property and I am living in it for about 7 months ......For R680 000 I paid diligently and on time everytime ....if I were to sell the house now ..how much would I owe the bank
@@brandonpypers4747 depends on how much you sell for, if you sell for the same amount you owe then nothing (unless admin fees). If you sell for me than you owe then you make a profit.
I feel its unnecessary, but it's easy to avoid. Just never completely settle the bond. Always have the bond open so you can always access your extra money in your access bond for other investments. Then they won't penalize you. Hope it helps

Hello. I have a question. Will the bank penalize me if i take out a 30year mortgage and pay it off within 15-20 years? Because it almost seems like a cheat code because we're cheating the bank out of earning more interest from us.
No, they won't , not unless you settle the entire bond. I suggest to always keep the access bond facility open for Liquidity. But yes it is a life hack. I always take 30-year bonds. You can pay a 30 year bond in 20 years but you can't pay a 20-year bond in 30 years.
Pleasure my friend. Unfortunately, I do not trade or invest on margin, so I dont have any experience with that. I simply use brokerages like Easy Equities to invest over the medium to long term . Feel free to suggest any video ideas regarding investing in stocks 💪🏻
Thanks for watching 💪🏻 I use "my home loans" It's important that the person helping you understands your excat goals and situation. Try to build a good relationship with that person.
just a question wrt properties, you say you work on the 1% rule? This includes the levies & rates/taxes... does this include Insurance - and could you give the average amount that you spend on property insurance?
The 1% rule is like a simple gross yield. It doesnt include rates and levies etc. Its just a very simple formiula to quickly define goor or bad deals. Property insurance varies depending on the property.
Good day Louis,my name is Miyelani,I tried to call Standard bank to make biweekly payment on my bond and they told me that the system doesn't allow them to change it to biweekly,it only allows monthly payments.please help me in that regard.I have the name and the reference number of my call.
I would suggest going into the bank and speaking to someone in person. You have to state that it will be a stop order every second week instead of saying it's a bi monthly debit order. Make sure you speak to a sharp banker . Goodluck
@@louisreynhardt thanks for the response,I'll go back but what I don't understand is that with my first property I didn't have these issues and it took me 7 years to pay it off with biweekly payments and of cause with a bit of extra cash.
@calmingbabysleep1256 its not relevant to this specific video. Also its only necessary for free hold properties because levies include building insurance. Home goods insurance is a personal expense and does not form part of my investments. Check out some of my other property videos where I do ROI calculations then you will understand.
Not at all, just remember there's no such thing as a stupid question. It simply means you will make payments every second week, reducing daily interest and resulting in 26 weekly payments or 13 monthly payments in a year instead of 12 in a year.
Can you please advice how one can go about notifying the bank on changing payments to daily to cover the interest and bond payments. Am saying dividing the payments to a daily payment. The 500k bond 5K monthly divided to daily payments . Creating an auto payment schedule.
You will have to go and speak to a banker. They won't allow daily payments. You will have to negotiate to set up a bi-weekly stop order. This is different than a debit order. Make sure you have a good and sharp banker to help you.
@@louisreynhardt I had revolving loans... I could pay in whatever I wanted when I wanted... didnt have to discuss anything with my banker... I kept the original loan payment amount and frequency the same and maintained the debit order and added in spare cash when I could.... saved a fortune in interest
Hi, firstly great videos, very insightly, But a question, I am a looking into property investments while i am still young(22) and have a few questions or need some guidance, is there anyway i can reach out to you for some guidance ?
Thanks for watching, and well done for starting at such a young age. You will be miles ahead of others if you continue to learn.

Otherwise, keep on watching free content like this and rrad as much as you can . All the best my friend.
Interest is calculated daily on your outstanding debt. So reducing your debt 2X a month reduces the overall interest. You also end up making 26 weekly payments, which results in 13 monthly payments also reducing your interest. By reducing your overall debt, your interest goes down. Instead of accumulating interest for 30 days , it only accumulates for 15 days, therefore reducing interest charged. You can also google it for a better explanation. Hope this helps.
Hi Louis, thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them. I have a question. You are talking about flexi reserve no1 and no 2. My current loan is no2. My monthly payments stay the same when I put extra capital into my loan. I bank through ABSA. Do you know if it is possible to change it to no1, where my monthly payments will go down and my loan term stays the same? Thank you
Thanks for your comment brother. Yes you should be able to change the option. ( every bank has its own name for these facilities) the one I used as an example was StandardBank. You should be able to simply change the option with your banker.
Great question. Yes, there is a massive difference. Interest is calculated daily, so making payments more often ultimately reduces the interest charged on the principal debt because your debt will reduce every week instead of every month. Thanks for watching 💪🏻
Yes they are. I use it. . You just really need to motivate your reason. You will have to set up stop orders so it won't be a debit order. Make sure you have a sharp banker.
Unfortunately SA banks dont allow this so you will have to negotiate to set up a "stop order" every second week. Make sure you get a smart banker who can help.
Ek het laas jaar ñ video gesien van ñ man wat sê betaal elke dag ñ bedrag op jou huislening. Dit neuk die algoritme blykbaar op en jy betaal minder rente.
Dit kan werk want rente word bereken daagliks. Maar dink net gou aan al die moeite as jy bv. 5 of 10 plekke besit. Ek sou eerder stick met wat ek genoem het in die video. Dankie vir die deel 💪🏻

But yes it is a life hack. I always take 30-year bonds. You can pay a 30 year bond in 20 years but you can't pay a 20-year bond in 30 years.
Hi thank you for your videos. Can you plz make a video on trading hrokers who offer the most amount of margin for trading stocks especially
Pleasure my friend. Unfortunately, I do not trade or invest on margin, so I dont have any experience with that.
I simply use brokerages like Easy Equities to invest over the medium to long term . Feel free to suggest any video ideas regarding investing in stocks 💪🏻
Will paying bi weekly also impact personal loan interest and payment terms.
Great question, Yes, it will absolutely reduce your interest and term. But Im not sure if you can set up these payments with personal loans.
bi-weekly ... twice a week, fortnightly... every 2nd week ?
Every second week, meaning 26 times a year total 💪🏻
Great video. Which bond originator have you had the best success with in South Africa?
Thanks for watching 💪🏻
I use "my home loans"
It's important that the person helping you understands your excat goals and situation. Try to build a good relationship with that person.
just a question wrt properties, you say you work on the 1% rule? This includes the levies & rates/taxes... does this include Insurance - and could you give the average amount that you spend on property insurance?
The 1% rule is like a simple gross yield. It doesnt include rates and levies etc. Its just a very simple formiula to quickly define goor or bad deals. Property insurance varies depending on the property.
Should it not be called WORST BOND THEN
🤣🤣🤣
Good day Louis,my name is Miyelani,I tried to call Standard bank to make biweekly payment on my bond and they told me that the system doesn't allow them to change it to biweekly,it only allows monthly payments.please help me in that regard.I have the name and the reference number of my call.
I would suggest going into the bank and speaking to someone in person. You have to state that it will be a stop order every second week instead of saying it's a bi monthly debit order. Make sure you speak to a sharp banker . Goodluck
@@louisreynhardt thanks for the response,I'll go back but what I don't understand is that with my first property I didn't have these issues and it took me 7 years to pay it off with biweekly payments and of cause with a bit of extra cash.
What about home owners insurance? Ive looked and seen it starts in the thousands of rands. That takes major gains away..
Do you mean home insurance for your goods or insurance for the building or insurance against defaulting or job loss ?
@@louisreynhardt either/ all. This needs to be taken into consideration, surely. How come it was not included? You don't have insurance?
@calmingbabysleep1256 its not relevant to this specific video. Also its only necessary for free hold properties because levies include building insurance. Home goods insurance is a personal expense and does not form part of my investments. Check out some of my other property videos where I do ROI calculations then you will understand.
@@louisreynhardt I will watch them. What insurance do you have?
@@louisreynhardt I'll watch them. What insurance do you have on properties? How much is that?
Not sure if i am slow but how does the Bi-weekly help with cutting down the loan term if i am still paying the same amount? help needed please.
Not at all, just remember there's no such thing as a stupid question.
It simply means you will make payments every second week, reducing daily interest and resulting in 26 weekly payments or 13 monthly payments in a year instead of 12 in a year.
So I must ask them to cancel the debit order and make a stop order ?
Yes effectively. But you just need to make sure you work with a sharp banker so they understand what you want to achieve.
Can you please advice how one can go about notifying the bank on changing payments to daily to cover the interest and bond payments. Am saying dividing the payments to a daily payment. The 500k bond 5K monthly divided to daily payments . Creating an auto payment schedule.
You will have to go and speak to a banker. They won't allow daily payments. You will have to negotiate to set up a bi-weekly stop order. This is different than a debit order. Make sure you have a good and sharp banker to help you.
@@louisreynhardt I had revolving loans... I could pay in whatever I wanted when I wanted... didnt have to discuss anything with my banker... I kept the original loan payment amount and frequency the same and maintained the debit order and added in spare cash when I could.... saved a fortune in interest
Just throw that money in to your bond account whenever

How does the bi-monthly payment strategy work?
I can't see how paying the same amount split in two will cause that affect?
Interest is calculated daily on your outstanding debt. So reducing your debt 2X a month reduces the overall interest. You also end up making 26 weekly payments, which results in 13 monthly payments also reducing your interest. By reducing your overall debt, your interest goes down. Instead of accumulating interest for 30 days , it only accumulates for 15 days, therefore reducing interest charged. You can also google it for a better explanation. Hope this helps.
@@louisreynhardt thank you for the reply!
Hi Louis, thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them. I have a question. You are talking about flexi reserve no1 and no 2. My current loan is no2. My monthly payments stay the same when I put extra capital into my loan. I bank through ABSA. Do you know if it is possible to change it to no1, where my monthly payments will go down and my loan term stays the same? Thank you
Thanks for your comment brother. Yes you should be able to change the option. ( every bank has its own name for these facilities) the one I used as an example was StandardBank. You should be able to simply change the option with your banker.
@@louisreynhardt Thank you for the quick reply. Appreciate it. Excellent channel.
Does it make a difference when you put money in an access bond weekly instead of monthly compared to changing the initial monthly repayment??
Depends on which access bond option you use. But effectively it should make a difference if you lay more than the initial bond amount.
Hi Louis, awesome content, what is the calculators you use, to calculate the savings?
You can just google extra loan payment calculator and look for a South african site ending with co.za
They should do the trick
Is there a difference between 26 biweekly payments and 13 monthly payments?
Great question. Yes, there is a massive difference. Interest is calculated daily, so making payments more often ultimately reduces the interest charged on the principal debt because your debt will reduce every week instead of every month. Thanks for watching 💪🏻
Can the same be done with car finance???
It should be possible but i haven't done it with car fiancee. I dont think Bi weekly payments will be allowed.
can i have the website for the calculator
You can just google extra payment calculator. Let me know if you can't find it.
10min video in 1 sentence = Pay more money monthly & a lump sum to reduce loan term.
You clearly did not watch the whole video.
😂😂😂True.
No need to, saying potato in two different ways, it stays potato@@louisreynhardt Paying R5000 monthly or R2500 bi-weekly is exactly the same thing.
Haha its not the same thing. Interest is calculated daily. Go do the math. Otherwise move a long
1 sentence doesn't make money like a 10 min video and that money can be used to pay down a bond quicker or buy another property..😏
Interesting
💪🏻💪🏻
Please tell us which bank allows you to make bi -weekly payments
I have done it with Standard Bank. But you will need to motivate why you want to do it. Also, it will be stop orders and not a debit order.
Are these bi weekly payments allowed in SA ?
Yes they are. I use it. . You just really need to motivate your reason. You will have to set up stop orders so it won't be a debit order. Make sure you have a sharp banker.
Hi Louis do I do the payments every 2 weeks with a debit order?
Unfortunately SA banks dont allow this so you will have to negotiate to set up a "stop order" every second week. Make sure you get a smart banker who can help.
Quite young😮 Are you below 40 years?
Haha im 28 , do I look 40 years old ? 🤣😪🤪
@@louisreynhardt you are too mature lol. I did not think you are younger. I love your channel ...
Bro seriously😂😂😂
Ek het laas jaar ñ video gesien van ñ man wat sê betaal elke dag ñ bedrag op jou huislening. Dit neuk die algoritme blykbaar op en jy betaal minder rente.
Dit kan werk want rente word bereken daagliks. Maar dink net gou aan al die moeite as jy bv. 5 of 10 plekke besit. Ek sou eerder stick met wat ek genoem het in die video. Dankie vir die deel 💪🏻
