    Hello

    #46, can I please add 5K for April

    Thanks
    Note:
    I'm FTB, not an expert, all my comments are from personal experience and not a professional advice.
    Mortgage debt start date = 25/10/2024 = 175k (5.44% interest rate, 20 year term)
    Q4/2024 = 139.3k (5.19% interest rate)Q1/2025 = 125.3k (interest rate dropped from 5.19% - 4.69%)
    Q2/2025 = 108.9K (interest rate 4.44%)
    Q3/2025 = 98.5k (interest rate dropped from 4.44% to 4.19%)
