    Refinancing Success: How One Property Investor Saved $200,000 on Their Loan

    With interest rates still causing concern for many investors, refinancing can offer a powerful way to reduce costs and improve cash flow. A recent Property Club member case shows just how much can be saved, both monthly and over the life of a loan.

    Real Example: Refinancing a $450,000 Property Loan

    One of our members recently refinanced their $450,000 investment loan, reducing their interest rate from 8.70% to 6.38%. That change resulted in:

    • __$870/month saved during the interest-only period
    • $52,200 saved in the first 5 years
    • $200,000 saved over the full loan term

    The monthly interest payment dropped from $3,263 to $2,393, putting real money back into the member’s pocket—immediately.

    Why Refinance an Investment Property Loan?

    Refinancing can help property investors:

    • Lower monthly mortgage repayments
    • Improve borrowing capacity
    • Reduce the total interest paid to the bank
    • Increase equity in their property
    • Free up cash for renovations or additional investments

    In this case, total loan repayments dropped from $1.3 million to $1.1 million a significant win that not only improved short-term cash flow but also long-term wealth.

    What Could You Do With an Extra $870/Month?

    This member now has more financial flexibility. That could mean:

    • Accelerating debt reduction
    • Boosting serviceability for the next purchase
    • Increasing personal savings
    • Or simply enjoying greater peace of mind

    More than just saving money, this refinance unlocked greater choice and control.

    Thinking About Refinancing?

    If you haven't reviewed your loan lately, now might be the perfect time to find out what's possible. Even small rate changes can lead to big savings.
