24.01.2022 Another month, another RBA announcement. As we anticipated, the RBA has continued to maintain a low cash rate of 0.25%. What exactly does this mean for you? The RBA continues to keep the cash rate low, thus providing a low-interest-rate environment to keep borrowing costs at a record low during these unprecedented times. It is highly unlikely that the RBA rate will increase rates over the next two years. It is also unlikely but possible that the RBA will not reduce the cas...h rate given it may believe this will have little impact in supporting the economy and if anything impacting many retirees with their savings and investments income. The real area to watch is what else the federal and state governments will do to assist and support all those impacted by the forced closures and ongoing disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. If not done already, now is the time to be speaking with your finance specialist to ensure your finances are structured to help you get through these challenging times.

22.01.2022 How much LMI (Lenders Mortgage Insurance) you pay, and whether you have to pay it at all is dependent on a few things, and yes size does matter! STOP PRESS more BREAKING NEWS... lender announces $1 LMI, yes ONE DOLLAR. How much might you save? Well, the amount you borrow will impact the amount of LMI you pay because LMI is worked out as a percentage of the loan. A loan of $500,000 on a property worth $550,000 will incur a LMI fee of approximately $13,500. Whereas the sam...e property with a loan of $490,000 will only incur a fee of approximately $9,500... so you would save A LOT! Call to find out more about this offer (T&Cs apply). P.S. LMI covers the lender, not you, ask me about a loan protection plan.

22.01.2022 Australian home owners who are experiencing financial hardship have options that may help during troubled times. If this is not you (thankfully), but you know of someone that is struggling, please share the below information with them. Pause Your Home Loan Repayments If you ever experience financial hardship, particularly due to COVID-19, you may apply with your lender to put your home loan repayments on hold for up to six months. Please note, interest will continue to be... charged and added to your loan during the period your repayments are paused. This means that your home loans will be charged interest on interest. However, if you do require immediate financial assistance, this is one option that can help preserve your money until you get back on your feet. Consolidate Your Debts To reduce your overall monthly commitments, you can apply to roll up all of your debts into one loan with the intention of reducing your overall monthly repayment. Redraw Facility If your home loan has a redraw facility and you have made additional repayments, you may have accumulated a buffer that you can now redraw to assist you in your period of hardship. Reduce Your Repayments Given the recent reduction in home loan interest rates, your present repayments may be higher than the minimum required. There are people to talk to, your bank or a mortgage broker, you are not on your own.

19.01.2022 Want to know something interesting? August is Inventors Month! Have you ever thought about when the "mortgage" was invented? Or where the word mortgage derived from? Read below some fun facts about the invention of the mortgage: 1: Mortgages that we are familiar with nowadays have only been around since the 1930s, but the idea of a mortgage has been around for a lot longer. 2: Mortgages are mentioned in English common law documents that take back as far as 1190! ... 3: The meaning of the word mortgage comes from Latin. It is merged from two Latin words, mort and gage. Mort means death and gage means pledge, so the word mortgage means dead pledge. But dont let that scare you! The dead part of the mortgage doesnt refer to a person, it refers to the idea that the pledge died once the loan was repaid, and also the idea that the property was dead (or forfeit) if the loan wasnt repaid. Now thats interesting?!

19.01.2022 Why does your credit score matter? Your credit score is a number between 0 and 1,200, based on your financial habits. Anything above 700 is considered good, with over 800 being ideal, anything under 600 is considered bad. Your credit score will help lenders determine if they should lend money to you or not, what interest rate to give you, and which loans you are eligible for. Higher credit scores get lower interest rates and more features and benefits on loans. Lower cred...it scores have fewer options, higher interest rates, and are more likely to get rejected which will lower their score further.

15.01.2022 CBA, NAB, ANZ, ING, ME... what do these all have in common? Can you guess? No not some weird alphabet, these are all well known modern day banks. Have you ever wondered where the bank was invented? Have a read of some fun facts below: The earliest recording of a bank has been said to have started in ancient Mesopotamia (Mesopotamia was the ancient name for what is now Iraq, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers). Although, a lot of this was not in the form of f...inancial lending, instead banks would lend out seeds and the like. Historically temples were considered the earliest forms of banks as they were occupied by priests and became a haven for the wealthy. Perhaps the biggest changes to the world of banking came in the 17th to 19th centuries, particularly in London. The first proper modern day bank could be said to be the Goldsmiths of London. People would deposit their precious materials into these vaults, and they would be able to collect them. Over time, Goldsmiths started to provide loans. Also, did you know the word bank derived from the Italian word banco, meaning a bench, since Italian merchants in the Renaissance made deals to borrow and lend money beside a bench.

07.01.2022 Why are so many people confused about interest rates? We know that to most people finance is boring, ask them about interest rates and their eyes will glaze over. Rightly so, a simple product like a home loan has many variables to consider before you find the rate that best suits your needs. For example did you know owner occupied home loans are priced differently to investment loans. Then there are further differences based on whether you want either Principle ...and Interest repayments or Interest Only repayments. On top of that, new borrowers are usually offered better rates than existing customers from the same lender. Also if your loan is over a certain dollar amount, you can get a variety of interest rate discounts. Even being a member of some selected organisations can get you a discount. Then there are fixed rates, each with their own rate linked to the length of the fixed term. We should point out that these variations apply to almost every lender, the number of choices is staggering. So, we do understand why it can be somewhat confusing. The good news? You dont have to stress over it, its our job to know the detail, were here to make it easy for you!

Yes, there are some benefits when it comes to refinancing, but you need to also consider any possible fees associated with cancelling a loan and applying for a new one... so it may not be the right move for you at the moment Talking to a MoneyQuest broker will help you decide if the time is right.
