Frequently Asked Questions
Why prepay my home loan if mortgage rates are relatively low?
Under Step 7 of the RiaFin Doctrine, a home is a shelter rather than an investment. The peace of mind, stability, and liquidity freed up by having a 100% paid-for home far outweighs the minor spread of tax write-offs or investing while carrying a multi-decade loan debt.
How does adding a small extra monthly payment affect my mortgage?
Prepayments act directly on the loan principal. Since interest is calculated monthly on the outstanding balance, prepayments permanently compound your interest savings and shave off years of payments.
Should I pay off my home loan early or invest in the stock market?
The RiaFin Doctrine sequences actions: Step 5 requires investing 15-20% for retirement. Once that baseline is met, Step 7 directs putting all extra surplus income toward prepaying the mortgage, guaranteeing a tax-free return equal to your loan interest rate.
