25.01.2022 Great day of information and opportunity to catch up with multiple lenders. Still some excellent rates and deals for all borrowers.

24.01.2022 Congratulations to more happy clients enjoying their new home and new car. A very lovely family. Finance all arranged through TFS. Cant wait for the housewarming.

24.01.2022 Just a note to my clients and friends that its still business as usual at TFS. At the moment with all thats going on, if you are affected by job loss or reduced income, please contact me, or direct to your Lender, as most Lenders have special support offerings available including repayment holidays. With rates at an all time low, and fixed rates from 2.29%, it most certainly could be a very good time to review your current lending and see if there are saving to be had. Call Peter on 04 3141 8343, and stay safe everyone.

23.01.2022 Great information session with lenders from AMP, Adelaide Bank and ING. Some very good niches and opportunities to provide solutions to every client.

23.01.2022 So for the first time in at least my memory, the RBA has made a second cut to the Cash rate in the same month. Now down to 0.25%. For mortgage holders this should provide more easing of monthly repayments, but little affect for those renting or living at home and working. If you or your family or friends are impacted by this virus situation and are unable to make your loan repayments due to reduced or lost income, please immediately speak with your Lender, as many now are offering financial support packages.

23.01.2022 Congratulations to Carey & Tay-Lay on the purchase of their first home. A lovely young couple who have bright futures ahead of themselves. All the best.

22.01.2022 Interesting article about what Aussies value most about where they live. Only 2 States/Territories didnt feel the need to put Safety top of list. What is your main priority that determines why you want to live??

20.01.2022 As expected and as Ive prepositioned my clients, RBA has dropped the cash rate to 1.25%. New record low. Still think we have another one due, most likely August.

19.01.2022 This unfortunately is not a joke. This is real. This is happening. This is a result of wanting increased regulation and accountability. However a good Broker will be able to explain and structure your finance application so as to minimise these issues.

18.01.2022 Well that was a surprise. RBA reduced cash rate again for second month in a row. Something they havent done in many years. Hopefully now the regulators will allow the Lenders to reduce their serviceability rates, and this will then actually see consumers able to borrow more accurately, rather than being tied to a rate were unlikely to see for the foreseeable future.

16.01.2022 When this virus issue ends, and it will, - - every AFL & NRL match will sell out, every restaurant will have a two hour wait, every kid will be GLAD to be in school, everyone will love their job, and the $$$ will roll back in. Pubs will be full, gigs will be plentiful and well kiss, embrace and shake hands. Thats gonna be a good day... Hang in there.

16.01.2022 So unsurprisingly the RBA dropped the cash rate again. What is surprising is how many Lenders are also passing on that full 0.25% cut. With residential rates now well under 3% available, Id love to do a free home loan review for you or or friends. Call me for a chat.

15.01.2022 For all those who have friends and family telling them that we are heading for a huge recession with a bigger impact than the GFC, maybe listen to someone with some expertise.. Are we in a recession? Technically, yes. Is it going to be as bad as the 2008 GFC, NO. Remember, even before the Covid virus situation, Australia was already heading for recession based on employment data, inflation data, consumer confidence (or lack thereof), and our exposure to overseas markets. But... this isnt as bad as 2008, and we will be out of this sooner rather than later. Dont listen to the commercial media for financial advice. Its in their interest to make things out to be terrible to keep you watching and increase their ratings and revenue. https://switzer.com.au//put-away-the-razor-blades-the-re/ "The bottom line is that this recession will be short-term severe, but policies such as the JobKeeper wage subsidy and others will help us rebound out of this recession faster than many doomsday merchants and media types would like."

14.01.2022 Taking a week deserved break at the GC600 thanks to Douglas Financial Planning. Epic spot.

14.01.2022 Welcome to Friday. What better place for the first client meeting.

13.01.2022 Well just ticked over 4 years working for myself as a Finance Broker. Its so rewarding being able to assist clients by offering a greater range of solutions than you would otherwise be able to provide when you work at just one Bank. Building relationships with clients that sees return business is so gratifying, as are the comments of appreciation when youve helped them realise a goal, a dream, or simply to help them along their financial journey. Wouldnt have been able t...o stick it out this long without the help of family, friends, and some great clients and business relationships. If you have any family members, friends or work colleagues that you think could benefit from a financial review of their home or personal lending situation, or needing some advise on how to consolidate their debts or get into the housing market, please have them call me, or give them my name & number for a no obligation chat, 7 days a week. Thank you everyone, and heres to more happy outcomes and financial solutions. Peter Taffe Taffe Financial Solutions

11.01.2022 Starting your day in a better place? Let me know.

10.01.2022 Its business as usual here at TFS ... albeit with some additional precautions....

10.01.2022 So finally got our new website up and running. Big thanks to David and the team at HeadlineAd for their assistance. Let us know what you think of it

09.01.2022 So much to my surprise, the Gov is dipping into the coffers and pulling out some big money for first home buyers and those doing big home renos. If you or any family members are looking to get into the market and buy new, this is probably as good as its going to get. Call us for a free assessment of your borrowing power.... Key points of the government announcement: HomeBuyers grant $25,000 Available for new home builds valued at $750,000 or under. Also available for renovations $150,000 and over, on property valued at under $1.5M Income test: singles earning under $125,000 pa, and couples under $200,000 pa Available on contracts signed between 4 June 2020 and 31 December 2020 First home buyers can now access the $25,000 HomeBuyers grant and the $15,000 QLD first home owners grant on new property, as well as the First Home Low Deposit Scheme FHLDS (more being released 1 July 2020).

08.01.2022 Whos got a better place to start their day ?? Hap Friday everyone.

07.01.2022 As Ive mentioned to many clients for the last 18 months, the likelihood of the RBA increasing the cash rate in 2018 wasnt going to happen, and most likely not 2019, and quite possibly not until mid 2020. Now news from WBC Chief Economist confirms this is a strongly possible outcome.

05.01.2022 Another repeat client whos just taken delivery of their new Ford Ranger. Congrats Laurence and the team at Prime Air Solutions PtyLtd. Glad to have helped you. Enjoy the new ride.

04.01.2022 Big congratulations to David whose just completed final builder payment and taken delivery of his first home. Glad to have been able to help you on this journey David.

04.01.2022 Having let the dust settle a bit after Ken Hayne made his recommendations on the Banking, Superannuation & Financial Misconduct Royal Commission. It is now apparent that, from a Finance Broker point of view, the outcome of these recommendations is poorly thought out at best, and complete incompetence at worst on Ken Haynes part. The recommendation that the customer pay the Broker will result only in a win for the big banks. the very businesses that were the subject of the ...initial inquiry. When the major lenders are unable to approve loans for various reasons, be it low savings, poor credit history, casual employment, short term employment, or tough credit policy, it takes a Broker to determine which of the dozens of other smaller lenders would be able to assist. The average person doesnt know there are other lenders who have better rates, better credit policies, better servicing options. This is where the Broker earns their income, in determining which lender best suits the clients requirements, and will achieve the ultimate goal, be it lower repayments, better borrowing capacity, or simply to get into their first home. The Numbers:- Based on research by Momentum Intelligence group; 96% of borrowers are very satisfied with their Broker. Only 67% are satisfied with their Bank. 79% of borrowers have no issue with the Broker remuneration at present. 59% of Australian Home Loans are now completed through the help of Mortgage Brokers. 96% of borrowers would not pay a "fee for service". The last figure confirms that if the current or new Government implement the recommendations of Ken Hayne, then there will be reduced Broker numbers, because they wont be getting paid. This will result in borrowers unable to get those loans previously sourced and settled by Brokers. It will result in borrowers needing to do their own homework, their own research, their own understanding of lender policy. It will require borrowers to go back to attending the bank branch between Monday & Friday, between 9.30 & 4pm. And if that doesnt suit the borrower, then tough. It will result in borrowers needing to make multiple applications for finance until they hopefully get an approval, resulting in a reduction to their Credit Score. The flow on from brokers leaving the industry impacts not only borrowers, but the smaller lenders who rely primarily on brokers for their business. Result - staff losses. It impacts the property market as those property sales, which only happened due to a Broker being able to get the loan approval, will no longer occur. Result - non-sale, no Agent income, no sale for the Vendor. Please support your local Finance Broker. Say yes to competition. Say yes to small business. Say yes to choice.
