Description:

What if one simple move could put an extra $662 back in your pocket every month… and potentially boost your borrowing power by up to $100,000?

In this Friday Fundamentals episode of The Property Couch, Ben Kingsley sits down with tax specialist Danish Ahmed to unpack a time-sensitive HECS/HELP strategy that many Australians don’t even realise exists.

With indexation approaching on June 1, this episode walks through a real-life scenario showing how paying down your HECS debt early could help you avoid extra charges, unlock a tax refund, improve your monthly cash flow, and significantly increase your borrowing capacity if you’re planning to buy property.

But timing is everything — and missing this window could mean leaving money on the table.

If you’ve got a HECS or HELP debt, this is one episode you don’t want to scroll past.
