Should you pay off your mortgage early?
Do you see the $695,000 + net worth improvement with the RIGHT mortgage strategy and structure?
I've run through this scenario hundreds of times, and using the excess cash-flow to pay down the mortgage early, and then, reallocating ALL of the monthly cash-flow into low cost diversified ETF such as Vanguard VOO assuming an average compounded rate of return of 9.5% (historically after fees, the ROI is 11.3%).
The only time these numbers do not work is if the interest rate is below 3% on the mortgage. Below is a new client who is set-up on a bi-weekly mortgage + $100 extra per payment period. You can see their interest savings, payoff date, and then what the redirected capital would grow to in VOO after mortgage payoff. See less
