Mortgage Payoff or Investment? Cayla Craft’s Financial Wisdom
You don't own the home right. You're paying the bank. You're leveraging your credit and your income to stay in that home and to make it yours and to have that beautiful property. Now, what's going to happen if you pay your mortgage down so you owe the bank nothing and you own that property outright and you live in it? It's not going to make you any money, unless you want to rent out a room, unless you want to build a back unit where you can rent it out, or you could rent it out on peerspace, and rent out parts of your home to make income from it.
Money decisions can be tricky, especially when it comes to choosing between paying off your mortgage or investing. In this thought-provoking episode of 'Mommy Millionaire', Cayla Craft dives into this financial dilemma, inspired by a question from her Instagram followers. Known for her passion for investing and financial strategies, Cayla shares her perspective on why simply paying down your mortgage might not be the best use of your money.
