25.01.2022 Love where you live? Don't want to renovate? It might be worth considering knocking down the old house and building new! It may be the best solution. check out Andrew's eBook on the topic - free to download. #newhomes #cartergrange #knockdownrebuild #constructionfinance #schoolzones #lovewhereyoulive
24.01.2022 Our old office is having quite the makeover!!!! We enjoyed the view from 409 St Kilda Rd for eight years. Looks like the next occupants might have to spend a bit more than we did to live in this great location! #museapartments #409StKildaRd #luxuryapartments #penthouse

23.01.2022 Some great graphs from Fin Review today about foreign investors, the Chinese and rental yields. Very interesting as to what is actually happening at the moment

20.01.2022 The tightening of banks lending standards & stricter credit controls should lead to a reduction in demand for properties- Rachel Ong - Professor of Econmonics - we disagree - read more to get the answer
19.01.2022 Always love being involved in our client's journey from first home buyers to second home owners. Well done to Ben & Stacey who sold on Saturday and will now move into their dream home in July. Excellent result by the guys at O'Brien Real Estate Craigieburn - Ricky Goodman-Licensed Estate Agent/Partner - Make sure you choose your agent carefully in this market!
19.01.2022 Crackdown on bank lending through tougher macroprudential policies imminent See the article in the Fin Review today: Basically it's an article to start softening us up to say the regulators are going to make it harder for the banks to lend to investors and possible make all loans P & I. If this happens the property market will slow overnight
16.01.2022 Q4; What are the benefits of using a broker ?
15.01.2022 Super Saturday - Congrats to our successful purchases in Kew, Albion, Elwood, West Footscray, Pascoe Vale South and those vendors that sold in Toorak & Seddon. Hard to purchase when the clearance rate is 80% - bad luck to those that missed out but now for a mini break for 3 weeks until school holidays and off we go again.
14.01.2022 ING putting up rates again, they are a great bank but the cost of funding pressure is real and hear to stay is their comment. nab was last week and we think there will be more to follow. Keep an eye on your rates this year ! Is it time to fix some of your loans ?
14.01.2022 One of the most commonly asked questions: What makes a great investment property........ Four things to consider - proven history of capital growth, scarcity of supply, strong rental yield, low ongoing costs. Our client nailed the brief when they bought this one in 2010. Will be a great investment for the next owners! #investmentproperty #bestinvestment

11.01.2022 more scrutiny, less resources at the bank assessing your deal equals longer time to get an approval
11.01.2022 Hi all, See new restrictions that are about to be imposed on all new Int Only lending (not just Investment) across all lenders, where the LVR is above 80%. Finance may become a problem if you dont have sufficient equity in the cross collateralised property. http://www.abc.net.au//apra-clamps-down-on-interes/8403712
10.01.2022 Port Finance is moving down the road next week to 2/468 St Kilda Rd.
09.01.2022 A note from a very loyal and genuine client. Had to post this in light of outcomes this week Hi Anthony Just a quick message of support. I was disappointed to see good operators like yourself tarred with the same brush by the Commission's sweeping generalisations across the industry. ... My family and I appreciate all of the guidance and assistance you have provided across the years. We will continue to seek your assistance when needed and recommend you to friends and family. Kind Regards Warwick
08.01.2022 Spring is in the air and the trees are starting to blossom. The majors are changing rates and still tightening credit. We are finding more that ever that the non majors are keen to take your business and provide competitive rates. We have over 30 lenders and the team is continually researching policy to get deals set. #brokersarebest
07.01.2022 Perhaps THE most commonly asked question..... when is the right time to BUY?? And therefore when is the best time to SELL? Perhaps now is the right time to do both. Buying and selling in a softening market can often save you thousands if you are changing price ranges, areas, property types etc. History would tell us now is the time to be active in the market. Two sides to every property transaction. #downsizing #upgrading #buyingopportunities
07.01.2022 A great testimonial from clients today "We cant thank Anthony and his team enough. We recently bought our new home which was a daunting task. Having moved around the world for some time, without stable incomes (so not looking super good on paper!), buying a new home was somewhat daunting. We had not idea how to even start this process, but getting Anthony involved made the entire home loan ordeal achievable. He is completely transparent with facts and figures and will not overextend you. The added bonus is that he's sticking around, so you can be assured you have his advice for years to come. We are so excited to have our new house. When you are putting everything you have on the line, honest advice from someone you trust is vital. Anthony gave us all of that." Liz and Ed

05.01.2022 Market still going well in some areas and still strong for certain types of properties. Good luck to one of our clients selling the home they purchased in Glen Iris in 1994. We started working together in 1998!
05.01.2022 Someone has to go first! We have been talking fixed rates for a while now.........might be time?
03.01.2022 The Royal Commission recommended to cease trail payments as of 1 July 2020. Until now, brokers have been paid upfront and trail commission. Put simply, its a small slice of the profit the banks make on your mortgage which can either go directly to the bank or us the broker. Its is important to highlight that the borrowers interest rate is not inflated by going to a broker. Its costs less to pay brokers via the current upfront and trail commission structure than banks emp...loy staff and process the loan internally. So why the change? Port Finance have built a business on providing customer service over and above the banks and take great pride in trying to be as responsive, caring and available to review, research and connect during the lending phase of your life. We have clients that have been with us for 20 years and continue to help grow their property portfolios, provide strategic direction and guidance. This is what we see the value in being paid a trail commission and with the new recommendations to phase this payment out, we will need time to reflect on how we can uphold this level of service. The bottom line- less choice and more power to the majors #borrowerlosesout. #loans #interestrates #banking #commission
03.01.2022 We now deal with Victoria Teachers Mutual Bank. This is great news for anyone that works in the education sector as we can get really competitive rates.
02.01.2022 Here is a lovely note from one of our many nice clients Dear Anthony & Tiffany, Thank you so much for all your help with Cotham Road, you have both made this process so seamless for me! Enjoy the gift from me Kindest ... Angelique See more
