If a unit looks cheap, there's usually a reason β€” and nine times out of ten it's the strata levies.

I've had multiple clients recently fall for the same thing. Low purchase price, high ongoing costs. The numbers only make sense once you dig a little deeper.

Always check the strata before you get excited about the price. πŸ‘‡

Save this one if you're currently searching for a unit. πŸ™Œ

Biggest deposit = best move? Not always.

I borrowed more on my 2023 purchase to keep cash in my pocket β€” and I'd make the same call again every time.

Stay liquid. It matters more than people think. πŸ’°

Not all negative gearing strategies look the same.

If you've got a positively geared portfolio, buying established could be the smarter move β€” offset the losses and reduce your tax bill across the board.
Talk to your accountant. πŸ™Œ

Here’s a snapshot of what we helped finance in May 🏑

From up-sizers needing more space, to investors growing their portfolios, and clients securing land for future builds, it was another busy month for the Riz Finance team.

Behind every approval is a different goal, strategy, lender choice, and long-term plan.

The recent Federal Budget includes changes that may affect homeowners, first-home buyers, investors, and future borrowers. If you’re unsure what it means for you, we’re here to help πŸ“ˆ

Thinking about buying property inside your SMSF? There are a few rules that catch people off guard every single time.

14 years in banking and finance taught me these the hard way β€” so you don't have to.

Drop a βœ… in the comments if you knew all 5.

Perth up 91% in 5 years. Melbourne up just 3.3%. Same country. Same time period. 🀯⁠
⁠
Australia's housing market is more divided than ever β€” and the latest Cotality data shows momentum is starting to shift. Headwinds are building. Are we at a turning point?⁠
⁠
For years, the story was simple: property goes up. Maybe not everywhere, maybe not at the same pace β€” but the direction was clear.⁠
⁠
That story is getting complicated.⁠
⁠
Sydney and Melbourne are sliding off their peaks. Auction clearance rates are hovering around 50%. Listings are piling up and buyers β€” for once β€” have options. Affordability is still stretched, rates are still high, and consumer confidence is still in the basement.⁠
⁠
But zoom out and the picture gets messier. Perth has nearly doubled in five years. Darwin is surging. Regional Australia is quietly grinding higher. Rents are still rising nationally, with vacancy rates back at record lows. ⁠
⁠
Two Australia's. One tightening. One turning.⁠
⁠
And if you're a first home buyer? This might be your moment. 🏠⁠
⁠
More listings. Less competition. Vendors negotiating. Clearance rates softening. The frenzied, blink-and-you'll-miss-it market of recent years has cooled β€” and the buyers who kept getting outbid, overlooked and outpriced are finally getting a seat at the table.⁠
⁠
The market isn't waiting for confidence to return. The window is open now.⁠
Are you a first home buyer watching this market? Drop a πŸ™‹ below β€” we'd love to help you make sense of it all.⁠

Applying for the Home Guarantee Scheme? Here's what banks actually want to see πŸ‘‡

Most lenders require genuine savings β€” and a lump sum that appeared last week won't cut it.

Here's what counts:

βœ… Savings built up in a bank account over 3+ months
βœ… Term deposits held for 3+ months
βœ… Shares or managed funds held for 3+ months
βœ… Consistent rental history as supporting evidence

The 3 months starts from today β€” not from when you find a property. Start your savings paper trail now. Save this and send it to a first home buyer who needs to see it. 🏠

Every cost you'll pay when buying your first home in Sydney 🏠 β€” including the two you can get to $0.

βœ… Stamp duty β€” $0 if you buy under $800k
βœ… Conveyancing β€” $2,000–$2,500
βœ… Building & pest β€” $600 (never skip this)
βœ… LMI β€” $0 if you qualify for the Home Guarantee Scheme
βœ… Bank fees β€” $500

Most first home buyers overpay because they don't know their entitlements. Save this so you don't. πŸ‘‡

Nobody told my client it would cost $1.6 million. 😳

He budgeted for land and a build. What he didn't budget for? The $90k upgrade blowout. The $164k in externals.

The costs that only show up after you've already committed.

This is why I always tell people β€” the price on the brochure is just the starting point.

Everyone talks about the flights and cocktails… no one talks about the mortgage still waiting for you back home πŸ’Έβ˜€οΈπŸ‘

So how much does a Euro summer really cost when you’re paying off a home loan?
