Fourthly, to ensure you have a broad idea of homes for sale & their prices: 1) search for properties online Ways to pay off your loan quicker 1) Low interest rates and fortnightly or weekly repayments save some interest. 2) A traditional loan is paid either monthly, fortnightly or weekly. The term of the loan can be reduced by paying fortnightly or weekly due to one extra monthly repayment on the loan per annum. 3) The term is also reduced due to interest being calculated on a daily balance, and since the repayments are reaching the loan faster than once a month, the interest charged on the loan is less, and therefore your loan term is reduced. 4) A new loan product called the Line of Credit has now been introduced to the market. A line of credit is simply a home loan with a borrowing limit which can be re-used if you pay all or part of it off. In other words, it is like an overdraft or huge credit card with a home loan interest rate. The Line of Credit can be arranged to purchase a new property, business or investment or simply refinance existing loans. The Line of Credit is a facility where you can pay in as much as you like, and withdraw as much as you like (provided you do not exceed the line of credit limit). In other works, your money can come and go as you please. Interest on the Line of Credit is calculated on a daily balance; therefore, if you have a lump sum or excess cash which can be parked in the loan, you will reduce both your interest and term of your loan 5) By placing all of your income into the Line of Credit, and placing your living expenses on a credit card (55 days interest free credit card) you can reduce the term of your loan dramatically. The goods and services which you purchase at the beginning of each month are not really paid for until the end of that month. Therefore, money has been sitting in your home loan, reducing your interest and reducing the term of your loan (After all it's your money, why not use it to your advantage). At the end of each month, an automatic transfer occurs from your Line of Credit to your credit card thereby ensuring that you never pay interest on you credit card. Should you need cash, it can be withdrawn by cheque or ATM card directly from you line of credit as you would do with a normal bank account. |
