Most property owners in Australia are on autopilot. They get a loan, set up their repayments, chase a slightly better rate every couple of years, and forget about it for 30 years.
In this episode of the Property Nerds podcast, Arjun Paliwal (CEO of InvestorKit) sits down with Kat Marsalek from Finance Differently to unpack a completely different approach to mortgages.
Kat has over 22 years in finance, spent years inside the banking system, and now runs a debt reduction practice where her clients are on track to pay off their mortgages in an average of 7 years and 7 months.
