If we work on it right, every one of us could be sitting on our very own gold mine. According to millionaire David Bach, buying a home could be our ticket to wealth. This may sound counter-intuitive to some if given some thought will actually make a lot of sense. Homes have been at the top of the list of peoples investments for centuries.
In a CNBC article, self-made millionaire David Bach explained that:
"Buying a home is the escalator to wealth in America. Homeownership can also help you retire early, that is, if you pay your mortgage off."
Bach suggests that homebuyers should, "Take out a 30-year mortgage, but with the intention of paying it off in 25, 20 or ideally, 15 years."
How does he suggest you do this?
Here's the secret: "...If you were paying $1,000 a month, now you're going to make $1,100 payments every month. Inform the bank that you are doing this and that you want the extra $100 a month to be applied to the principal (not the interest)."
What will happen to your mortgage? Bach explains that, "If you keep this up, you'll wind up paying off your 30-year mortgage in about 25 years. Increase your monthly payment by 20 percent, and you'll have that mortgage retired in about 22 years."
Whenever a well-respected millionaire gives investment advice, people usually clamor to hear it. This millionaire gave simple advice - buy a home and pay off your mortgage early so that you can retire sooner with the money you will have saved!
