Are you worried about borrowing too much and being stuck in financial strife forever?
In order to decipher whether you have the financial means to meet your needs you can use financial calculators to determine the right budget and strategy. To do so you should calculate your loan repayments, stamp duty, mortgage switching and whether it makes more sense for you to rent or to buy a home.

There is a broad range of finance products and features in Australia’s lending marketplace that may seem complex and overwhelming to you when you are looking to borrow. If you’re interested in calculating your budget but feel overwhelmed, contact Taking Control today for all your financial guidance.

What exactly are the benefits of using a mortgage broker? It’s easy for anyone to Google ‘low interest rates’ and find lenders; however, working with a mortgage broker can give you a substantial EDGE over your competitors! ⁣

Mortgage brokers know lenders' loan criteria, allowing us to assess which will be the right fit for your budget and requirements⁣. We can help you get the pre-approval needed so you can bid or negotiate with confidence.

⁣Mortgage brokers can also direct you to the right people (buyers' agents, financial advisers, RE agents) so you have the best support network around you. ⁣If buying property is one of your goals for 2023 then speak to a Taking Control mortgage broker to ensure that you’ll be steps ahead of other buyers! ⁣

🚫🕵️‍♂️ Don't be a victim of fraud! Here's what to do if you think you've been hacked:

1️⃣ Keep Evidence: Take screenshots, save emails, or jot down details to document the incident.

2️⃣ Lock Your Card: Contact your bank immediately to freeze your card and prevent further unauthorised transactions.

3️⃣ Check for Device Compromise: Ensure your devices are secure by updating and scanning for malware or vulnerabilities.

4️⃣ Contact Retailers: Get in touch with the retailers where fraud occurred to report the issue and protect your accounts.

5️⃣ Prevention is Key: Remember, prevention is always better than a cure! 🔒 Use strong, unique passwords for each account and employ a reliable password manager to keep track.
