🎙️ Borrowing capacity is NOT the strategy.

Your borrowing capacity only tells you one thing…

The ceiling. 🏠📈

It tells you how much you could borrow - not how much you should borrow.

And that’s where so many investors get caught.

The investors who scale to 6, 8 or even 10 properties are not the ones maxing themselves out at every step.

They are the ones protecting their options, structuring their finance properly, and planning the next move before they make the first one. 🔑

In this episode of Finance This, Property That, Dion breaks down why the right finance strategy can be the difference between getting stuck… and building a portfolio that keeps moving.

Episode 97 is OUT NOW!

Two investors can have the same borrowing capacity today… but end up in completely different positions five years from now. 🏠📈

One might build a portfolio of 3, 4, 5 or even 6 properties…

While the other gets stuck at one or two.

So what’s the difference?

It comes down to how they deploy their borrowing capacity, which lender they use first, how the debt is structured, and the order they buy in. 🔑

In this episode of Finance This, Property That, Dion breaks down why sequencing and strategy matter so much when building a property portfolio.

Because buying property is one thing…

Building a portfolio that actually grows is another. 👊

➡️ A rooming house in Brisbane returns $2,000 to $2,200 a week.
➡️ A standard five-bedroom house on a single lease returns around $1,000.
➡️ Same suburb, different structure, very different return.
➡️ Five rooms. Five separate leases.
➡️ Each room has its own ensuite and kitchenette, managed by a professional who knows the model.

🟠 The yield is not the hardest part.
🟠 How you structure and acquire it is.
🟠 You cannot put a rooming house on any block. It has to sit in a council area that approves them and every council has different restrictions.
🟠 Buy outside that and you have bought without real due diligence.

That is the line between a strategy and an expensive mistake.

Your first investment property does more than get you into the market.

It can shape every decision that comes after it.

In this reel, Dion explains why purchase one can either open doors for purchase two, slow you down, or stop you completely, depending on how the finance is structured from the start.

The lender you choose, how the repayments are set up, whether you pay lender’s mortgage insurance, your renovation plans, and your long-term property goals all matter.

Most first-time investors are so focused on getting the deal done that they miss the bigger picture.

That’s why working with a broker who thinks beyond the first purchase can make a massive difference to your portfolio journey.

A proper property plan is more than just borrowing capacity and pre-approval.

In this reel, Dion breaks down how the Portfolio Blueprint brings the finance strategy and property strategy together, so investors can clearly see where they are now, where they want to go, and how they are going to get there.

No messy spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just a professional plan built around your goals.

If you want to grow your property portfolio with more clarity and confidence, this is where the strategy starts.

Episode 96 of Finance This, Property That is out now 🎙️🏡

In this solo episode, Dion breaks down why your first property purchase can have a major impact on every property decision that follows.

A lot of investors treat their first home or first investment property as the goal, but if you are planning to build a portfolio, it needs to be treated as the foundation.

Dion explains how lender choice, debt structure, LMI, repayment setup, equity strategy and the team around you can either help you move towards property two and three, or quietly slow you down before you even realise it.

He also shares the three key questions every first purchase needs to answer, plus what to do if your first property was not structured correctly.

If you are buying your first property, planning your next investment, or feeling stuck after one or two purchases, this episode is worth a listen.

Get educated first.

That was the biggest takeaway from Jem Corrish after looking back on his first property journey, 12 months on from buying with his mate, Tom.

Before you jump in, ask the real questions:

Can I do it?

If not, when can I do it?

What do I need to work towards?

And most importantly - why am I doing it?

Because property is not just about buying something and hoping it works out. It’s about having a purpose behind the purchase, knowing what role that property plays, and building a plan around where you want to go.

Jem’s story is proof that when you get educated, surround yourself with the right people, and have a crack, property can become a serious stepping stone for your future.

Buying your first home doesn’t always mean buying the home you’re going to live in.

For a lot of first home buyers, especially those still living at home with mum and dad, it may actually make more sense to look at an investment property first.

In this episode of Finance This, Property That, Luke and Jem talk about the different options first home buyers often don’t know exist - from guarantor support to investment property lending policies and why going straight to one bank can limit what you’re told.

Because if that bank doesn’t offer the policy you need, they’re probably not going to tell you another lender does.

That’s why having a broker matters.

With access to a wide range of lenders and policies, the right broker can help you understand what’s actually possible before you rule yourself out of the market.
