📄 Could your home loan pre-approval be out of date? 📄⁣
⁣
Mortgage pre-approval can potentially be an advantageous move for home buyers. 🏡⁣
⁣
But recent rate hikes could leave your pre-approval in need of an update. ⁣
⁣
Not only does pre-approval have a limited time span, usually 3–6 months, but it can also be impacted by rising rates. ⏱️⁣
⁣
Canstar says just one 0.25% rate cut can reduce a single home buyer’s borrowing power by $12,000. ⁣
⁣
That means a couple's borrowing power could have been reduced by more than $72,000 since the three cash rate hikes earlier this year. ⚠️⁣
⁣
The last thing you need is to discover you can’t finance the place you want to buy because of higher rates. ⁣
⁣
Talk to us to bring your loan pre-approval up to date - and potentially find ways to improve your borrowing power. 👇⁣

📈 Is buying an investment property earlier the key to building wealth? 📈⁣
⁣
Regrets? One-in-three Aussie investors say they regret not investing earlier. 😬⁣
⁣
And perhaps for good reason...⁣
⁣
Finder research shows people who started investing in their 30s are 46% wealthier than those who waited until their 40s.⁣
⁣
That’s because investment returns can compound over time. 🔄⁣
⁣
Just look at property: 45% gains in the last five years alone! ⁣
⁣
And while past performance is not an indication of future performance, historically speaking, the national property market has delivered consistent long-term growth.🏡⁣
⁣
Of course, with all things investment related, please seek independent financial advice to consider all your options.⁣
⁣
But if you do decide to invest in property, consider contacting us to explore your investment loan options. 👇⁣
