In this episode of Talk Property To Me, hosts Brad East and Aaron Downie break down one of the biggest questions in Australian property: Can you really pay off your home loan in 7 years? Thousands of Aussies are spending $5,000β$10,000 on mortgage courses promising "secret hacks" to pay off your home loan faster. But do these strategies actually work? In today's show, we expose the truth behind these programs and explain what really works when it comes to paying off your mortgage early in Australia.
We'll explore weekly vs fortnightly repayments, the offset vs redraw account debate, and why some methods only save you a few years while others could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest. Plus, we reveal why buying an investment property could actually be a smarter and more realistic way to pay down your home loan in under 10 years.
