Repayment or Interest Only. Which mortgage is right for me?

David shares his perspective on repayment and interest-only mortgages and explains what his current strategy is. With an interest-only mortgage over time inflation can come to your rescue and with the pandemic causing a massive shock to the economic system, some expert opinions say that it will be inflation that will ultimately eat away at the debt. The value of property goes up over time, rents go up over time but in effect, the value of the mortgage is less over time meaning inflation could be the magic element for your property portfolio moving forward.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When you purchase property you are investing in bricks and mortar and hoping the value will go up over time It’s a much more efficient use of your cash to go interest only With an interest-only mortgage over time inflation will come to your rescue There is huge pent up spending power, assets will be purchased and go up in value and this will eat away at the coronavirus debt With inflation, property prices go up but if you have a mortgage debt  it  stays the same You can follow the inflationary rise of the property and keep drawing money out as the value increases. The value of the debt is eaten away by inflation The value of the property goes up over time, rents go up over time but in effect, the value of the mortgage is less over time Over time inflation will be pushing up the value of your property and in real monetary terms decreasing the value of the loan with rents going up When you are property portfolio building interest-only mortgages are a good way to go There is a magic in the effect of  inflation over time on your property business   BEST MOMENTS I’m leaning towards inflation going up, I can’t see how it can do anything else Asset inflation makes heroes of us all I’ve seen significant inflation before   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.
