Season 4, Episode 61 - Understanding How to Structure Your Mortgage | Investment Properties

"Understanding Your Mortgage" At OpenCorp we focus on strategies to manage mortgages and optimise property investments.

Mortgage Types: Explaining the difference between principal and interest loans and variable loans, emphasizing that investment properties often benefit from variable loans due to flexibility.

Lazy Equity: The term refers to equity in properties that homeowners often overlook. By leveraging this equity, investors can purchase additional properties and accelerate their financial growth.

Investment Strategy: Using "other people’s money" (OPM), like bank loans, to finance property purchases. They stress buying multiple properties to benefit from market appreciation, which can significantly reduce long-term mortgage repayment time.

Cross-Collateralisation: A key caution is given against cross-collateralising properties (linking multiple properties under one loan agreement), as this can risk both the investment property and the owner’s home.

Accumulation and Consolidation Phases: The strategy involves accumulating properties quickly to maximize growth during market cycles, followed by a consolidation phase where investors enjoy passive growth from their portfolio.

Be proactive and strategic in using mortgages and equity to build wealth and reduce dependence on long-term repayment schedules.
