Good reasons to pay off your home loan<\/h6>\n

The most compelling reason to accelerate the payment of your home loan is the savings you\u2019ll make on the interest component of the repayments. South African mortgage rates are currently high, with the average rate at approximately 10%. Depending on the value of your home, the interest component of your home loan could amount to a significant cost.<\/p>\n

Perhaps more importantly, however, being bond-free provides you with a sense of relief. Who doesn\u2019t feel good after paying off debt? Especially if you are close to retirement and don\u2019t have significant retirement funds, it may be best to kill your mortgage. If you\u2019re expecting your expenses to decline in retirement, think again: the general inflation rate is high and the medical inflation rate is even higher.<\/p>\n

And some reasons why you might not want to<\/h6>\n

There are also good reasons why you may not want to pay off your mortgage.<\/p>\n

If you do have surplus cash each month, you could use it to top up long-term retirement investments such as retirement annuities. Not only are the contributions tax-deductible, but the growth within the fund is tax-free. By giving your RA a boost, you\u2019re effectively accelerating growth within the fund at a rate that will likely be higher than the interest rate on your home loan. RA\u2019s have become increasingly attractive now that retirement funds are allowed to invest up to 45% of their assets offshore.<\/p>\n

Investing in retirement products is especially important for entrepreneurs, who may need protection from creditors should their businesses go belly-up. Retirement investments such as RAs, pension funds and provident funds are not accessible to creditors, but your home is.<\/p>\n

Over and above providing for retirement, it\u2019s essential to diversify your portfolio by investing in assets other than property. Diversification is key to reducing the risk in your portfolio of investments. You also need to consider the liquidity in your investment portfolio. If you decide to accelerate the payments on your loan, the liquidity of your investments is reduced. Homes can take months to sell, whereas stocks and unit trusts can easily be sold, in case of unforeseen emergencies.<\/p>\n

Two other considerations
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
    \n
  1. Your home might be your castle and pride, but your mortgage repayment shouldn\u2019t exceed approximately 30% of your gross monthly income. If it does, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019re not diversifying adequately or you can\u2019t actually afford your home.<\/li>\n
  2. If you have a mortgage on a property that you rent out, it may be best to hang onto the debt, as the interest component is tax deductible (as are other expenses in maintaining the property).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The choice is yours, but do get advice<\/h6>\n

    Deciding whether or not to pay off your home loan early\u00a0is a big deal<\/em>. The best course of action depends on your personal circumstances, including the stability of your income, your future earning potential, the time horizon of your other investments and the prevailing economic climate and interest rates.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s not a decision to make on a whim, and it\u2019s definitely not a decision you should make alone. This is where we come in. Of course, you feel emotional about your home \u2013 everyone does, even financial advisors! But we\u2019ll help you see beyond the emotion so that you can make the right investment decisions that will guarantee you and your family long-term financial flexibility and freedom.<\/p>\n
