Mortgage Choices Starting to think about end of financial year tax deductions? If so, it may be worth considering paying interest in advance, prior to June 30, on any investment loans you have. Stephanie Cook, principal of Mortgage Choice Lane Cove, says that “at about this time of year, investors and their accountants are thinking about how they may be able to reduce the amount of tax payable for the year by looking for legitimate deductions. One common strategy is to pay a full twelve months interest in advance on any investment loans. Depending on your individual financial situation this can mean a substantial refund right at the beginning of the new tax year. It is important that people thoroughly understand the advantages and disadvantages before they make a commitment to enter into any new loan agreement. That’s one reason why the Mortgage Choice service works so well. We spend time going through what lending requirements you have, matching this to our lenders’ policies and comparing the various interest rates, fees and charges, and flexibility of the different loans on offer.” As your local mortgage professional with more than 20 years industry experience, Stephanie says “the main benefit of using our service comes down to saving you time, money and effort. Best of all, Mortgage Choice does not charge you for this service.” Please feel free to contact us on 9420 3052, visit 15/43-45 Burns Bay Rd, Lane Cove or stephanie.cook@mortgagechoice.com.au Mortgage Choice Limited ACN 009 161 979.
