Tomorrow is Vietnam Veterans' Day. 🇦🇺

Sixty years ago, on 18 August 1966, a group of Australians fought at Long Tan.

The part that sticks with me is what came after. A lot of them came home quietly, to a country that didn't much want to talk about where they'd been. No parade. No thanks. It took decades to start putting that right.

If you know a Vietnam veteran, tomorrow's a good day to pick up the phone.

Lest we forget.

What a home loan actually costs each month 👇

$400k → $2,398
$500k → $2,998
$600k → $3,597
$700k → $4,197

That's the number people guess at, and guessing is what stops them starting.

Send this to whoever's guessing.

Based on 6.00% p.a. principal and interest over 30 years. Example only, not a quote or an offer.

$30k deposit. Here's how long it actually takes 👇

$100/wk → 5.8 yrs
$200/wk → 2.9 yrs
$300/wk → 1.9 yrs
$400/wk → 1.4 yrs

Most people never do this sum. They just assume it's out of reach.

Save this if you're building a deposit.

Worked example only: a 5% deposit on a $600,000 home, straight savings, no interest counted. Eligibility rules apply.

You don't need $100k. 🏡

A 5% deposit on a $600,000 place is $30,000. Not $120,000. That's the number that stops most people before they even start.

If you've been saving towards a number someone made up, send me a message and let's work out your real one. 👌

Ever noticed your bank only ever offers you... your bank?

That's the catch. Walk into one lender and you get one answer, one product, one rate. And they'll never tell you if someone down the road would look after you better.

That's the whole reason a broker exists. I compare dozens of lenders, I work for you and not for them, and I go and find the one that actually fits.

Lately a fair few lenders have been sharpening their rates too, and most of those deals are aimed at NEW customers, not loyal ones. So if you haven't looked at your loan in a while, it's worth a fresh set of eyes.

The first chat is the easy part. Send me a message whenever you're ready. 🏡
