Understand the Full Cost of Your Loan

A loan’s cost depends on its rate, fees, term and how you repay it. Reviewing these factors together helps you assess whether a change is worthwhile.

There is no fixed payoff timeline. Results depend on your starting balance, interest rate, fees, offset balance, additional contributions and withdrawals. We compare scenarios using stated assumptions so you can understand what is achievable for your circumstances.

What We Review Together

A useful review considers your loan alongside your budget and future plans:

Whether the current loan and features suit your circumstances

Your total annual repayment amount and whether additional contributions are affordable

The likely benefit of an offset after its costs

Your income, expenses and emergency reserves

Existing commitments and the risks of further borrowing

How the loan fits your future property plans

Any proposed change should be compared with keeping your existing loan, including its costs and suitability.

The Mortgage Freedom Framework: Six Pillars

Developed by Fran Jerome, the Mortgage Freedom Framework brings loan structure, cash flow and regular review into an individual repayment plan. Outcomes vary and no repayment timeline is guaranteed.

1. Loan Structure: Designing the right loan type, split, and features from the outset — or restructuring an existing loan to eliminate inefficiency.

2. Offset Optimisation: Using offset accounts strategically to reduce the interest-bearing balance of your loan every single day.

3. Repayment Amount and Frequency: Paying half your monthly repayment every fortnight produces 26 half-payments a year, equivalent to 13 monthly payments. The additional annual payment can reduce interest and the loan term. Simply spreading the same annual amount across more frequent payments does not create that extra payment. Check your lender’s calculation and ensure any higher annual contribution is affordable.

4. Cashflow Architecture: Mapping income, expenses and reserves to identify contributions you can sustain.

5. Equity Strategy: Reviewing borrowing needs and property plans, with appropriate tax advice before changing how funds are used.

6. Annual Review: Reviewing your mortgage structure every year to ensure it continues to serve your evolving goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can everyone repay their mortgage in eight to twelve years?

No. A shorter term may be possible for some borrowers, but a particular timeline is not guaranteed. A useful plan starts with your current loan and sustainable cash flow and compares realistic scenarios, including changes in rates and expenses.

Do I need to refinance to use the Mortgage Freedom Framework?

Not necessarily. We first consider your existing loan, possible repricing and available features, then compare suitable alternatives and switching costs.

What if my income is average?

Your plan must work with your actual income, expenses and reserves. The ability to make additional contributions varies, so a current budget is the starting point.

What if I already have an investment property?

Your existing loans, cash needs and future plans should be reviewed together. Seek advice from a registered tax practitioner about tax implications before changing how borrowed or personal funds are used.

Is this session free?
