My wife and I have always considered ourselves to have a pretty sound understanding of mortgages and how they work, but it wasn’t until I read How to be Mortgage Free in 4 Easy Steps, that we realised there was quite a lot we also didn’t know. Not only is the book informative, it’s also written at a level that is easy to understand. Our mortgage coach was on the same level too – after reading the book we had a lot more questions and he was able to give us fruitful advice – he looked at our situation in the context of our lifestyle and what we wanted to achieve. He was always helpful, had a positive “can do” attitude and was true to his word in getting our deals across the line. We have since used our mortgage coach for 2 investment properties and referred his services to our friends.

Through the education I have gained from "studying" your book ["How to Be Mortgage Free in 4 Easy Steps"] I have been lucky enough to avoid falling into a loan I wish I hadn't. I now have a home loan that is best suited to my needs and is going to save me thousands of dollars and a number of years.

A few years ago we did a bathroom renovation which was around $12,000. I punched the estimated cost into the Mortgage Reduction Plan software and it really didn’t make much of a blip on our loan repayment term. Not like I was expecting. I thought, “Well, this can’t be right”. At the time, I had to go see the bank and talk about money anyway. When I spoke to our banker about how little difference the projected $12,000 redraw seemed to affect our loan, he put it in his banks’ computer program… and it came out the same! He said, “Oh, yeah, that’s right”, so I knew it was. When we actually spent the money and did the reno, it worked!
I heard about the Mortgage Reduction Plan software a few years ago. I think I saw it on the local Current Affairs programme. I went in and investigated it. It’s great because we’ve been doing a lot of renovating over the last four or five years at our home, and we’re both on wages, so we can put the “what ifs” into the program to see what’s going to happen in the next four or five years with our loan.
Mortgage Free Australia has fantastic support for the Mortgage Reduction Plan software, too. Sometimes I’ve put the in figures a bit wrong and I’ve had to ring up to get some help. The guys at Mortgage Free Australia have been really, really helpful. I can thoroughly recommend the online Mortgage Reduction Plan software. I’ve been using it now for over 3 years.
