Finding the right home loan and paying it off quickly can seem overwhelming, but an experienced broker can make it easier. Here’s a quick guide to help you.
Common Home Loans:
- Principal and Interest Loans: Regular payments on the amount borrowed plus interest over 25-30 years.
- Interest-Only Loans: Payments cover just the interest; the principal reduces only with extra payments.
Interest Rate Options:
- Variable Interest: Rate can fluctuate.
- Fixed Interest: Rate remains constant for a fixed period (usually 2-5 years).
- Split Loan: Combination of variable and fixed rates.
Why Repay Quickly? Repaying your loan quickly saves money in the long run by reducing the total interest paid on the principal debt. Delays or missed payments can lead to financial difficulties.
Tips for Quick Repayment:
- Find a Cheaper Interest Rate: Shop around for the best rates.
- Make Larger or More Frequent Repayments: Reduces the loan term. Check for any extra payment fees.
- Plan Ahead: Consult a financial specialist if you’re unsure about your repayment capacity.
