After purchasing Surfers Paradise property, you could feel on top of the world. After all, you're now a homeowner in a fantastic Australian region – the world is your oyster!
However, after the honeymoon period is over and you begin to make regular repayments to your home loan, you may start wondering if there are any ways to help speed up the overall mortgage process in order to get debt-free as fast as possible.
