24.01.2022 You want to know what day us finance nerds get excited about every month? It's the RBA announcement day. And while everyone might not find the announcement as thrilling as we do, it IS important and could very well impact you. Let me explain why:... Alrighty, so first up, let's get clear on what the RBA is (and does). RBA stands for Reserve Bank of Australia. It's Australia's central bank and banknote issuing authority. It dictates the cash rate, which influences interest rates to ensure that Australia's economic growth is controlled. The RBA sets the cash rate on the first Tuesday of every month, except January. They decide whether to hold, raise or lower it the cash rate. This decision depends on several factors, including the performance of the Australian dollar, the state of the housing market, and inflation. This month, the RBA delivered the third cash rate cut this year. Cutting it from 0.25% to a new record low of 0.10%. So what does the RBA cash rate cut mean for you? Well, if you have a home loan, a cash rate drop could have a significant impact on your wallet. Depending on your loan type, if your bank decides to pass the rate cut onto borrowers, you could potentially save money, because your repayments will decrease. If you're looking to apply for a home loan, the market is very competitive at the moment, and rates are LOW, so you could snag a great deal. You should take advantage of the rush to cut rates by some lenders. I recommend you explore the market for competitive rates. Because there really is no point paying more interest than you need to

22.01.2022 We honestly can't even really believe how low home loan interest rates are at the moment. There are some AMAZING home loan rates around at the moment including this one. Here are the details: 1.89% fixed for two years Comparison rate - 2.94%... Imagine how much you could save on your monthly repayments with this kind of rate This is an example of just one of the low home loan deals our lender partners are offering. DM us or send us an email [email protected] to find out whether you can secure a lower home loan interest rate. #howmuchcaniborrow #personalfinance #homeloanexperts #homeloantips #savemoneytips #melbournemortgagebrokers #womeninfinance #womeninbusinesss #melbournepropertymarket #buildwealthwithrealestate #morningtonpeninsula #mornington #findyourwaymorningtonpeninsula #visitmorningtonpeninsula #frankston #supportlocal #lovethepen #digitalmasterchef #officialmorningtonpeninsula #shoplocal #mornpen #smallbusiness #unlockthepeninsula #morningtonpeninsulamums #morningtonpeninsulabusiness #mounteliza #mornpenbizchicks #mpkickasscollective #yourdreamstartshere #dreamhomemovement

16.01.2022 Do you ever cringe a little when you look at old photos? There's a funny story behind this 5+ year old photo. The photo's from our business start-up days. Now, Carl looks great in my opinion, he's not the embarrassing part of the photo. The embarrassing bit is the logo right there on the sign he's holding. You see I (Jo) chose the logo, and I went cheap. We were in the start-up phase, I was on maternity leave, so we were watching our outgoings carefully. ... I (unwittingly) purchased the logo from a stock logo website for $50. Turns out several other businesses had the EXACT SAME logo, inlcuding the local pest extreminator When I discovered this, I quickly decided it was time for a rebrand and engaged Leanne from @oracoagency to create a beautiful brand style guide and logo that aligns with who we are. From there, as the business grew, we invested in some profesional photography. These changes helped us start to feel like the quality of our service and our business ethos was being accurately communicated to the world. #husbandandwife #husbandandwifeteam #husbandandwifeforlife #smallbusinessowner #familybusiness #supportsmall #supportlocal #mornpenbizchicks #truelove #morningtonpeninsulabusinesswomen #violetafinance #yourdreamstartshere #digitalmasterchef #mpkickasscollective #morningtonpeninsula #frankston #womeninbusiness #yourdreamstartshere #dreambig #goaldigger #morningtonpeninsulasmallbusiness #mortgagebrokermelbourne #mortgagebrokermorningtonpeninsula #mortgagebrokerfrankston #melbournebroker #personalfinance #filipinoinmelbourne #startupbusiness

16.01.2022 Would you (or in fact do you) work with your partner? The other week we celebrated our wedding anniversary Around the same time Dom from Social Swell released an episode of the Your Biz Podcast with me (Jo) talking about how we make running our business together work. Now, I'm no relationship expert but here's what works for us: Be clear on what your roles are and trust each other's expertise... We have very distinct roles and work to our strengths. For example, I manage our marketing. Although I might consult with Carl, I have the final say over what happens in my area of the business and he has faith in my judgement. Likewise, Carl is in charge of looking after our clients and the entire credit analysis and loan application process. Speak to each other with kindness Owning a business is a high pressure endeavour. It can be easy to take your stress out on each other. Speaking to one another with professional respect and human kindness defuses high stress situations. Sounds obvious, but it's super effective. Have business free conversations When we started the business I was high on hope and enthusiasm. I had so many ideas and I wanted to talk about them (constantly) and implement them (like yesterday). This level of intensity helped boost our business quickly but wasn't sustainable for me personally or for our relationship. Taking a breath and finding a non-business space in our partnership has kept us and our business strong.

15.01.2022 Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 'totally precedented' New Year

12.01.2022 Can I get a home loan when I'm on maternity leave? Short answer - It depends. It depends on the bank/lender you apply with and their policy. Some banks will use the income you'll receive when you return to work as part of their assessment. They'll want to see that you have enough savings and/or paid maternity leave to cover your living expenses until you return to work. ... It’s better to apply for a home loan or mortgage refinance while you’re pregnant and still working rather than while on leave, if possible. Image description: Jo is pregnant, she's smiling and standing in front of a fridge. There's a vacuum just casually hanging out in the background. Jo's wearing a stripy dress, she's glowing on the outside but riding the wretched waves on morning sickness on the inside. #homeloans #financetips

12.01.2022 Well, this was quite the surprise We've received the PLAN Australia Excellence in Finance Gold award for 2020. It's been a tough year, and we had big goals at the start of this year, huge plans, high hopes, you know. But then with COVID-19, we abandoned all of our KPIs. Here's what we focused on instead:... Getting through each day Keeping the business going and making sure our staff were alright Looking after our clients Sharing COVID related property finance news in our signature jargon-free, easy to understand, relatable style Balancing remote learning and working (hello 5 am starts) Digitising our service offering And of course, we were (as always) committed to delivering knock your socks off customer service Although we didn't achieve our lofty goals this is what we did achieve, we made it, we're okay, we helped our clients in every way we could, we taught our five year old preppie to read, and our customer service standard didn't slip. So thanks PLAN for the award we truly appreciate it, it's a lovely way to end the year. Now onwards and upwards and please 2021 can you be more precedented? #mornpenbizchicks #yourdreamstartshere #morningtonpeninsula #mortgagebroker #realestate #home #homeowner #mpkickasscollective #morningtonpeninsulabusinesswomen #peninsulahome #financialliteracy #mindfulmoneymummy #familyfinances #familybudget #moneytips #homeloan #homeloans #homeloanspecialist #homeloansmadesimple #homeloanexperts #homeloanhelp #womeninfinance #commercialloan #businessloans #personalfinance #financetips #refinanceandrenovate #homeloansaustralia #investmentproperty #propertyinvesting

10.01.2022 It's SOOOOOO very important to get advice from the RIGHT people. So important, seriously. Your Uncle Wayne might be lovely, but he's not necessarily the right person to advise you on whether or not to get an offset account. Your Auntie Carol, super smart, but she may not be the person to go to for advice on how to structure your property investment loan.... Your neighbour Bob, might be getting a great interest rate on HIS home loan, but that particular home loan might not be suited to you, and hey, you might not even be eligible for it. We think you get where we're going with this... When you ask for advice on something serious, you need to make sure the person giving the advice has the qualifications, experience and knowledge [on that particular topic] to give that advice. And, hey, you know what, we reckon that buying a house is pretty serious. It's one of [if not THE] biggest purchases of your life so you need to be sure you have an expert guiding you through the process [or even a team of experts] They need to be qualified experienced licenced respected and have plenty of genuine glowing reviews So, if you're looking to buy a home or investment property, or you need help securing business finance, seek out an excellent, trusted Mortgage Broker [we'd be more than happy to help you] and we have a network of trusted professionals we can refer you to. #mornpenbizchicks #property #melbourneproperty #peninsulaproperty #yourdreamstartshere #morningtonpeninsula #morningtonpeninsulabusinesswomen #mpkickasscollective #homeowner #morningtonpeninsulamums #womeninbusiness #homeowner #firsthomebuyer #firsthomebuyers #homeloanspecialist #financecoach #financegoals #propertygoals #dreamhome #moneytips #familybudget #money #digitalmasterchef

03.01.2022 A big goal for many people is to buy an investment property, however, it can also feel a bit out of reach like it's just too big of a goal. Plus it can be overwhelming and confusing so you can end up feeling like this dream will never come true. A lot of the time that's just not true, with the right advice, guidance and a good solid strategy in place, it can be a reality for many people. In the latest episode of our podcast Dream Home Movement Jo chat's with Katie Marshall, t...he founder of Chicks and Mortar and author of ‘Chicks and Mortar - A Woman's Guide to investing in property’. Katie is a Certified Property Investment Adviser with the Property Investment Association of Australia.

02.01.2022 Excuse the awkward photo, but I've got some good, goooooood news for home buyers in Victoria. Yesterday the Victorian Government made their Budget 2020/21 announcement. As part of the budget they announced a stamp duty waiver of up to 50% for residential homes valued at up to $1 million. ... The waiver's for residential property contracts entered into from 25 November to 30 June 2021. Newly built or "off-the-plan" homes, will be eligible for a 50% waiver. Existing homes will be eligible for a 25% waiver. Stamp Duty is a huge expense for homebuyers. In fact, my wife Jo and I are looking to upgrade and are in the market to buy right now. This stamp duty waiver will make a huge difference for us and for many of our clients. Meanwhile, the New South Wales Government is considering giving home buyers the choice to pay either stamp duty and land tax (where applicable) or a new smaller annual property tax. We'll have our fingers crossed that this change goes ahead. #mornpenbizchicks #morningtonpeninsula #homeowner #mpkickasscollective #morningtonpeninsulabusinesswomen #peninsulahome #financialliteracy #familyfinances #familybudget #digitalmasterchef #personalfinance #personalfinancetips #ilovefrankston #morningtonpeninsula #supportlocal #yourdreamstartshere #dreamhomemovement #morningtonpeninsulamums #melbournerealestate #sydneyrealestate #propertymarket #propertyinvestment
