Episode notes
Pause And Don’t Rush The Cash
- If you keep changing your mind, leave the sale proceeds in an offset account while you decide your long-term strategy.
- Get a mortgage broker and consider a one-off strategy advisory before turning liquid cash into illiquid assets.
Talk To A Broker Before Paying Debt
- Don’t pay off the mortgage until you know your borrowing options and have spoken to a broker.
- If you want flexibility, keep equity accessible and avoid permanently locking cash into the home.
Leverage Versus Time Tradeoff
- Leverage amplifies returns by letting you invest more than your cash allows, but it increases risk and servicing costs.
- Starting earlier reduces required monthly contributions dramatically due to compounding.
