Are You Overpaying on Your Mortgage?

    Are You Overpaying on Your Mortgage?

    When was the last time you actually looked at your loan structure? Not just the interest rate flashing on your statement but the whole picture. The difference between a mortgage that drains you and one that frees you up comes down to structure. In a cost of living crunch, that difference matters.

    The Silent Money Leak Hiding in Your Loan

    Most people assume they are stuck with the repayment number the bank gives them. But the wrong loan type, the wrong mix of debt across your properties, or simply not revisiting your setup could mean you are losing money every single month. That is money you could be using to cut your repayments back down to earth, build borrowing capacity for your next move, shave years off your mortgage term, or simply create breathing room in your budget.

    Why “Set and Forget” Doesn’t Work Anymore

    Interest only or principal and interest. Fixed or variable. On paper, these are just options. In reality, they are levers that can either keep you stuck or give you flexibility. Banks will not call you up to tell you that you are overpaying. That is where having the right broker in your corner makes the difference.

    The Bottom Line

    Your mortgage is probably your biggest expense. If it is not structured right, you are almost guaranteed to be paying more than you should. The good news is that it is fixable and it starts with a quick review.
