The topic this week is an important one for mortgage holders and first time home buyers: How to get a better home loan? With rising interest rates and costs of living, every dollar counts.
Key topics covered include:
- With rising costs of living and rising interest rates, securing a better home loan is more important than ever.
- Be mindful of your spending, it impacts how you will be viewed.
- Getting a better loan is like going on a first date, you’ve got to put your best foot forward.
- Get your loan to value ratio as low as possible.
- Are your income and expenses in order – know your numbers.
- Can you show your savings behaviour?
- Is it better to go to a bank or a mortgage broker?
- Bring credit card limits down or shut them down, you’ll be assessed on your credit limits, not what you’re using.
- If you’re in business with finance needs consider government grants, crowd funding and venture capital options too.
- Luke shares his top tips to get a better home loan outcome.
