You must be bored if you're still reading...

Fun fact - you can typically shave off 5.5 years from a 30 year home loan, just by paying it weekly or fortnightly, instead of monthly. 
Crazy hey!

Mortgage Broker & Owner

Getting home loans approved (with over 98% success)

How I paid-off my first Sydney unit by 33 (and bought with just 3% deposit)

My secret isn't complex

I didn't

- live off baked beans
- have a massive salary
- refinance every 6 months
- attend 'wealth creation' seminars
- get help from bank of mum & dad

I did

- buy a property within my means
- cut out the crap spending
- use an offset account
- smart debt recycling
- avoid bad debt

I've since used the equity to buy my Sydney house, which is now also paid off 

And leveraged that to buy a total of 10 quality properties (none of this regional $150k druggie town / flood zone crap)

P.s. my mortgage broking business exists to help you do the same, if you so choose.

The broker for first home buyers - Saving your time, money... and sanity. *Open to media and podcast opportunities*

I've used these 4 banks for my home loans:

(they got me to $10M property portfolio)

1st) Commonwealth Bank - Because I banked with them. Didn't really know what a broker did. Big error, cost me $1,000s

But, quickly made $150k equity, which allowed me to pull out the cash, and buy again.

2nd) St.George Bank - I was an employee, so could buy with 10% deposit and LMI waived

Bought my first investment with them.

3rd) Suncorp Bank - Locked in a 1.79% fixed rate with a refinance (ahhh those were the days!)

4th) NAB - allowed me to easily borrow as self-employed with high commission, scaled the property portfolio - just bought my 'forever' home!

Honestly... it's highly unlikely just one bank will help you climb the property ladder.

You purchase a home 2-3 times in your life

I do 2-3 purchases, per day.

Who do you think is better at picking the bank that will actually approve your loan?

---

My name is Aidan, and I get home loans approved standing on my head.

30, 40 or 50 year home loan term? It makes no difference 

You're going to pay it off in 5 years anyway 

Probably less.


Chances are, in two to five years you'll either:

A) Refinance to another bank

OR 

B) Sell the property (to upgrade)

So, just get whatever loan suits you at the time to acquire the property.

Because even if we get to 50 year loans

45 of them won't matter.

The 10 Commandents for First Home Buyers: 

I) You don't need a 20% deposit

II) The best loans are the ones you're eligible for

III) Explore every single way to avoid LMI, but pay it if you must

IV) Never provide more documents than the bank requires

V) Pick the fast bank when purchasing

VI) Offset and redraw are not the same, get the offset

VII) View your credit history before applying

VIII) Always get the loan pre-approved first

IX) Pick a specialist first home buyer broker 

X) Thou shalt not skip thy property checks 🙏

If I can get myself to 10 properties...

I can (probably) get you to 1 🤷🏼‍♂️

This will spin your head - but AVOID applying with the bank you do your banking with 

The reason is simple:

They have years of your spending habits

They have too much information mate.

Yet, most banks these days DON'T require to see your transaction statements... 👀

maaate - buy the property BEFORE you buy the fancy car

My first home buyer was about to go to auction - but she didn't know she could save $30k

She's buying in Sydney, so stamp duty is fully waived up to $800k

BUT she was thinking the property might go for $805k...

So she thought the WHOLE stamp duty would then be applicable 

We ran the calculations, and the stamp duty is reduced from $31k, to just $1k

Because - she still gets a first home stamp duty reduction, when buying between $800k and $1m.

That extra few $k's could get you the property (and dissuade other FHBs you're competing against 😉)

p.s. she ended up winning the auction on this knowledge...

That money you salary-sacrificed to Super...

You can use it to buy your first home 🤯

Steps to see how much you can use:

- Log into MyGov
- Open ATO
- Click 'Super'
- Click 'Manage'
- Click 'First Home Saver'
- Click 'Start Determination'

Scroll down, and you'll be able to see the funds you can withdraw for your first home deposit 👌
