๐Ÿฉบ 3 signs your home loan needs a check up

When did you last actually look at your loan?

It might be due if any of these sound familiar ๐Ÿ‘‡

1๏ธโƒฃ You have not reviewed it in two years or more.
A lot changes in two years. Rates, lenders, property values and your own position.

2๏ธโƒฃ Your lender has moved your rate a few times and you are not sure what you are paying any more.
You are definitely not alone.

3๏ธโƒฃ Your financial position has improved since you borrowed.
More income, more equity, less other debt. That could mean more options are open to you now.

๐Ÿฆ A health check does not automatically mean refinancing.

Our first step is to go back to your existing lender and see what they will do. If that is not competitive, we compare the alternatives and work out whether moving is genuinely worth it.

๐Ÿ“ฉ Want to know how healthy your loan is? Send us a message.

๐ŸŽ‰ Fun fact Friday

Time for something a bit less serious.

Did you know... Mark used to be a chef? He even won a national cooking competition back in the day.

Now your turn.

Tell us one random fact about you in the comments ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ’ผ Complicated income? We have got you.

Contract work. Overtime. Side hustles. Trusts. Business income.

Honestly, is there even such a thing as standard income any more? ๐Ÿค”

The good news is there are lenders who understand that income does not always arrive as one neat PAYG salary.

Think:

๐Ÿ’ผ Contract, casual or temporary work
๐Ÿ’ฐ Allowances and overtime
โœˆ๏ธ FIFO income
๐Ÿก Airbnb income
๐Ÿš— Rideshare and side hustles
๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Self employed sole traders
๐Ÿข Trusts and company structures
๐Ÿ“ˆ Dividends and business profits

And the list goes on.

โœจ This is where a good broker earns their keep. We pull your income apart, work out how each lender will assess it, and match you with the ones whose policies actually suit.

Because the question is rarely whether you earn enough. It is which lender understands how you earn it.

Helps that we prepare the financials too, so we already know your numbers inside out.

๐Ÿ’ก Thinking about an investment property? Your equity might already be the deposit.

If you own a home, some of the equity you have built could help fund your next purchase. ๐Ÿก

A simple example ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”‘ Current home value: $800,000
๐Ÿ”‘ Current loan: $400,000
๐Ÿ”‘ 80% of the property value: $640,000

๐Ÿ‘‰ Potential usable equity: $640,000 less $400,000 = $240,000

That equity could go towards the deposit and purchase costs on an investment property. ๐Ÿš€

Of course, equity is only one piece of it.

โœจ We also need to look at:

1๏ธโƒฃ Your borrowing capacity
2๏ธโƒฃ Your loan structure
3๏ธโƒฃ Cash flow
4๏ธโƒฃ Your investment goals
5๏ธโƒฃ The property you have in mind

And because we do the tax work too, we can talk through ownership structure and cash flow at the same time.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Want to know how much equity you could access? Message us and we will run the numbers.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Just want a better rate on your home loan?

You may not need to refinance to get one.

Our first move is always to go back to your current lender and push for a better rate.

If what they come back with is not good enough, then we shop around and compare the rest of the market.

And we do the maths. ๐Ÿงฎ

That means looking at:

๐Ÿ’ฐ The interest you would actually save
๐Ÿ’ณ Changeover costs and fees
๐Ÿ“‹ What the application involves
๐Ÿฆ The features and structure of the new loan

Because refinancing should leave you better off, not just give you a shinier advertised rate.

โœจ Sometimes the best refinance is the one you never have to do.

๐Ÿ“ฉ Want to know whether your rate is still competitive? Send us a message.

๐Ÿก Loan jargon you actually need to know

Buying property is confusing enough without an alphabet soup of acronyms.

Here are the three you will hear constantly ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”น LVR, or loan to value ratio
How much you are borrowing compared with what the property is worth.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Loan amount รท property value ร— 100
Example: $480,000 loan รท $600,000 property = 80% LVR

๐Ÿ”น DTI, or debt to income ratio
How your total debt compares with your annual income.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Example: income $100,000, total debt $600,000, so DTI = 6.
Every lender sets its own limits and assessment rules for higher DTIs.

๐Ÿ”น LMI, or lenders mortgage insurance
Usually applies when you borrow more than 80% of the property value. And here is the bit that surprises people: it protects the lender, not you.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Example: on a $600,000 purchase with a 10% deposit, LMI could cost around $12,000 to $15,000.

โœจ Still confused? That is what we are here for. We will skip the bank speak and tell you what the numbers actually mean for you.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Message us and let's talk through your borrowing options.
