Winner

Now is a great time for Borrowers to use the record low interest rates to own their Home sooner.

HOW ???

Many Banks will automatically reduce your Home Loan repayments when Interest Rates fall.

TELL THE BANK “NO” !!!

By retaining your Home Loan repayments at their previous level or even better … increasing your repayments you will:

1. Pay off your Home Loan faster
2. Reduce your current + future interest costs
3. Create a “Buffer” which you may be able to redraw in the future if / when required
4. Own your Home sooner

Making your money work for you now whilst rates are low will save $$$ now and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in the future.
