Summary
Should you buy property cash or finance it with a bond? In this video I unpack why using finance strategically can be more powerful than going debt free, whether you are an owner-occupier or an investor. We look at cash flow protection, the psychology of having a mortgage bond accessible, and how to safeguard yourself against life’s uncertainties. For investors, I explain the benefits of tax-deductibility on interest, scalability of your portfolio, and the control and flexibility that leverage provides. I also address common objections such as: “I simply hate debt” “What if interest rates go up” “Cash feels safer” “I want to own my home outright” Finally, I share four practical tips for using bonds wisely so you can grow your wealth and build financial resilience.
