23.01.2022 "Thousands of home sellers across Sydney are continuing to cut their price expectations amid the coronavirus pandemic, with new figures showing more than one in seven properties for sale are being discounted. Prices dropped on 14.7 per cent of properties for sale last month, new Domain data shows, falling by a median of 4.3 per cent equal to almost a $50,000 discount on Sydneys $1,143,012 median house price." In a weak market we get a rising level of discounting, said Do...main senior research analyst Nicola Powell. [But] what were seeing is a broader number of properties being discounted, rather than a much higher level of discounting and hefty price drops. We havent seen the bottom fall out of the property market, prices havent collapsed. Were just seeing more sellers having to be a bit more realistic about what they can achieve. For full Domain article check here: https://buff.ly/2FnLq3Q How often are you able to get a discount on Sydney properties? No a single chance during good economic times thats for sure! So if youre a first home buyer or owner occupier looking to upgrade, never waste a crisis! #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimehomebuyers #firsttimeinvestors #propertyinvestor #homeowners

23.01.2022 Late payments and loan defaults leave red marks on a credit history that can complicate any effort to refinance or secure a loan in the future. Default can also lead to a home being repossessed and sold by the lender, so it’s very important to be aware how to avoid it.

23.01.2022 #LendPower #FinanceTip 8 - WHY IS MY BROKER ASKING FOR SO MANY DOCUMENTS?? Ah, one of the common recurring theme - brokers seem to want to find out EVERY SINGLE DETAIL about you and want everything backed up by documents, why? Do you know that every residential mortgage falls under the National Consumer Credit Protection (NCCP) Act 2009? And there is something called "Responsible Lending" obligations, which one part states:... "Taking reasonable steps to verify the consumers financial situation" As such, brokers need to verify customers financial situation with bank statements and so on - rather than just taking what customer says on its face value. So next time when your broker is asking for more information - its not because they have nothing better to do (), but its steps taken to ensure you can afford to repay the loan without experiencing hardship. #mortgagebroker #firsttimehomebuyers #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydney #refinance #mortgage #homeloan

22.01.2022 It's been almost a week since RBA announced cash rate reduction - has any lenders passed on anything? Here is a snapshot of how some of the bigger players in the market are doing. The trend seems to be all lenders have followed CBA's path in reducing fixed rate loans for owner occupiers only and nothing gets pased on for variable loans. Disappointing results really. Apart from the smaller online lenders like Athena/UBank who have passed on the reduction, only one other lender... has stood out so far - ME Bank, who have also announced that they will pass on 0.15% reduction for all existing variable home loans. So happy days if you' are a ME Bank customer! More to follow once we have received further updates from lenders. #lendpower #mortgagebroker #mortgage #homeloan

22.01.2022 Self-employed borrowers come up against the challenge of not being able to simply present payslips and tax returns to back up their loan applications.

20.01.2022 ATTENTION FIRST HOME BUYERS!! The reservation spot for First Home Loan Deposit Scheme or #FHLDS which allows you to get into your own home with only 5% deposit via government guarantee is now exhausted. The new 10000 spot which was added to the pool from 1st July 2020 had a huge uptake in a matter of 2 months and were getting updates from lenders that they no longer have any spots available. CBA & NAB was out months ago whereas popular small lenders who had 5000 spots alloca...ted to them are also reporting they are now running out. If youre looking to take advantage of the FHLDS youll now need to be placed on the waiting list until someone gives up their reservation and it could be a loooooooooooooooooong wait. But my recommendation would still be dont delay - get onto the waiting list as soon as you can! #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimehomebuyers

20.01.2022 #LendPower #FinanceTip 7 - EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE WHEN USING OFFSET ACCOUNTS Most consumers get attracted by the advertised lowest rate from banks, but little do they know these are usually the most basic, vanilla products which does not come with an offset account. Lets say the advertised interest rate for a basic product is 2.7% while a packaged product (with offset account) is 2.8%. Most people would opt for the lowest possible, right?... However little will most consumers know for $500K loan all they need is $20,000 parked in the offset account then the effective interest rate drops down to 2.69%! And if they managed to save up to $50K in offset then effective rate goes down even further to 2.52%! Dont be simply blinded by just the lowest advertised rate - they dont always produce the necessary best outcome for you. Thats why its worth sitting down with a mortgage broker so we can design a tailored solution for you! #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimehomebuyers #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydney #sydneyproperty #sydneypropertymarket #melbourneproperty #brisbaneproperty #goldcoastproperty #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #refinance #mortgage #propertyinvestor #offset #homeloan

Ive seen some people do detailed #budgeting via spreadsheet which is fantastic - but are you aware that a lot of APPs on your Smart Phone can take care of the hard work for you and categorize them nicely into the likes of "groceries", "transport" etc?

18.01.2022 #LendPower Investing Tip 2 - always have insurance in place for investment properties. This is based off my personal first hand experience. Ive had to evict one of my tenant earlier this year as she failed to pay rent and after eviction the place is in a mess - so different to to the routine inspection photos that are taken literally few months ago! A quote came back at around $20K to fix up including painting the house, replacing carpet plus all the bits & pieces around the... house that needs fixing. $20K is not a small cost to anyone!! So weve put it through insurance and after detailed reviews completed by loss assessor, Im very happy that most of the items are deemed under "malicious damage". As such, I was able to get almost $16K back to get the place up-to-scratch & rent it out again. Moral of the story - no one likes paying for insurance but you never know when you need it especially when tenant left your property in a mess! Always have the right insurance in place to cover for anything that could go wrong on your investment journey. #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydney #sydneyproperty #sydneypropertymarket #melbourneproperty #brisbaneproperty #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestor #investingtips

16.01.2022 #LendPower #FinanceTip 6 - HOW YOU CAN USE INTEREST ONLY REPAYMENT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE #InterestOnly (IO) repayment is a double-edged sword and is not for everyone. However it can be very powerful tool if you know how to take advantage of it! IO can be extremely powerful if youre looking to:... - Save up a cash buffer quickly - Minimize ongoing repayment - Focus paying down 1 property debt at a time - Maximize investment property taxation benefits (have a chat with your accountant about this) Note IO is only meant to be a "temporary solution" because ultimately you want to pay off the principal to become debt-free, however it can form as part of the overall lending strategy to help you save up a cash buffer quickly if thats your short term goal.

16.01.2022 Residential property is a fascinating investment asset there are so many different types of properties and I must say, it can be very confusing to someone who is trying to learn about investing in properties! As an example, on the type of properties front we have houses, villa, duplex, townhouses, apartments and studiosjust to name a few! Now, most people would probably know that houses in general are better investment than say, studios. But do you know why? The difference... in growth fundamentally lies on the concept of Land-to-Asset ratio and its an absolute crucial concept that every property investor should understand.

14.01.2022 They say devil is in the detail and thats definitely true before looking at refinancing! Have you factored in all the costs, including: - Potential break cost from existing bank if youre currently on fixed term? - Discharge cost from existing bank? - Entry cost such as establishment/application fee from new bank?... Sometimes youll find that after factoring in these potential cost, it may take a good 6 to 12 months to re-coup the refinancing cost even though the new rate is much lower! So dont be blindly driven by new rates thats been offered. Crunch your numbers before making a decision. We have the tools to help you with this so if you need help here simply comment below or message me! #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimehomebuyers #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydney #sydneyproperty #sydneypropertymarket #melbourneproperty #brisbaneproperty #goldcoastproperty #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #refinance #mortgage #propertyinvestor #offset #homeloan #payoffloanfaster

11.01.2022 Two weeks into RBA's latest cash rate reduction announcement and the trend is now clear that majority of lenders are advertising for new record low fixed rates rather than passing on the reduction for existing variable rates. This is a shame as it goes against RBA's intention on latest round of cash rate reduction but nevertheless here is the latest snapshot of how lenders responded. With cash rate sitting at 0.1% it is highly unlikely there will be further rate movements. Moving forward it's likely to be more actions on the monetary policy instead. #lendpower #mortgagebroker #mortgage #homeloan

11.01.2022 #LendPower #PropertyInvestingTip 7 - #Rentvesting: rent where you want to live and invest so your money is working hard for you! Most people probably haven't heard of the phrase "rentvest" - bascially a concept of renting where you want to live for lifestyle and invest where you believe the money is going to work hardest for you. This is particularly true in expensive capital cities like Sydney or Melbourne. When life returns to normality, would you be willing to sacrifice ho...urs and hours everyday on commute just so you can get a house in the outskirt of Sydney or Melbourne? Or would you rather rent & live closer to where you work and put your money into area where properties will grow faster for you? Something to consider. Rentvesting does come with pros & cons as well - I've highlighted them in my earlier blog articles and you can check them out in detail here: https://buff.ly/2OBA4g8 https://buff.ly/3f1oJ33 #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestor

10.01.2022 How is our property market doing up to end of August? As per Corelogics data, for dwelling value changes up to 31st August: "Australian home values moved through a fourth month of COVID-induced falls, with the CoreLogic home value index recording a 0.4% fall in August. Although housing values continued to trend lower from their pre-COVID highs, at least from a macro perspective, the rate of decline has eased over the past two months and five of the eight capitals recorded ...steady or rising values through the month." So were certainly not seeing massive 30% crash like those predicted by the media. Melbourne due to Stage 4 lockdown has had the biggest impact so far, however rest of the capital cities are still holding up quite well overall. What do you guys think is going to happen to the property market in the next few months? Keen to know your thoughts in the comments. #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimehomebuyers #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydney #sydneyproperty #sydneypropertymarket #melbourneproperty #brisbaneproperty #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestor

04.01.2022 #LendPower #InvestingTip 4 - Why having an investment-savvy mortgage broker on your team is the key to building a property portfolio! As an investor we all know having one or two IPs is a great start however may not get you the passive income that you are working towards at retirement - and this is the biggest difference between an investment-savvy broker & a typical #MortgageBroker. A typical broker will advise you of your "maximum borrowing capacity" for your next purchase.... Whereas an investment-savvy broker wont tell you what your max borrowing capacity is, but focus on planning the LENDERS & LOAN STRUCTURES to use in order to assist you accumulate the properties required to get to your passive income goal. Spot the difference here? One focus on short term goal (next purhcase), the other focus on long term goal (next purchase AND ONES BEYOND THAT). So if youre looking to build a property portfolio and want to know if youve got the right broker? Just see for yourself if your broker is just thinking about the next purchase or have also considered the ones after that to meet your goal. #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydneyproperty #melbourneproperty #brisbaneproperty #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestor

04.01.2022 #FirstHomeBuyers looking at those low interest rates as well as government stimulus incentives may well be thinking the time is right to enter the market.

In this blog post we outine what to consider about the current environment if youre someone who is deciding whether to take the leap into the housing market: https://buff.ly/3fAuO5a

04.01.2022 #LendPower #InvestingTip 3 - Building out a buffer fund as your property portfolio grows Thanks to the low rate environment its a lot easier to secure a "positive cashflow" property than ever before and so much easier to hold. However investors should never assume that rates will always remain this low! In other words, just because its positive cashflow today doesnt mean itll be positve cashflow in 5 or 10 years time. The bigger your property portfolio the higher the buf...fer fund you should have for rainy days - including tenant vacancies, maintenance/renovation cost and potential rising interest rate in the longer run. Have you done cashflow analysis for your property based on a 5% interest rate repayment instead of 2 or 3%? How would that impact your monthly cashflow and your lifestyle? For me, I like to keep 6 months worth of buffer in place for all my properties - in other words, even if ALL my investment properties are vacant for 6 months I would still have enough fund to hold onto them without having to sell. Do you have enough buffer to be able to sleep well at night? #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydneyproperty #melbourneproperty #brisbaneproperty #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestor

04.01.2022 What does "Investment-Savvy Mortgage Broker (MB)" mean and how are we different to everyday Mortgage Brokers?? A few key differences: Investment-Savvy MB devise a "LENDING STRATEGY" rather than just advising what your borrowing capacity is for your next purchase. We focus on the holistic picture and plan for next set of property purchases, NOT JUST NEXT ONE Investment-Savvy MB have extensive experience working with investors helping them build portfolio so we know whic...h lenders to propose and lender selection is NOT based on rates. ITS ALL ABOUT HOW TO HELP GROS & EXPAND CUSTOMERS PROPERTY PORTFOLIO In addition, Investment-Savvy MB are usually property investors themselves. We walk the talk, have accumlated property ourselves so we are geared with the REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE to be able to help and guide new, intermediate or experienced investors alike. Not all brokers can be Investment-Savvy MB and therefore our customers are usually very sticky as they know were experts when it comes to finance for investors, which sets us apart from the typical Aussies Home Loan or Mortgage Choice brokers just to name a few. So next time when you think of property investment, think Lend Power! #lendpower #mortgagebroker #firsttimehomebuyers #firsttimeinvestors #realestate #sydney #sydneyproperty #sydneypropertymarket #melbourneproperty #brisbaneproperty #australiaproperty #propertyinvestment #refinance #mortgage #propertyinvestor #investingtips
