Too much conflicting bank info out there? We get it. 🏦

That's probably why 81.6% of new loans are now written through brokers, not banks directly. We've got access to 50+ lenders, we work for you (not them), and it doesn't cost you a cent. 

Makes you think though.. there is still a good chunk of people using banks, why? 🤔

If you're one of these people, we'd love to hear from you!

Brace yourselves. 
Another rate rise is looking likely before the end of the year, all four big banks agree. 😬 

That means higher repayments if you're on a variable loan, and less borrowing power. Add $18 pies at the footy into the mix and no wonder budgets are stretched.

Got an offset account? Go check it. Today. 👀

ASIC just found 200,000 home loans across Australia had offset accounts that weren't linked correctly, meaning people were quietly paying more interest than they should've been.

$55 million has already been refunded, and ASIC's still investigating.

If you're a Black Pen client, breathe easy. Checking your offset is linked correctly (and staying on the bank's case about it) is just part of how we do things.

Thinking about buying your first investment property? 🏡

Running the basic numbers is a start, but the basic numbers aren’t the real numbers.

Have you factored in vacancy periods? Maintenance and repairs? Tenant turnover? And what happens when interest rates rise, your repayments increase… but your rent stays the same?

Suddenly, that investment that looked great on paper could be costing you money every month.
Smart investors look deeper before they buy.

So if you’re thinking about your first investment property, let’s run the real numbers, not just the easy ones. Let's start with a call.

No deposit? There's actually a way. 🏠
It's called a family guarantor.

Your parents use their home equity to back your loan. They're not giving you money - they're just saying they'll cover it if you can't.

The bank feels secure. You get the house. And you skip the tens of thousands in Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

Keep your savings for the stuff that matters - renovations, furniture, actually living in it.

It's powerful. But it's also serious. Let's make sure everyone knows what they're signing up for.

Earning $150K together? Here's what you can actually afford. 💰

Banks will lend you $750K-$900K. But that's not the same as what you should borrow.
Real talk: $3,600/month mortgage leaves you $5,900 for everything else. Rates, insurance, groceries, fuel, car stuff.

You've got breathing room. But only if you're realistic about it.

Business owners: Tax time trap ahead ⚠️

If you claim every deduction on your tax return to reduce your tax bill, you might accidentally reduce your borrowing power for a home loan.

Here's why: Banks look at your taxable income. Lower taxable income = less you can borrow.
So if you're planning to buy property in the next 6-12 months, you need to balance tax minimisation with borrowing power.

What to do: Talk to us BEFORE your tax return. Chat with your accountant about your property plans so they can structure it right for you.

Get it sorted now, not later.

Tax time? Perfect time to get your finances sorted. 📋

Before you start house hunting:
Check your credit score. Gather income proof. Close unused credit cards (yes, even the ones with zero balance). Pay down debt if you can.

Every dollar counts when it comes to borrowing power.

Negative gearing removal - is it fair? 🤔

Here's the thing: negative gearing is temporary. Most people use it for a few years while their property appreciates.

Most everyday investors aren't trying to screw the system. They're just trying to build wealth and create a legacy.

Albanese's budget just dropped.
Here's what it means for property buyers and investors. 📋

Negative gearing changing from July 2027. Only new builds can be negatively geared - established properties? Losses offset property income only.

Capital gains tax is changing too. 50% discount being replaced with cost base indexation and a 30% minimum tax from July 2027.

If you bought investment property before May 12, 2026, you're grandfathered. Nothing changes.

First home buyers? Nothing really changes for you.

What is a guarantor? 🏠

A guarantor is someone (usually a parent or family member) who uses the equity in their home to back your home loan.

Here's how it works:
You want to buy a $1M house with a $50K deposit (5%).
Your parents go guarantor and use their home equity to cover the gap.

Result? You skip the $80K+ Lenders Mortgage Insurance and get into the market sooner.

Thinking about using a guarantor? Let's talk through your options 📞

Same salary. Your mate can borrow $200K more than you. How? 🤔

It's not what you earn - it's what you owe.
Your mate? No debts. Clean slate.

You? Brand new car with $2,000/month repayments.

The bank sees that $2K going out every month and slashes your borrowing power.

Want to borrow more? Clear your debt first. Pay off the car loan, close unused credit cards, ditch the afterpay.
Your borrowing power will jump.

How do I check my credit score? 🤔

Great news - there are free websites where you can check it right now.

Where to check:
✅ Equifax
✅ Illion
✅ Experian

What you're looking for:
600+ = Decent, major banks will look at you
800+ = Strong score, you're in good shape
1000 = Top tier, banks will love you

Anything under 600? Major banks probably won't touch it.
But there are second-tier lenders who will, just expect higher interest rates and fees.

Also check: Make sure you're up to date with ALL loan repayments. Banks look at up to 2 years of history, so missed payments will show up.

The average first home buyer age in Aus is between 34-37. But in regional areas? It's 24-29.

Why the massive difference?
House prices in regional areas are way more realistic.
Plus, with the First Home Guarantee you only need 5% deposit and no LMI. Game changer.

If you're in your 20s and think buying is impossible, it's not.

Can you buy a house on a $70K salary? 🏠

On paper? Sure. The bank might approve you for $400K.

In reality? We break down why it's not that simple.

$400K loan = $2,500/month repayments
$70K salary = $4,200/month take home

That leaves you $1,700 for bills, groceries, fuel, rates, insurance... everything.

Plus - can you even find a house for $400K in your area? And if you do, can you afford the repairs it probably needs?

The reality: buying solo on $70K is tough. But there are options - guarantors, co-borrowing, different areas.

Let's talk about what's realistic for YOU 📞

Interest rates went up - now what do you do? 🤔

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some clients will never fix their rate. Others can't sleep unless they do.

Remember when the RBA Governor said no rate rises until 2024? Then we got 13 increases. Even experts get it wrong.

The best approach? Focus on what works for YOUR situation, your finances, your goals, your risk tolerance.

Let's chat about whether fixing or staying variable makes sense for you 📞

#interestrates #fixedrate #variablerate #mortgagebroker #orangensw #blackpenlending #homeloan #financialplanning #rba
... See MoreSee Less

Why do interest rates keep going up? 📈

Interest rates control inflation. The RBA targets 2-3% inflation to keep the economy stable.

When rates rise, the 35% of Australians with home loans feel it first, less money to spend means less demand, which helps control rising prices.

Is it a blunt tool? Maybe. But it works.

$1,000 made all the difference 🏠

Our clients were told to put their best offer forward by a certain date. The guide was $720K, but they knew they'd have to go higher.

Instead of offering an even number, they went with $721,000.

They got the house.

Not saying this will work for everyone, but sometimes thinking outside the box pays off!

Biggest mistake we see with first home buyers? They skip pre-approval.

Here's what happens: They fall in love with a house, put in an offer, then find out they can't actually borrow that much. Heart. Broken.

Get pre-approved BEFORE you start looking. Know your budget, then go house hunting.

Save yourself the heartbreak 💔

"Just lowball them by $100K - it worked for me 15 years ago!" 🤦‍♂️

Yeah... she didn't get the house.
What worked in 2010 doesn't work now. Every vendor's situation is different, and if she'd just talked to the agent first, she would've known what they actually wanted.

Don't take advice from someone who bought one house in 2010. Talk to the professionals who do this every day.

Interest rates went up.

But is that really the only reason money feels tight? 💸

Those forgotten subscriptions, daily coffee runs, and impulse buys? They add up fast. Sometimes they add up to more than the rate rise itself.

We're not saying strip away all the fun - you need to enjoy life. But a quick budget check might show you that you've got more control than you think.

"I'll just buy the cheapest property on realestate.com" 📈

Yeah... that's not a strategy. That's a gamble.

You need an actual strategy:
✅ Positive vs negative gearing - which works for YOUR situation?
✅ Cash flow - can you actually afford to hold this property?
✅ Exit strategy - what's the plan if things change?

It’s not always about the highest offer 💰

Our client just bought her first home, but it wasn’t her price that sealed the deal.

She asked the agent what the sellers actually wanted. Turns out? A 4-month settlement so they could buy their next place.

She offered $5K under asking with a 4-month settlement and got the house 🏠

Talk to the agent. Find out what matters to the vendor. Structure your offer around that.
