Interest Only vs Repayment Mortgages

Repayment mortgage, or interest-only mortgage? That's the question everyone has to consider when it comes to buying a property. The route you choose will depend on the strategy you're following.   In this week's show, Simon talks you through the benefits of each, and discusses which strategies work best with both.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   The mortgage on your own home needs to be paid off by the time you retire. This is because when you retire, your lender will assume that your income will significantly drop. The equity in your own home is the means by which many start their investment journey. Many do not have savings, but they have grown equity over time. Always seek advice from an independent and unbiased advisor or broker, who has access to the full market, and who can help you to understand your best route. If you intend to refinance as the value goes up, ti may make much more sense to go the interest-only route, as it makes far more financial sense   BEST MOMENTS   'You need to treat your own home differently from any of your investment properties' 'Try and make your fortune and retire early to enjoy the rest of your life while you're still young enough and fit enough to actually enjoy your retirement' 'Over time values go up!' 'Hopefully one day, the income you get from your property is more than the income you get from your job'   VALUABLE RESOURCES   To access more free Creative Finance Strategies visit www.creativefinancetraining.co.uk    Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi   To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2   Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk    ABOUT THE HOST   Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.
