30 Ways on How to reduce your home mortgage or rent

-
How to reduce your home mortgage or rent
  1. Live in an affordable home.
  2. Before you buy your home, get insurance quotes (renter’s insurance or home & content insurance for the home you want).
  3. Get home & content insurance to start the insurance cover on the settlement date, that is when you take over the ownership from the vendor.
  4. Stay in a safe (safe from crimes, flood, fire, etc.) neighbourhood, it reduces your insurance premium.
  5. Buy a house in the suburb that will get the flow on effect (that is the next suburb that will increase in capital).
  6. Or, buy a house in a good suburb or desirable suburb. That means, as close as possible to the city (that is within your budget), has good transport (there is freeway or highway, there is a train station and there are bus and tram services), there are reasonably good schools (primary and secondary schools), there are amenities (groceries and chemist) and hospital.
How to Save Money on Rent Payment
  1. Rent with housemates. 1 Bedroom apartment is more expensive than sharing a 2 bedroom apartment.
  2. Rent an older apartment or house, not a brand new one, unless you have an incentive (rent cut).
  3. If you work at home, you may be able to claim home office expense which may encompass rent, utilities, internet (check the tax office on www.ato.gov.au)
  4. Allow couch surfers in return for a small fee
  5. Sub-let the other rooms in the house & stay in the cheaper room
  6. Rent as a house sitter
  7. Don’t rent room by room, it’s more costly
  8. Don’t rent with all utilities, internet, meals and any other benefits provided, most of the time they are more expensive
  9. If you are renting in a house full of students, offer to the landlord for cleaning duties or any other duties, in return for reduced rents
  10. Rent out your garages
  11. Take care of the home and monitor your housemates and other guests to ensure they don’t damage the properties. Don’t sacrifice your bond money for something that could have been prevented.
  12. When you are vacating the property, clean the property on your own. Save money on ‘bond cleaning’. But do it properly.


 How to Save Money on Mortgage Repayments

  1. Be a homestay parent
  2. Rent out your unused rooms
  3. Rent out your garage
  4. Renting out to students and providing them meals, may command higher rental rate than renting room only. Providing extra benefits to students may also command higher rental rate, such as being a guardian, providing utilities and internet, providing clothes services (laundry and ironing).
  5. Look for cheaper mortgage rate
  6. Don’t use a mortgage broker, if your loan is simple enough, you can do it on your own
  7. Online account usually offer better deals
  8. If you think the interest rate is going to go up, lock into a fixed rate
  9. Put money into your offset account, instead of in saving account
  10. Pay your mortgage weekly.
  11. Deposit all money you have into offset account, the deposited money will offset your outstanding home loan.
  12. When refinancing for lower interest rate, incorporate the refinancing fees against the money saved on reduced home loan repayments.

1. Know exactly all of your expenses . List all of your expenses - write all of them down to the specific and exact details. Know exactly the following detail about your expenses: i). What are they? Gas bill, electricity bill, water bill,  hot water bill, food or grocery bill, home phone & internet bill,  mobile phone bill, private health insurance bill, public transport tickets, fuel costs, car insurance bill, home insurance bills (building & content insurance, or renter's insurance), rent or mortgage payment, council rates, body corporate rates, socialising and  entertainment expenses, etc. ii). Know when are they due, to the exact date or if not possible, to the exact period. For example, I know exactly that my mobile phone will be due on every 25th of the month, my private health insurance will be due on exactly every 1st of the month. For my annual home insurance bill, annual car registration cost and annual landlord's insurance bills, I k...

How to really save money?

-
I am a very good money manager. I save a very high amount of my salary consistently every payday. I was saving 75% of my income consistently in the last three years. I have zero debt. I paid everything, including car, with cash - no loans. I aimed to be able to afford a house with cash, too. I am not a weirdo frugal. I wear reasonably nice clothes, shoes and accessories (bags, watch and jewellery). I go out and enjoy nice dinners occasionally. And no, I am not a high income earner. I earn $70,000 gross per year. And no, I don't earn any bonuses at all. And no, I don't get anything (money, gifts, presents, bribes, or anything alike) from anyone, at all. People always come up to me and literally complained, "why can you have that?" "how do you  afford that?" "how do you have enough money?" "you must have a rich boyfriend!" All sort of negativities. I always say "save, have zero debt and pay cash for everything." May b...

Life lessons for 20 something

Work part time whilst studying . Not just for the money, but also for the precious skills. Because in working life, you won'the get promoted just because you complete cases well, but because of who you know, because of your people management skills, etc. Where to work? Work for someone who will invest in your development. Work in a place where you can gain skills that allows you to move up the career ladder. Work in a place where someone is willing to mentor you - to develop you, personally. Work in a place where you can gain a proper graduate placement once you obtain your qualification. Save your money . The cost of living once you graduated will be high. Think in terms of cost of purchasing a house, cost of wedding and (sooner than you will realise) cost of family (wife, parents and child, and later, children's education cost). Invest in shares. And reinvest the dividend s. If you have a bit more money, invest in property. Buy an investment property that will p...
