22.01.2022 Have you been considering taking the plunge and buying your first home? With the Government incentives on offer, it’s a great time. There are a few things you need to do before making an offer on a property. 1. Save a deposit - with all the Government incentives and programs you can potentially get away with as little as 5% in genuine savings.... 2. Good money habits - it’s important to save and pay your bills on time. This is something that lenders look at to make sure you are someone who can manage money. 3. Check out your credit score (it’s free to do), so you know what your track record looks like. The quickest way to do these three things is to speak to a mortgage broker. They’ll be able to assess your situation and even start the pre-approval process. For more info, please message us.

22.01.2022 For generations, investing in property has been a great way to build wealth and set yourself up for the future. While buying your first investment property can be nerve-racking, there are a few things you can do to make sure you’re making the right choice. 1. Speak to a broker - the first thing you need to do is understand your borrowing capacity, which depends on your income and savings. A mortgage broker will be able to give you a host of options, whereas a bank can only ta...lk to their suite of products. 2. Get a valuation - if you’re worried about paying too much, buy the property subject to a valuation. That way you know you will be getting a fair deal. 3. Buy with your head - when buying an investment property, it’s all about the numbers. Don’t get emotionally attached to a property and buy based on your research. 4. Use professional advice - if you’re not confident, talk to a buyer’s agent. Just like a mortgage broker can get you the best loan, a buyer’s agent can help identify an investment property that suits your goals. For more info, please message us.

01.01.2022 In the current low interest rate environment, there has never been a better time to refinance and save money on your mortgage. By budgeting well and making the most of low interest rates, homeowners can quickly get on top of their finances and pay down their mortgages faster. Here are three quick reasons to refinance:... 1. With interest rates at record low levels, lenders are offering very low introductory rates.
