The Refinancing Opportunity
You have an existing mortgage. You've been paying on time. Your property has appreciated. You have equity. Now the question: should you refinance? To what? With whom?
The opportunity is real: a 0.5% rate reduction on a $500k loan saves $2,500/year. A 1% reduction saves $5,000/year. But most Australians don't refinance because they: (1) don't know the process, (2) think it's hard/expensive, (3) miss the right moment, (4) don't know which lenders offer the best rates.
We've refinanced 1,000+ mortgages. Here's how to make sure you don't leave money on the table.
