People tend to forget to save $$$ after they pay off the home. You still need to pay property taxes and no more single family home tax write-offs. The good thing, no more paying that mortgage interest...basically paying for the loan.
Great info! We refinanced back in June 2021 with an interest rate from 4.25% down to 2.5%, no PMI, and we went from a 30 year to a 15 year mortgage. We’ve been paying extra each month since we originally got our home 6 years ago here in Florida. We owe less than $130K.
I also did the same thing. I refinanced my mortgage to get a lower rate in 2020. My old rate was 4.375% but I refinanced down to 2.375% however the lender didn't have 15 year loan so I got the 30 year fixed rate. I will just continue paying extra monthly.
Me too. Refi’d in 2019 from 30-year/4.25% to a 15/year 2%. Just paid off my car and saving for 6 months living expenses, raise my 401 to 10%, then putting a couple hundred each month on the mortgage
Bought my house in July of 2018. Now it’s almost December of 2021 (Nov 29). I’m 40 months into home ownership. I’ve paid an extra $400 monthly on my payment towards principal and am 120 months into my loan term. I’m increasing my mortgage principal payment to $600 starting in January. I should have my house paid off in four years. So roughly 7 years I’ll have paid off my house. Keep in mind my home has gone up $130k since I’ve bought it (I know that’s not going to sustain since we’re in a bubble) and I’ve contributed $500 a week to a vanguard s&p500 index fund since closing on my house. I’m middle of the road also on investing and paying down the house early.
The whiteboard calculator was such a great tool when looking for what I could afford. For every home we looked at, we plugged it in the spreadsheet. It actually made me feel very confident when searching for a home. What an amazing tool!!! Thanks for sharing that with us.

I appreciate the message. I started watching this video thinking it's just going to be another video suggesting us to take out a credit line to pay down the principle. Instead your message is about buying the home you can afford and not go crazy with the current housing market.
I think most people that get into trouble with housing are over-leveraged. It's important to stay within your means, especially when making such a huge purchase!
"No income, no job, if you can fog a mirror you get a mortgage." That was exactly the situation that ruined the Greek economy. In the 90's and later everyone was getting a huge loan, much more than they could afford, and then suddenly came 2008...

LMAO so true tho, man. Some HOA can be a pain to deal with. Although there are some perks like living in a gated community; you’re probably just better off living in a good area and installing surveillance cameras around your house lol 😅
Hoa is circumstantial. There are some perks to having an hoa, just depends on your lifestyle. I have a co worker who lives in a non-hoa neighborhood and he hates it. Houses and yards aren’t kept up and the people park their cars and boats on their front lawn.
HOA was created because people park damaged cars in front of their houses and all their cars in the streets turning the streets in parking lot or they won’t cut the grass for years
Which method pays off the mortgage quickest: 1) One extra payment per year (payment being made at the beginning of the mortgage's yearly anniversary). 2) Making 26 payments per year (cutting the monthly mortgage in half and paying half the mortgage on a biweekly)? 3) Contributing 1/12th of the mortgage going toward principal on a monthly basis. Each of these scenarios basically makes one extra monthly payment per year, but the yearly (and cumulative) interest on each is quite different. If you combined choice 1 & 2, then how much time and $$$ would be shaved off a 30-yr loan of $308,800 @ a 6.25% APR?

I paid off my house in 2019. Refinanced for 30 years last year. I can pay it off at any time with other funds but I essentially have a negative interest rate on my mortgage right now. “If you think you own your house, stop paying you taxes for a year. You’ll find out who really owns your house” ps 52 year old here.
@Andrew keith just because your interest rate is less than the true inflation rate doesn’t mean you have a negative interest rate on your loan. The bank is not paying you to borrow money from them. It may be have been a smart move to do a cash out, but only if your returns on that money are used elsewhere AND returns are greater than the interest rate, inflation rate, and any other costs associated with having that loan.
I just refi'd today with closing docs in hand. 15 year 2.6%, 40 dollars a month more than the 30 year I was 6 years into paying on. Timely video sir! My wife and I were talking about extra payments not even an hour ago.
I refi in Oct 2020 15 years fixed at 2.6%. Will pay it off by June 2024. I more than tripled my monthly payment. It should save me 75% of the total internet.
Hi Marko. I’m just beginning to learn about all of this stock trading. Your strategies just make sense to me. I am currently researching for a professional as you have suggested, but I am also studying all of your videos.
Trading with Karen Lynn Olsen turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, highly recommended especially for beginners. Her risk management system is among the best I've come across. Also, her experience and guidance throughout not only keeps me away from lame stocks
how is her perfomance though? i mean what's the growth rate of your account on average. i just checked her out and her qualifications seem solid. I am interested in this.
Great video. I’m not sure if I’m the only one but I would suggest getting a mic cover to help with those sharp S noises. Just a little sound quality thing. Great job.
Just adding my experience. My loan holder had some calculators of their own and by adding $250 a month more knocks off a handful of years. Also, splitting the payment into two payments per month somehow adds an extra payment per year and that knocks off a few more years. We are now projected to pay the house off in about half the time.
If you can comfortably afford a 15 year mortgage and still invest the appropriate amount to reach your goals, go that route. It's easy during this boom period to say paying off a mortgage early isn't a good choice of your capital, but during those periods the market goes down you won't be regretting that decision. Again, you should still be allocating the appropriate amount of assets into your retirement accounts.
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works
I totally agree with you, the stock market is the most profitable venture I ever invested in, I reached my goal of $500k yearly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading
@@andrewpeter6783 the stock market is a vast platform to invest in. It's very profitable especially when you've got a trusted professional to assist you
Mortgage payments generally are calculated monthly therefore weekly or bi-weekly payments are not mathematicaly beneficial but emotionally for sure they are. Instead of weekly or bi-weekly payments you can pay on big chunk once and that's all.
Read the fine print, many banks do not apply partial payment until the full amount has been received. If you are paying extra, you should make a principal only payment mid month for faster payoff.
In our current plan, we are 5 years from paying our mortgage off. But, we are talking about a four-bedrorom with a movie theather room, two-car garage, awesome backyard, in a really desirable neighborhood. So, it requires that we pay several thousand dollars extra per month to achieve this, and we are well on track with this plan. So, I am looking forward to the next five years.
I remember when you said a long time ago, when you first showed this spreadsheet: "YOU NEVER OWN YOUR HOUSE. If you don't pay your property taxes, you lose it ! " 🤣 But yeah, in your example, $150 outright almost pays the 5 years that you didn't pay. This video exemplifies every step we took before buying our current property. Only we took a FHA. 3.5% down. 2.25% rate !!! Almost perfect timing.
Just dipping in to say I just put $2k into a new M1 account and went all-in on shadowing/copying/stealing/benefitting from Marko's knowledge. They say don't play with money you aren't ready to lose but his smarts and earnestness have made me roll the dice on trying to make something positive happen with what little I have to invest with.

Worth pointing out that in the U.K if you have a fixed interest rate (e.g 3 yr fixed rate) there is normally an annual limit of how much you can overpay. This tends to be 10% of the overall mortgage balance every calendar year. Once this limit is hit you will incur a charge.
Hi Mario great content just so people know some lenders might charge a fee if you want to prepay the mortgage earlier so it’s always good to ask the lender if there’s any fees. And here in California houses are really expensive might have to move to Texas or something lol. Anyway great content Marko keep up good work.
I'm getting a 330K loan at 2.25%. I am running the numbers and it seems pretty clear that between paying off the mortgage early vs investing that money, the later wins. If I pay $500 extra per month towards principle then by year 10 I will have around 7k extra equity. If I take that same $500 and invest in a index fund that returns 7% per year I would be at $28.5k return on investment. At 15 years it's $17k vs $71k.
I'm 31 and have a 15 year 1.75% fixed. I want to pay it off faster. But that low of a rate. I'm better to put extra in my 401k and/or enjoy more vacations with it practically being free loaned money. Would you agree Marco?
Might be of help to someone; saving exonerates spending but stop saving all your money, money can also be a tool Venture into Investing some percentage, if you really want financial freedom..
Getting appraising done today, refinance down from 30 years (24) to 15year and only taking out 20k to pay off truck and set up some extra savings for emergency and some maintenance. Paying the truck off will free up 500$ to put back on the house. Plan to be house rich in 10years. And buying rental property adap
Looking like a young Simon Cowell in that white shirt 😂😂👌 Great vids. After hours of watching and research, I bought Bitcoin and forgot everything else you said.
Spot-on! Great as always my friend! Please listen to him peeps. Within your means the faster you pay off that mortgage, the faster you are done. And that leads to Freedom! If it is a rental property (baring taxes and upkeep), it is Pure Passive Income! And when it comes in every month it is really super-cool!
As someone who is expecting an income to come in via military VA benefits would be be finically feasible to pull a 10 year mortgage but use all of my VA money towards the mortgage and any extra income I have to go straight to the principle. It will take me about 4 years to see my income level be higher then what it is currently serving but then it will only increase from there. If you count my VA money then I’m looking at about the same income level of around 60 to 70 k a year if you include rent and food allotments
Best way is to not have one in the first place and rent and just keep putting money into long term diversified equity based mutual funds. In the US people don't seem to factor in the annual property taxes they've paid over the period of owning a house. For many in the US, their home value has only gotten back to where it was pre 2008 crash. However, if you bought a house for 600,000 and it's now worth 600k after 13 years (ie since 2008) you need to subtract the 1% or so property tax which comes to $78,000. So your house is actually worth $522,000. Add in the annual insurance cost plus probably having to replace the roof and some kitchen appliances and I'd venture to say you're down to 500k....so you've lost $100,000!! Had you put that into Microsoft stock it would be worth over 2 million buckeroos, not to mention 3% annual dividend which on 100,000 over 13 years gives you about 39k in income.
12:30 yes this is the thing Dave Ramsey doesn’t mention. What if by the time you retire your house rich and you have to somehow tap into that equity? Ideally you’ll have a nice retirement account, but it won’t be as large if you used that money to pay off your house vs invest. My mother in law is in this siuation (house rich retirement account poor).
I am about to pay mine off in 2.5 years and the amount the money I can save/invest without mortgage will be substantial. Plus the other 2 paid off properties’ rental income are pure gravy. I am in the SF Bay Area.
So it would not make sense to make advance payments on a mortgage if you plan to sell within a 2-3 years, right? Like if I buy a condo to build more equity to buy my house, and plan to sell the condo within 2-3 years, making advance payments would not really benefit me; I'd be better off investing the money in low risk assets (bonds, low risk equity, HISA)
I've managed to pay off mine and my parents' mortgage since 2019. I got referred to an investment program with a skilled hedge fund manager, where I was nearly doubling my earnings and re-investing the proceeds. Paying it of was the first thing I did and now completely debt free. Great content pal.

A diverse portfolio spread across stocks and bonds and etfs is generally my ideal investment to beat volatile markets for the average investor it provides greater long term returns. it has worked out best for me in achieving a million figure portfolio also with the help of a investment advisor handling my portfolio. smart investing is key.
Our mentality is so messed up we validate ourselves with wasteful vanities, you don’t need to buy that new shoe or that new car yet when you can’t even guarantee yourself financial freedom, why not invest and be your own boss.

Amortization tables are important. Once you see how much of your payment is going towards interest you're going to want to pay it off as soon as possible. Sell your car, buy a cheap reliable one cash and put the difference in principal every month. Once you start you're going to want to find other ways to increase it.
@@steve99912 I'm not saying you should do one or the other. You should pay down debt as much as you can but also invest in your 401k or IRA. That way you take advantage of the compounding interest. If the market collapses and you have a paid off house you can thank me later.
Why dont I just take that extra monthly payment an invest in the market until I have enough to payoff the remaining loan. Even with annualized return of 6% I could safe up enough to pay it off sooner than just putting it towards the principal.
Then this become a question of renting vs owning a house. I think Marco also did a video regarding this and saw that there are some cases where buying a house through loan is better than renting.
Marko. I have a request for a future presentation. We are older and with MBAs with the finances to buy IUL. Life expectancy is perhaps 25 to 30 years. We want invest focused to provide legacy to our grandchildren now babies. The two salesmen we asked suggested lots of insurance but we deem their motives to generate large commissions for them. Not cash values for legacy. Our preferred index is SP500. We are not interested in whole life. Could you investigate for a future lesson. We would have no problem with 100k initial payment and 1k monthlies. Thank you!
Wondering if you would be doing a follow-up video to this. My school of thought is, instead of putting $150/month more down onto your mortgage, instead invest that into a good long-term managed mutual fund that can get you 8 - 9% return. So instead of saving $27,000 on the mortgage, you would instead to have $274,000 in investments in 30 year.
Marko, do you think it's also important to take into account inflation and the upside of investing the extra money instead of making extra payments towards the principal amount? If I pay an extra $500 per month towards my principal balance, sure this will greatly help me pay off my house faster and save me a lot in interest. However, the value of $500 right now is going to be different than the value of $500 in 20 years. What I'm getting at is would that $500 per month be better going into an aggressive investment account rather than going into the house? What would the % interest in terms of the mortgage have to be to cancel out the benefits of say a 25% annual return in the stock market?
Can't you see the game being played here. Inflation pushes retail investors out on the risk curve into risk assets and then the institutional investors sell out. Fed raises rates crashes the market. Retail investors sell at a big loss and the institutional investors come in with their hoarde of cash and buy pennies on the dollar and wait for the next cycle. It's the big game and the Fed and Wall Street are partners in it.
Looking at it strictly from a financial standpoint..... If you can make a rate of return on investments that is higher than the interest rate of your mortgage, put your money into investments. I'm sure that you've heard the phrase "a penny saved is a penny earned". View your investments returns as "a penny earned" and view extra payments on your mortgage as "a penny saved" (simply compare the percentages of both approaches and choose the one with the highest percentage). However, viewing these options strictly from a financial standpoint is not always the wisest option. For example, history tells us that the stock market returns outperform any savings that you may get from paying down your mortgage faster. History also tells you that there are periods of time when the stock market crashes and it takes you ten years just to recoup your stock market losses over a six-year period (in other words, you went sixteen years just to break even). In the long run, this is not a problem, but tell that to the guy that retired at 64 years old with the expectation that the market would help support him during his retirement (he would be 80 years old before he saw any type of return from the stock market). What I am trying to say is paying down your mortgage faster is a guaranteed return while investing involves risk. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOUR STAGE IN LIFE WHEN YOU MAKE THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS. Someone in there 20's, 30's, 40's & even 50's could recover from these periodic market crashes, but it could be devastating to someone in retirement or nearing retirement. On a personal note, I'm self-employed and nearing retirement. With every year that passes, I've noticed that my risk tolerance lessens. I have three mortgages (my residence & two rental properties); two in the 3%+ range and one in the 4%+ range. I constantly have a battle in my head as to whether or not to pay them off. There is a sense of security knowing that I would be debt free in retirement, but the other half of my brain says "why would you pay off 3% & 4% debt when those funds could be invested in CDs making 5%+ guaranteed (and also insured by the FDIC). Even though I intellectually know that I should not pay off the mortgages, the emotional sense of security constantly tugs at me. To date, I have not paid them off, but the closer I get to retirement (17 months), the closer I get to doing so.
Bob 65k Betty 55k House bought 750k . 120k times 5 (rule of thumb for qualifying) is 600k max they will get. Yet they bought 750k something gotta give but until it doesn’t. All is possible in Canada. Thank you to QE. We buying 1M - 1.5M homes here in the north on $125-150k household incomes. How ? Fake income proof docs attached with applications and banks r looking the other way cause they want us to invest. What happened in USA in 2008-09 is around the corner for Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Marko - I am currently paying extra on my mortgage (2.25% interes) that I know I might be able to payoff in at least 5 years. I am just wondering If I should invest the extra to SP500 instead then once i have enough to cover the remaining mortgage then pay it off? Will that be a faster option to pay it off?
Nobody can predict the price of the s&p in the future but u can predict all of ur payments and how long u will have to pay off and how much u pay in interest

I love it! I’m in the process of buying my first home, Bank approved me for 280k house and I’m looking in the 150k range! Don’t want to be house poor
They will always approve you for way more house than what you can comfortably afford. Way to go!
i wish you great success. I live in Silicon Valley where the average price for a new home is $1,000,000. It's insane!
Plus payment may change each year due to tax increase. Noone told me that when I was a first time buyer.
Thx for this..we are actually looking to pay principle n int. Along with mortgage
Marko went from Fendi dress shirts to white tees and paid off his mortgage in 1 month!! 😂
Lmaooo
I just refi'd today with closing docs in hand. 15 year 2.6%, 40 dollars a month more than the 30 year I was 6 years into paying on. Timely video sir! My wife and I were talking about extra payments not even an hour ago.
I refi in Oct 2020 15 years fixed at 2.6%. Will pay it off by June 2024. I more than tripled my monthly payment. It should save me 75% of the total internet.
Total interest I meant
Very helpful. 2 years into my first mortgage. Will be looking into this to see how much I can afford to shave off
Hi Marko. I’m just beginning to learn about all of this stock trading. Your strategies just make sense to me. I am currently researching for a professional as you have suggested, but I am also studying all of your videos.
Picking the best stocks requires a lot of factors and daunting for beginners so you’re on the right path. I have been able to net over $200k in profit
Trading with Karen Lynn Olsen turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, highly recommended especially for beginners. Her risk management system is among the best I've come across. Also, her experience and guidance throughout not only keeps me away from lame stocks
how is her perfomance though? i mean what's the growth rate of your account on average. i just checked her out and her qualifications seem solid. I am interested in this.

Great video. I’m not sure if I’m the only one but I would suggest getting a mic cover to help with those sharp S noises. Just a little sound quality thing. Great job.
Thanks again for helping us save money! Keep up the great work 👍
Just adding my experience. My loan holder had some calculators of their own and by adding $250 a month more knocks off a handful of years. Also, splitting the payment into two payments per month somehow adds an extra payment per year and that knocks off a few more years. We are now projected to pay the house off in about half the time.
You're awesome man! Always great videos, thanks for creating great and useful content!

If you can comfortably afford a 15 year mortgage and still invest the appropriate amount to reach your goals, go that route. It's easy during this boom period to say paying off a mortgage early isn't a good choice of your capital, but during those periods the market goes down you won't be regretting that decision. Again, you should still be allocating the appropriate amount of assets into your retirement accounts.
Hi Marko, Just bought a home. How do I make those additional payments? Do I just send them more money and they will put it towards the principal?

How the bank get away with charging ppl so much in interest rate?? This is crazy
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works
I totally agree with you, the stock market is the most profitable venture I ever invested in, I reached my goal of $500k yearly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading
Your right . Ever since I started investing in stock I've had a very good life
Having a stable investment package keeps you financially stable!
@@andrewpeter6783 the stock market is a vast platform to invest in. It's very profitable especially when you've got a trusted professional to assist you
I'm interested in this stock market but I don't know how to come about it . Any advice ??
You should discuss bi-weekly vs monthly payments.
Agree. Interested in weekly payments, since that's what I do.
Mortgage payments generally are calculated monthly therefore weekly or bi-weekly payments are not mathematicaly beneficial but emotionally for sure they are. Instead of weekly or bi-weekly payments you can pay on big chunk once and that's all.
Bi-weekly payments save you money by making 13 equivalent payments per year vs. 12
Read the fine print, many banks do not apply partial payment until the full amount has been received. If you are paying extra, you should make a principal only payment mid month for faster payoff.
In our current plan, we are 5 years from paying our mortgage off. But, we are talking about a four-bedrorom with a movie theather room, two-car garage, awesome backyard, in a really desirable neighborhood. So, it requires that we pay several thousand dollars extra per month to achieve this, and we are well on track with this plan. So, I am looking forward to the next five years.
I remember when you said a long time ago, when you first showed this spreadsheet: "YOU NEVER OWN YOUR HOUSE. If you don't pay your property taxes, you lose it ! " 🤣
But yeah, in your example, $150 outright almost pays the 5 years that you didn't pay.
This video exemplifies every step we took before buying our current property. Only we took a FHA. 3.5% down. 2.25% rate !!! Almost perfect timing.

Great info Marko as always!!! Very smart man!!!
Worth pointing out that in the U.K if you have a fixed interest rate (e.g 3 yr fixed rate) there is normally an annual limit of how much you can overpay. This tends to be 10% of the overall mortgage balance every calendar year. Once this limit is hit you will incur a charge.
Europe sucks. That’s awful
That sounds fucked
Excellent video. Thank you.
Hi Mario great content just so people know some lenders might charge a fee if you want to prepay the mortgage earlier so it’s always good to ask the lender if there’s any fees.
And here in California houses are really expensive might have to move to Texas or something lol.
Anyway great content Marko keep up good work.
I increased my student loan payment by $50 a month, saving me few years of interest.

Hey Marko. Thanks for your amazing videos. Can you plz make a video about VA loan and details of it for buying home. Keep up a good work 👍🏻
I'm getting a 330K loan at 2.25%. I am running the numbers and it seems pretty clear that between paying off the mortgage early vs investing that money, the later wins. If I pay $500 extra per month towards principle then by year 10 I will have around 7k extra equity. If I take that same $500 and invest in a index fund that returns 7% per year I would be at $28.5k return on investment. At 15 years it's $17k vs $71k.

Do you recommend buying something for less and doing a 15 year mortgage? Would this save even more?
Marko has hidden the whiteboard so well, it's like he's a ninja. Not a ninja loan in sight though.
As someone who is expecting an income to come in via military VA benefits would be be finically feasible to pull a 10 year mortgage but use all of my VA money towards the mortgage and any extra income I have to go straight to the principle. It will take me about 4 years to see my income level be higher then what it is currently serving but then it will only increase from there. If you count my VA money then I’m looking at about the same income level of around 60 to 70 k a year if you include rent and food allotments
I don’t need to pay any mortgage but listening to you it’s too relaxing 😅
Great info Marko - More informative videos like this in the future please.
Great stuff, mate!
Best way is to not have one in the first place and rent and just keep putting money into long term diversified equity based mutual funds. In the US people don't seem to factor in the annual property taxes they've paid over the period of owning a house. For many in the US, their home value has only gotten back to where it was pre 2008 crash. However, if you bought a house for 600,000 and it's now worth 600k after 13 years (ie since 2008) you need to subtract the 1% or so property tax which comes to $78,000. So your house is actually worth $522,000. Add in the annual insurance cost plus probably having to replace the roof and some kitchen appliances and I'd venture to say you're down to 500k....so you've lost $100,000!! Had you put that into Microsoft stock it would be worth over 2 million buckeroos, not to mention 3% annual dividend which on 100,000 over 13 years gives you about 39k in income.
12:30 yes this is the thing Dave Ramsey doesn’t mention. What if by the time you retire your house rich and you have to somehow tap into that equity? Ideally you’ll have a nice retirement account, but it won’t be as large if you used that money to pay off your house vs invest. My mother in law is in this siuation (house rich retirement account poor).
I am about to pay mine off in 2.5 years and the amount the money I can save/invest without mortgage will be substantial. Plus the other 2 paid off properties’ rental income are pure gravy. I am in the SF Bay Area.
@@jml9550 glad to hear it jack 👍
So it would not make sense to make advance payments on a mortgage if you plan to sell within a 2-3 years, right? Like if I buy a condo to build more equity to buy my house, and plan to sell the condo within 2-3 years, making advance payments would not really benefit me; I'd be better off investing the money in low risk assets (bonds, low risk equity, HISA)
Hi Marko Im a fan, what do you think about using heloc to pay your mortgage
I've managed to pay off mine and my parents' mortgage since 2019. I got referred to an investment program with a skilled hedge fund manager, where I was nearly doubling my earnings and re-investing the proceeds. Paying it of was the first thing I did and now completely debt free. Great content pal.

I had to muffle it up that way, so that It'd stay.
A diverse portfolio spread across stocks and bonds and etfs is generally my ideal investment to beat volatile markets for the average investor it provides greater long term returns. it has worked out best for me in achieving a million figure portfolio also with the help of a investment advisor handling my portfolio. smart investing is key.
Our mentality is so messed up we validate ourselves with wasteful vanities, you don’t need to buy that new shoe or that new car yet when you can’t even guarantee yourself financial freedom, why not invest and be your own boss.

Make sure you have crypto in your portfolio as well
Amortization tables are important. Once you see how much of your payment is going towards interest you're going to want to pay it off as soon as possible. Sell your car, buy a cheap reliable one cash and put the difference in principal every month. Once you start you're going to want to find other ways to increase it.
Why not take the extra money and Invest?
@@steve99912 because mortgage rates are guaranteed savings and the peace of mind that you get once it's paid off is priceless.
Guaranteed savings of what 3% which is actually mabye 2.25% when you write off interest. You are actually losing to inflation.
@@steve99912 I'm not saying you should do one or the other. You should pay down debt as much as you can but also invest in your 401k or IRA. That way you take advantage of the compounding interest. If the market collapses and you have a paid off house you can thank me later.
Exactly. Its an interesting problem. Piece of mind having a paid of home much feel great. But you are most likely giving up some investing gains.
Paying 2000 a month on a 760 payment. We'll be done in 4 years.
Does that 760 include escrow?
Thats the exact same thing I’m doing!!
Why dont I just take that extra monthly payment an invest in the market until I have enough to payoff the remaining loan. Even with annualized return of 6% I could safe up enough to pay it off sooner than just putting it towards the principal.
Then this become a question of renting vs owning a house. I think Marco also did a video regarding this and saw that there are some cases where buying a house through loan is better than renting.
This was discussed at the end of the video
Because it’s not guaranteed, depends on your risk level.
@@rubenunez nice reply, thanks for your input
Marko. I have a request for a future presentation. We are older and with MBAs with the finances to buy IUL. Life expectancy is perhaps 25 to 30 years. We want invest focused to provide legacy to our grandchildren now babies. The two salesmen we asked suggested lots of insurance but we deem their motives to generate large commissions for them. Not cash values for legacy. Our preferred index is SP500. We are not interested in whole life. Could you investigate for a future lesson. We would have no problem with 100k initial payment and 1k monthlies. Thank you!

Looked for that spreadsheet and it’s all money nothing is free 😒 yeah thanks for promoting it
It’s free if you sign up for the newsletter. It’s also $4 to potentially save you a life changing mistake.
Wondering if you would be doing a follow-up video to this. My school of thought is, instead of putting $150/month more down onto your mortgage, instead invest that into a good long-term managed mutual fund that can get you 8 - 9% return. So instead of saving $27,000 on the mortgage, you would instead to have $274,000 in investments in 30 year.
This is common knowledge and discussed at the end of the video
Marko, do you think it's also important to take into account inflation and the upside of investing the extra money instead of making extra payments towards the principal amount? If I pay an extra $500 per month towards my principal balance, sure this will greatly help me pay off my house faster and save me a lot in interest. However, the value of $500 right now is going to be different than the value of $500 in 20 years. What I'm getting at is would that $500 per month be better going into an aggressive investment account rather than going into the house? What would the % interest in terms of the mortgage have to be to cancel out the benefits of say a 25% annual return in the stock market?
This was addressed at the end of the video
@@WhiteBoardFinance oh my bad. I didn't finish it
Can't you see the game being played here. Inflation pushes retail investors out on the risk curve into risk assets and then the institutional investors sell out. Fed raises rates crashes the market. Retail investors sell at a big loss and the institutional investors come in with their hoarde of cash and buy pennies on the dollar and wait for the next cycle. It's the big game and the Fed and Wall Street are partners in it.
@@williamdavies1192 Yeah I see that but I don't see what this has to do with my question.
Looking at it strictly from a financial standpoint..... If you can make a rate of return on investments that is higher than the interest rate of your mortgage, put your money into investments. I'm sure that you've heard the phrase "a penny saved is a penny earned". View your investments returns as "a penny earned" and view extra payments on your mortgage as "a penny saved" (simply compare the percentages of both approaches and choose the one with the highest percentage).
However, viewing these options strictly from a financial standpoint is not always the wisest option. For example, history tells us that the stock market returns outperform any savings that you may get from paying down your mortgage faster. History also tells you that there are periods of time when the stock market crashes and it takes you ten years just to recoup your stock market losses over a six-year period (in other words, you went sixteen years just to break even). In the long run, this is not a problem, but tell that to the guy that retired at 64 years old with the expectation that the market would help support him during his retirement (he would be 80 years old before he saw any type of return from the stock market). What I am trying to say is paying down your mortgage faster is a guaranteed return while investing involves risk. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOUR STAGE IN LIFE WHEN YOU MAKE THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS. Someone in there 20's, 30's, 40's & even 50's could recover from these periodic market crashes, but it could be devastating to someone in retirement or nearing retirement.
On a personal note, I'm self-employed and nearing retirement. With every year that passes, I've noticed that my risk tolerance lessens. I have three mortgages (my residence & two rental properties); two in the 3%+ range and one in the 4%+ range. I constantly have a battle in my head as to whether or not to pay them off. There is a sense of security knowing that I would be debt free in retirement, but the other half of my brain says "why would you pay off 3% & 4% debt when those funds could be invested in CDs making 5%+ guaranteed (and also insured by the FDIC). Even though I intellectually know that I should not pay off the mortgages, the emotional sense of security constantly tugs at me. To date, I have not paid them off, but the closer I get to retirement (17 months), the closer I get to doing so.
How to pay your mortgage faster? Increase the amount you pay regularly. BOOM🎉
Haha
I can't believe anyone has to be told this
Bob 65k Betty 55k House bought 750k . 120k times 5 (rule of thumb for qualifying) is 600k max they will get. Yet they bought 750k something gotta give but until it doesn’t. All is possible in Canada. Thank you to QE. We buying 1M - 1.5M homes here in the north on $125-150k household incomes. How ? Fake income proof docs attached with applications and banks r looking the other way cause they want us to invest. What happened in USA in 2008-09 is around the corner for Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Marko - I am currently paying extra on my mortgage (2.25% interes) that I know I might be able to payoff in at least 5 years. I am just wondering If I should invest the extra to SP500 instead then once i have enough to cover the remaining mortgage then pay it off? Will that be a faster option to pay it off?
Nobody can predict the price of the s&p in the future but u can predict all of ur payments and how long u will have to pay off and how much u pay in interest
