Mortgage Debt Management

Strategic Debt Management

Debt isn’t just something to be eliminated; it’s a powerful financial tool that needs to be managed. A smart strategy can be the difference between debt being a burden that holds you back and a lever that builds your wealth.

At Concord Wealth, we help you take control of your liabilities and make them work for you. Our approach focuses on a few key areas:

Good Debt vs. Bad Debt

We start by helping you distinguish between the two.

• Good Debt is an investment in an asset that can grow in value, like a mortgage for a home or a loan for an investment property.
• Bad Debt is typically used for depreciating items, like high-interest credit cards or personal loans, which can drain your cash flow.

Our first step is to create a clear plan to aggressively pay down bad debt and free up your income.

Optimising Your Mortgage

For most people, their mortgage is their largest liability. We analyse your home loan structure to ensure it’s working for you, not against you. This includes strategies like:

• Using offset accounts to make your savings reduce your interest bill.
• Structuring extra repayments to save you thousands and shorten your loan term.
• Reviewing if refinancing to a better rate or product makes sense for you.

Consolidation & Investment

We can also explore more advanced strategies:

• Debt Consolidation: Rolling multiple high-interest debts (like credit cards or car loans) into one single, lower-rate loan to simplify your finances and improve cash flow.
• Investment Debt (Gearing): Strategically using your home’s equity to borrow for investment purposes, such as buying an investment property or a share portfolio.
