    in my time there was no offset account, so we lived on one wage and paying off above and beyond the normal monthly repayment with the other. The interest rate was around 8% at the time, so it was rewarding to pay it off ASAP. My daughter just bought hers and borrowed 490k with monthly repayment of 3k. When I can I will park some money into her offset so to reduce her interest burden.

    If the bank says you can borrow 600k then borrow 300k live in a small house/unit, then pay off the loan at the 600k amount. You will pay off house in 7 years. Then upgrade house to a 600k house. At the same rate you will have a 600k house paid in 14 years.

      That's a great idea, even better don't sell your old house when you buy the new one.
      Assuming you can afford it, which should be possible with rent from old house

      This. When banks calculates how much the average joe can borrow, they try to predict how much a person can borrow without defaulting on the mortgage, yet at the same time, high enough so that they can't make extra repayments.
      When their customers can't make extra repayments = more profit to the banks
      Always borrow less than the amount you're allowed to borrow.

    If you have a friend who has also purchased a house... You can move into each other's house and claim your house as an investment property. This way your interest payments, insurance, rates, repairs, plus depreciation can be claimed as a tax deduction.

      You pay $500 a week and your mate pays $500 a week. Even Steven, but "rent" is still going out of your bank into the home owner's account.

    Great video! Thanks Irene! I’m just curious if there’s a cut-off time for daily interest calculation, for example, the offset amount must be in the offset account until midnight or 5pm to be counted.

    • @IreneZhu
      @IreneZhu  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks for watching! Most banks use the end of the calendar day, usually at midnight (11:59 PM local time), as the cut-off for calculating daily interest.

    Set you loan up as a split loan to debt recycle into the sharemarket 😊
    The split loan if set up correctly will allow part of your mortgage to be tax deductible 😁

    Shouldn't you compare the opportunity cost of paying off the mortgage faster vs putting the difference in an ETF portfolio?

    • @Woodland26
      @Woodland26 3 месяца назад +1

      can the ETF do better than 6.5% after tax?

    • @slightfimulator4888
      @slightfimulator4888 3 месяца назад

      The after tax part doesn't matter, because you pay when you sell (aside from dividends but you can avoid those or take advantage of franking) and get a capital gains discount or sell when you retire at a lower income threshold.
      You can also pay what you would have spent on extra mortgage payments into your concessional or non-concessional super contributions so this avoids CGT too.
      The expected nominal returns of a diversified ETF portfolio should be more than 6.5% yes, more like 9%.

    Don't borrow to your limit and pick a place you can afford (e.g. can borrow 1mil, borrow 600k instead). Plan to pay double the repayment and you'll be done in 5-10yrs instead of 30.
    As silly as it sounds, earn more money 😂
