DESCRIPTION:
If you already have a home loan and you're thinking about investing in property, one of the biggest questions is this:

Should you focus on paying down your mortgage, or start investing sooner?

In this video, I walk through how homeowners can balance paying down a home loan while still building an investment portfolio. We cover how offset accounts work, the role of cash buffers, how debt recycling improves the structure of your debt, and how your mortgage can affect your borrowing capacity.

This isn’t about choosing between paying off debt or investing. It’s about structuring things properly so you can reduce risk, maintain flexibility, and make smarter long-term decisions.

Topics covered in this video:

• Offset accounts vs redraw facilities
• Why cash buffers are essential for investors
• The difference between buffer funds and surplus capital
• A common mistake many homeowners make when investing
• How debt recycling works and why structure matters
• The difference between paying down non-deductible debt and investing
• How tax deductions work on investment property loans
• Why your home loan can limit your borrowing capacity
• Why loan structure matters for long-term strategy

If you're planning to invest while still paying off your home loan, understanding these principles can help you avoid common mistakes and build a more sustainable strategy.
