When most people compare home loans, the first thing they look at is the interest rate.
While the rate is important, it isn’t always what saves you the most money.
The right loan structure can make a much bigger difference over the life of your loan.
Here are a few examples:
✅ Splitting your loan between fixed and variable rates to provide flexibility while managing interest rate risk.
✅ Using an offset account correctly to reduce the interest you pay without locking away your savings.
✅ Choosing interest-only or principal & interest repayments based on your investment strategy and cash flow.
✅ Structuring multiple loans correctly when building a property portfolio, making future borrowing much easier.
I’ve seen many borrowers focus on getting a rate that’s 0.10% lower, while overlooking a loan structure that could save them thousands of dollars, improve cash flow, and provide greater flexibility in the long run.
Every borrower has different goals. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, investing, or purchasing through an SMSF, your loan should be structured to suit your circumstances—not just offer the lowest advertised rate.
If it’s been a while since you’ve reviewed your home loan, now is a great time to check whether your current loan structure is still working for you.
