Here on the show: Hello Pete. Nicole I notice we did not put the people's names
on the segment did I not send those. I don't know. Hello Pete,
I currently have a 30-year fixed-rate loan on a single-family home, Aaliyah what
is another name for a 30-year fixed-rate loan?
A mortgage! That's right in the amount of four hundred and three thousand
dollars I just retired at age 69 last year I sold my other house and have a
net profit of five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This guys writing is
really sing-songy. Is it not? It is. I kind of like it though. Like, the
sentence length is the same I just retired at age 69 last year I sold my
other house at five hundred and fifty thousand dollars should I pay off my
current mortgage or invest the money I would appreciate any advise. Frank
hit the mic on there what did you say there? No, oh that's true, maybe he's a
euro is that rude is that a like a pejorative for Europeans call me euro I
don't know okay so we'll call this guy Gary. Gary, sold a home for five
hundred fifty thousand dollars at least that's his net profit and he owes four
hundred and three thousand on his current mortgage. He's retired at age 69
what should he do? This is very similar to a question that our lead financial
concierge Damian answered at PetethePlanner.com, our blog this week Nicole I
assume you saw that I did you helped put that into the newsletter this week which
people can sign up for PetethePlanner.com (please) we just say it's a free
newsletter is that implied I don't know you know there are a lot of like paid
investment newsletter yeah and there's like I don't know it's like a webinar
let's be weird here if someone were to be charged for our newsletter which to
get 52 of them what do you think that what would we charge a year for people
to get that information Gmail worth $1 I don't know I mean no
offense but I know you write them and they're great in all thank you I
would say I like them but I don't I don't even know if I would pay for
things like investment newsletters tube-like Oh will this all make much
money on these investments our newsletters they're clever right let us
spit some knowledge at you what do you think Frank I mean what do you think of
guys there's a lot of ifs ands or buts here I don't think there's a straight
way to answer this question although I'm going to go ahead and say anyone who
moved from a home in which their net profit is over half a million dollars
and is able to secure a new loan a four hundred and three thousand without the
use of the other half million is it fair to gUess, Nicole that they're doing aight.
They're doing fine right so I don't know if it's gonna matter one way or the
other. I'm guessing this person's mortgage
payment is, I without knowing property taxes and insurance thirty five hundred
dollars a month or so thirty five to four thousand dollars a month yeah
probably 3,500 based on interest rate but I would also say 30-year fixed-rate
mortgage my man will be ninety nine by the time the home is paid off and so
that means he's going to end with a 30-year mortgage be paying a lot of
interest him to refinance that and get that down to fifteen and then just pay
it off and be done with it yeah I mean why keep paying on something
when you have no more income coming well here here's how you would you're
very close if not 100% accurate here because this is how you generally
measure should I pay off a loan versus keep the money as an asset or an
investment yeah you take the interest that you're paying on the loan and you
compare it to the interest that you would be getting on the investment so I
don't know let's test Aaliyah some more. Intern Aaliyah how much money do you what
interest rate do you think you would get if you go to your bank and put money in
your savings account how much interest would they pay you for keeping money
there okay so not much okay so it's less about less than one percent right now
now Nicole you might know this mortgage rates right now I mean a 30-year fixed
is about four percent yeah okay actually actually I'm wrong
like current rates like 4.75 well let's just say this guy's got 4% if you get to
borrow money at four and you're only earning money at one Nicole should you
pay off the mortgage or should you keep the mortgage and take the 1% you're
getting with your money no pay it off 'cause you're paying more -- you're paying
more you're gaining more interest on what you owe rather than earning more
interest on what you already have in the bank all things being equal that is true
there's absolutely true so generally that is how you decide whether to
liquidate an asset based on the rate of return it's getting vs. I am using it to
pay off a debt versus just keeping the debt and paying on it and paying on that
interest rate so that that's how you would evaluate that but here's the
factor what I think could make more sense is at least try to if he doesn't
want to wipe it out it won't one full swoop of four hundred and three thousand
dollars to five hundred fifty thousand dollars in net proceeds assuming he's
already set money aside for taxes if he has them capital gains taxes on that
other house because you do know if you sell a secondary residence it's not your
principal residence your primary residence you can owe tax on the growth
of that asset Nicole that's one of the more frustrating things people have a
second home or vacation or whatever they sell it and they're like oh good now
I've got 150,000 bucks no you don't gotta pay Uncle Sam I don't Lea will
talk about Nicole and I did a but a couple months ago did we we did a tax
episode Oh in which we talked about all the sort of different taxes that you're
going to be exposed to in your life I think one of the more frustrating things
is when you get into property ownership and your responsibilities to the to the
government to the municipality revolving around that asset like you sold it. It
grew in value because you invested in it but you then owe tax because it went up
in value when you sell it I mean that's a frustrating concept yeah. I know some
people what they try to do to pay off their mortgage faster with their second
home when they're not there they'll rent it out on like Airbnb or like VRBO stuff
like that til they can pay off the mortgage look at that it's the sharing
economy that's what they call it yeah I-I don't know if we should do a
full segment on the sharing economy Airbnb would you and the boy ever
Airbnb your-your little bungalow there Frank no yeah I wouldn't either like I
don't want people up in my stuff right I don't need anyone else sleep I don't
know this is your vacation we'll do that I mean we do was it VRBO at all yeah we
do that for vacation we go down to Hilton Head we're just staying some
dudes house and I look through their drawers he doesn't keep his undies are
there anything but that's a vacation home yeah because you're on an island
like that I feel like that's one thing if that's how you want to cash flow
that but just your home I don't want people like here's the two things that
bothered me the most and this is maybe says a lot about me number one I don't
want people like in my underwear drawer which sounds like there's something
weird going on in there okay so maybe that's just more representative snooping
around my stuff but number two I don't want people using my spoons. Like forks, I
don't know because the more teeth activity like a spoon like you're you're
intimate with that spoon trying to get the peanut butter off or whatever you're
consuming and I feel like I don't want to be intimate with that same spoon like
I'm sure like what's uh what's a dishwasher detergent Comet yeah
comets probably pretty great but can it Desanitize the intimacy of a spoon I
have to bring all my silverware to like when I go to a suite? what kind of suites
are you going to? It was in South Padre for this past spring break me my friends
went down there and then like it was like a suite ...oh I would never use a
utensil at a hotel room. Well like they have like a maid service please
bougie Spring Break it really was I have to admit I saved a lot of money for
it spring bougie as they call it no one calls it that so anyway uh what do we
call this guy Gary Gary I think you it really depends on how you plan to invest
that five hundred fifty thousand dollars if you plan on putting it into the
market or something that has a higher fixed rate than what you're paying on
your mortgage then don't pay off your mortgage I think probably the more
sensible thing to do would be to take some of the five fifty pay down the
mortgage a bit and then tighten up the loan terms so
that you can decrease the amount of interest your pain not only because
you're paying less or you've borrowed less money because you've paid down that
loan but because the rate itself is lower those are the two ways that you
pay less mortgage interest you you decrease your loan from 403 to say two
hundred and three and then instead of paying four point seven five percent
because Aaliyah just so you know when you go from a 30-year mortgage to a 15-year
mortgage since you're borrowing money over a shorter period of time it costs
less to borrow that money so it's usually what we call about 75 basis
points last which means 0.75 percent less so if if to borrow money for
30-year mortgage they charge you for every outstanding dollar they charge you
four point seven five percent then they would charge you four percent on a
15-year mortgage instead of a 30-year mortgage yeah I just I'm just dropping
the K-knowledge here's what we're gonna do speaking of dropping to K-knowledge we're
gonna come back after the break and do biggest waste of money of the week if
you want to hear your question on next week's show or at Petetheplanner.tv go to
askpete@petetheplanner.com ask your questions Frank will grab it put in
the show and boom BAM boom at least we're not talking to you on the air all
right coming up after the break biggest waste of money the week I'm Pete the
planner.
