First Home Buyers of Hervey Bay. You can pay your home off about 14 years faster* and save more than $605,000*
Instead of spending $1.1 Million building a 4 bedroom home from one of the local project home builders, you can do something quite a bit smarter or the same amount of money.
Build one of our Primary and Secondary Dwellings instead. It will cost you about the same and the secondary dwelling will give you an extra source of income so that you can make extra repayments on your mortgage .
Depending on the vacant lot you buy , you should expect the total price of the land and the turn key build to be around 1.1 Million in The Outlook Hervey Bay
You live in the 4 bedroom house and rent out the 2 bedroom granny flat for @$550-600 per week. That's $2200 per month in additional income which you can use to make extra repayments on the mortgage. By doing so, you'll pay the property off in about 15 years and 9 months instead of 30 years and save more than 605K on the total repayments.
Just take a look at the example below where we have assumed you have spent $1.1 Million and borrowed a 90% LVR loan of $990,000 . We have assumed a 30 year P&I loan and an interest rate of 5.99% P&I ( but you can probably do a bit better and save even more, FYI) Based on those assumptions, if you were to pay $2200 per month extra towards the mortgage ( the rent from the secondary dwelling) you'd save 14 years and 3 months on the 30 year loan term and you'd save over $605,000 in total repayments
