The One Trick That Could Halve Your Mortgage Term
Looking for ways to pay off your mortgage faster and save thousands in interest? In this episode, Nicola and John Kefalianos explore simple yet effective strategies that can dramatically reduce your home loan term. They challenge the idea that you need major lifestyle changes to make a difference—sometimes, just an extra $50 a week can shave years off your mortgage.
John, a property investor and mortgage broker, explains how small, consistent additional repayments can lead to big financial wins over time. He walks through real-life scenarios, such as how a first home buyer with a $475,000 loan can significantly cut down both interest paid and loan duration by contributing an extra $50 to $265 weekly.
The duo also highlights why keeping repayments high when interest rates drop can be a smart move. They offer practical tips on generating extra cash, like renting out a spare room or trimming back on non-essential expenses, that can be redirected into your mortgage.
Ready to fast-track your journey to financial freedom? Tune in now to hear Nicola and John’s expert tips and learn how small sacrifices today can lead to big rewards tomorrow.
