So, you’ve been working hard, clocking up some overtime, getting serious about your side hustle, winning more clients, or slowly climbing the corporate ladder.

Your salary is healthier than ever, yet it’s not as though you’re saving, investing, or donating more.

Where has it gone?

Think gym memberships that never get used, extra streaming services that aren’t needed, more meals out.

The antidote? A budget!

Who's tried a budget that hasn't stuck? Who loves budgeting? Who can't think of anything worse?

Buy now, pay later services have proven to be one of the most popular disruptors to traditional credit cards!

If a new home loan is on the horizon for you, keep in mind some lenders will view your Afterpay account as an ongoing credit facility (like a credit card), which may impact how much they're willing to lend you.

It all depends on your circumstances, and which lender you end up applying with.

Lucky for you, we have a lot of insight into the closely-guarded policies banks use to base their decision on whether to say Yay or Nay to your home loan application.

Get in touch if you're applying for a loan and want help putting your best foot forward.

First Home Buyers are my fave!!!

I get to see lots of interesting properties, lots of exciting upgrades, complicated scenarios and sometimes I am around for the whole long term property journey.

But I always tell my customers, nothing is as exciting as your first!! Sometimes I’m even jealous I’ll never get this rush again…

Super pumped to put this young family in their first home this week 🏡👏☺️

Rentvesting is where you buy a property but live elsewhere (in a rental).

It's not a bad way to get into the market, because it means you get to lock in today’s prices without being locked into living in the same place 'forever'.

Who's considering buying an investment property before their first home?

While the idea of creating and sticking to a budget might seem restrictive, it actually brings freedom and clarity.

Done right, budgeting can enhance your life by aligning your spending with your values and goals.

Using tools like budgeting apps can simplify and automate the process, so it becomes something you barely have to think about.

Being realistic about your spending habits and regularly revising your budget to reflect any changes in your situation can transform a budget from a constraint into a dynamic tool that supports your ambitions.

Tell us, are you pro budget...or do you take a less structured approach to your spending?

When it comes to home loans, one size definitely doesn't fit all.

Let's take a look at the different ways the interest on your loan can be applied:
1. Fixed rate: Consistent, predictable repayments.
2. Variable rate: Flexible, that shifts with the market.
3. Split loans: A mix of both fixed and variable.

Choosing which option would work for you depends on so many factors.

It's all about aligning your loan with your long term property goals and making sure the features of the loan work in your best interests. You also need to make an educated assessment on what is likely to happen in the market – although as we've seen no one has a crystal ball on interest rates.

Get in touch to discuss the type of home loan that will work for you.
