Equity Release Case Study
Andrew & Sarah are married with a young family. They own a home worth approximately $650,000 with an outstanding home loan of about $350,000 and no other debts.
Andrew earns $95,000 per annum, and Sarah is working part time earning about $25,000 per annum. Their household expenses are $48,000 per annum (excluding loan repayments) and they believe they have an income surplus of $12,000 per annum.
Both Andrew & Sarah are keen to create wealth and want to know what would be a better strategy, paying off their home loan with their surplus income and investing later or pursuing our Equity Release strategy.
They would be comfortable borrowing about $100,000 for investment purposes.
Increasing their total borrowing to $450,000 and using just some of the investment, cash flow, and debt management techniques within our Equity Release strategy, we projected they would achieve the following benefits:
