Home Loan Hacks: The straight-forward guide to paying off your mortgage asap

Most Australians will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on interest over the life of their home loan. The frustrating part? Much of it is avoidable. Not through risky investment schemes, extreme frugality, or "secret formulas" ... But by understanding how your home loan actually works. After 16 years in the Australian lending industry, finance educator Dave Hirst has seen it all - from confusing bank jargon to online "finfluencers" selling expensive courses that promise hidden tricks (and often end in a property investment pitch). This book is different. No gatekeeping. No upsells. No $4,500 seminars. Every concept, strategy, and so-called 'secret' is laid out clearly - so you can take control of your loan and stop overpaying the bank. Inside, you'll discover: How interest is really calculated. How to structure your loan and accounts to your advantage. Simple strategies that can save years on your mortgage. Practical insights most borrowers were never taught. The cost of this book could save you years of repayments - and a small fortune in interest. DAVE HIRST is a finance educator with a knack for explaining boring money concepts in simple English, usually with the help of humour and the occasional terrible dad joke. Frustrated by the rise of expensive "secret strategy" courses online, Dave wrote this book to make practical home loan knowledge accessible to everyone.
