The benefits of Offset Accounts for Property Investors

There is a better way to manage your portfolio

 Offset Accounts can help property investors save money, by reducing the amount of time it takes to pay off your loan and can help insulate you against interest rate rises.

Offset accounts are effectively, a savings account that is attached to your home loan.

However unlike a normal savings account, an offset account pays interest at the same rate as your home loan and is tax free.

As the name implies, the money in your mortgage offset account, is deducted from your loan balance daily.

This can reduce the amount of interest you need to pay considerably and your monthly mortgage repayments will reduce the loan amount faster.

By depositing your rental income each month and using it like a regular account to make payments, you can save thousands over the life of the loan.

Leaving your money untouched for longer periods will help lower your home loan repayments every month, as well as your overall interest.
