PAY OFF HOME LOAN or INVEST FOR THE FUTURE?

Why not do both at the same time with a debt recycling strategy!

Break free from your home loan with the right strategy.

Pay off your home loan sooner
Save home loan interest & tax each year
Create wealth for your future
Maintain your current lifestyle

Your family home loan is not the most efficient type of debt. It doesn't generate an income and the interest repayments are not tax deductible.

Whereas, interest on Investment Loans, where the purpose of the money was used to fund an investment (e.g. Investment Property) is a tax deductible.

But there may be a way to recycle the non-deductible or 'inefficient' debt from your family home loan into more efficient tax-deductible debt. You can even use any earnings from this 'debt recycling' strategy to pay off the inefficient debt on your family home loan.

Debt Recycling can potentially contribute to your strategy to build your long-term wealth.

Here's how debt recycling could work:

Use equity in your property as security for an investment-purpose loan - this means your home will be used as security and may be put at risk.
Use the borrowed money to invest in an income-producing asset such as a managed fund, an investment property or shares.
Use the income generated, plus any tax advantages of a geared investment, to pay off non-deductible debt in your home loan
Increase your investment-purpose loan by the same amount that you have paid off your non-deductible loan, and reinvest that increased amount
Repeat this process each year until your deductible loan entirely replaces your non-deductible loan.

So it isn't suitable for everyone. You need to be comfortable with using the equity in your home to invest. And it's essential to seek good financial advice.

For a debt recycling strategy to work you need:

A regular, independent income you can rely on to deliver a surplus cash flow to cover the interest payments on your investment loan.
A long-term investment focus.
A willingness to increase your debt and hold an investment loan.
Tolerance for risk and short-term fluctuations in investment value.
Income protection insurance-it may provide replacement income in case you're sick or injured and unable to work.

Seek financial advice

It's important to understand all the risks involved when it comes to debt recycling. Make sure you seek financial advice before implementing it as a strategy.
