how it works:

Step 1 Readvancable Mortgage

investments, such as stocks, bonds, or real estate, can generate returns that outpace borrowing costs, helping you grow your wealth.

Step 2 Make Mortgage Payment

By using these borrowed funds with the intent to generate income, the interest on the loan becomes tax-deductible.

Step 3 Access Home Equity

The interest on the investment loan becomes tax-deductible, lowering your taxable income, resulting in a tax refund.

Step 4 Generate Income

You can then apply that refund toward your mortgage, which increases the equity available for further borrowing and investing.

Step 5 Enjoy Tax Refunds and Repeat

This creates a cycle where you reduce your mortgage faster and grow your investment portfolio at the same time.

Self-Employed Income Tax Reduction Strategy

As a self-employed individual, optimizing your tax strategy is essential to minimizing costs and growing your wealth. One highly effective approach is the Self-Employed Income Tax Reduction Strategy, which allows you to use your business revenue to both pay down your mortgage and increase your investments.

how it works:

Leverage Business

Revenues


As a proprietor, you can use the revenue from your business to make additional mortgage payments. This helps reduce your non-deductible mortgage debt faster, freeing up more funds over time for other financial goals.

Maximize Surplus

Income

After covering your business expenses, any surplus revenue can be strategically reinvested. By channeling these surplus funds into investment opportunities—such as stocks, bonds, or rental properties—you’re not only paying off your mortgage faster but also actively growing your investment portfolio.

Tax-Deductible

Interest

When you re-borrow to invest, the interest on those loans becomes tax-deductible. This reduces your taxable income, meaning you can lower your tax bill while continuing to invest and build your wealth.

The Benefits:

Accelerated

Mortgage Payoff

As a proprietor, you can use the revenue from your business to make additional mortgage payments. This helps reduce your non-deductible mortgage debt faster, freeing up more funds over time for other financial goals.

By channeling these surplus funds into investment opportunities—such as stocks, bonds, or rental properties—you’re not only paying off your mortgage faster but also actively growing your investment portfolio.

The strategy converts non-deductible personal mortgage debt into deductible investment debt, lowering your tax burden each year. The tax savings can then be reinvested, creating a cycle of wealth accumulation.
