Summary
Focusing solely on securing the lowest interest rate can cause investors to overlook loan structure strategies that save significantly more money. By combining competitive interest rates with aligned offset accounts and fortnightly repayment schedules, property owners can reduce total interest payable and shave years off loan terms. Proper loan structure ensures liquidity while minimizing non-deductible interest burdens across investment portfolios.
Key Points
Why it matters: Structuring mortgage facilities with offset accounts and increased payment frequency generates far greater long-term interest savings than chasing minimal rate discounts.
