Debunking 3 common myths about interest-only mortgages! 🔍 Myth 1️⃣ : You should buy with cash to avoid the cost of interest. With an interest-only mortgage, your rental income covers the interest costs. As long as your ROI calculation includes all expenses, including mortgage interest, those costs are already accounted for.  Myth 2️⃣: The mortgage won’t get repaid. Inflation does wonders for your mortgage! Over time, inflation erodes the real value of your mortgage. Meanwhile, your property's value and rental income are likely to rise with inflation, making it easier to sell the property to pay off the debt in the long term. Myth 3️⃣: It’s irresponsible to take on debt you don’t repay. An interest-only mortgage offers flexibility. It doesn't mean you can't repay the capital; it just means you're not locked into a rigid repayment schedule. You can make annual over-payments or reduce the principal when it suits you.

Inflation isn't all bad news – especially if you're a leveraged property investor... Here's why it's a double win: 1️⃣ Property value boost: As inflation kicks in, the value of your property naturally goes up, giving your investment a solid boost. 2️⃣ Shrinking debt: Now this is the hidden gem – the same inflation chips away at your mortgage debt. That means you owe less in real terms over time. The “double whammy” effect: For property investors using leverage, inflation is your secret weapon. While it eats into cash, it simultaneously pumps up asset values and cuts down liabilities – which is a powerful combo for building wealth over time.
