What's your strategy?
Monday September 22, 2008
Before you approach a mortgage company for a mortgage, do you have a strategy for how you will repay your home loan? The plan isn't to help convince a mortgage company that you are a worthwhile prospect - it is to give you a better idea of which mortgage company you should approach as well as whether you should choose variable rate mortgage home loans, fixed rate mortgage home loans or other mortgage types.
If you do not have a plan for how to pay off your mortgage beyond making enough money to make repayments, then you do not have a plan to succeed. You should know how much you can afford interest rates to rise at this point in time in order to still be able to afford minimum repayments, have a plan for how much you will add in extra repayments or decide whether you will have to rely on minimum repayments at first, as well as have an idea of how often you will reassess your situation so that you may adjust your plan to adapt to changing circumstances. Planning how to approach your mortgage should give you more confidence in your ability to pay off a mortgage as well as help you to find an appropriate mortgage company.
