💸 Is It Worth Refinancing? This week’s case study - The Real Impact on Cash Flow and Interest Savings.
Refinancing can seem like a hassle, but the benefits are well worth it for many homeowners. Lower interest rates reduce monthly repayments and save thousands in interest over time.
Let’s walk through a real-life example involving an owner-occupied home and an investment (parent’) property.
🏠 The Scenario
William and Anne wanted to:
Lower their interest rates
Improve their monthly cash flow
Prepare for future investment opportunities
Total Loan: $542,824.00
Both loans were with the same lender, but the interest rates increased over time. After reviewing their options, they refinanced with a different lender, significantly lowering their rates and freeing up extra cash each month.
💳 Loan Repayment Comparison & Cash Flow Improvement
Lowering the rate improves cash flow and cuts the total interest you pay over time.
🧠 Why This Matters
📉 Reduced Monthly Repayments: More breathing room for everyday expenses
📈 Improved Borrowing Power: Stronger position for your next investment
💰 Lower Interest Costs: Save thousands annually—money that stays in your pocket
