Is An Australian Mortgage A Good Choice For You?

Australia. The land down under they call it. It's known for kangaroos and shrimp on the barby. They also have their own beer. What else are they known for? AC/DC is one thig that springs to mind. Besides AC/DC, Australia has another export, the Australian Mortgage. No, this mortgage doesn't come with an accent, but it does provide a way for you to pay off your current mortgage in a half or a third of the time as a conventional 30 mortgage. The Australians and Europeans have been doing it for years

What is an Australian mortgage? Quite simply it is a mortgage accelerator. It decreases the amount of interest you pay while increasing what you are paying on your principal.

The mortgage accelerator is nothing new. This is simply being packaged differently and sold to Americans with the neat name of Australian Mortgage.

The Australian mortgage is a based on a HELOC, which is short for Home Equity Line of Credit. You replace your current mortgage with a HELOC. The HELOC will have a higher interest rate that can change regularly. This is controlled by how the HELOC is managed. In short, the HELOC replaces your checking and savings account. All of your income is deposited in your HELOC, which is your mortgage account. All of your monthly expenses come out of this account. While the money sets in this account, prior to you paying bills, your principal is of course less, which means for that time period you are paying less interest.
