I’m sure you’ve heard the quote:
“Property Investing is a game of finance… with some houses thrown in”
Well, unfortunately….
That has never been truer than today.
In this current market climate, with interest rates increasing every month…
The banks are becoming more and more scrutinising in their lending criteria.
Most banks have tightened up their lending calculations,
Which can affect the way they assess certain metrics, such as your household expenditures etc…
Some banks have even begun to apply caps on rental yields to protect themselves from the increased risk in the market.
These days, there are so many traps that you must avoid…
Whether it be:
– Overleveraging and extracting too much equity, too early.
– Having active credit cards, personal loans, or car loans in your name.
– Or, maxing your borrowing capacity with the wrong lender, at the wrong time.
Avoiding these “lending sins” is absolutely crucial to maintaining your borrowing capacity so that you can stay in the game longer.
So…
What’s the play?
How do we play the bank’s game,
While ensuring we can continue borrowing?
Well…
In this week’s podcast episode, Grant and I will be breaking down exactly this!
We’ll be inviting our mortgage broker Aaron back for another chat, this time to discuss everything you need to know about borrowing capacity, so you can play the forever game in property investing!- As well as equity, accumulation and more!
