What if you could shave four years off your mortgage and save over $100,000—without earning more, working more, or even changing your monthly budget?

In this episode of Let’s Talk House, Lei breaks down the simple mortgage payment switch that most Canadians have never even heard of. It’s not refinancing. It’s not a side hustle. It’s not even about increasing your payments.

It’s just one tiny checkbox that your lender probably didn’t mention—and it could fast-track your journey to becoming mortgage-free.

🔥 You’ll learn:

• Why monthly payments cost you more in the long run
• How accelerated bi-weekly payments quietly build wealth
• The most common mistake Canadian homeowners make
• What to ask your lender right now to unlock serious savings

Whether you're a first-time buyer, current homeowner, or renewing soon—this is a must-listen. Real advice, Canadian context, no fluff.

🎧 Hit play. Your future mortgage-free self will thank you.
