know out of the 21 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,879 woods yet with uh interest rate Rises or 22 00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:53,359 you know even interest rate drops but um 23 00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:55,120 yeah definitely more listings now it's 24 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,960 spring so it's really good to see 25 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,039 definitely and I'm just even for for 26 00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:01,760 commercial property I'm finding people 27 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,840 that I was talking to months ago are 28 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,080 actually finding the properties the 29 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,159 right prices so got a lot in the go at 30 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:10,280 the moment it's good yeah well that's 31 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,520 right I mean like the interest rates 32 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,880 where they are now like a six six and a 33 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,000 half even like a 7% interest rate on a 34 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,799 commercial property is actually on 35 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:21,520 average like where interest rate should 36 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,240 be over like the the the you know a 37 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,439 really long period of time that's the 38 00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:28,119 like average around where it should be 39 00:01:28,119 --> 00:01:30,439 and it's a good place for commercial 40 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:34,399 property B because you get good um like 41 00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:37,520 really good uh negotiation tactics with 42 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,680 the the agent and you can also work it 43 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,439 around like find a different interest 44 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:43,960 rate later down the line like just 45 00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:45,680 because you have a higher interest rate 46 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,000 right now doesn't mean that's the 47 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,439 interest rate you have to have for the 48 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:52,079 whole life of that um property you know 49 00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,360 you can refinance you can do lots of 50 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960 things yeah yeah definitely and you're 51 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,200 looking at cash flow from today but yeah 52 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,880 like you said it's not going to be that 53 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,399 forever so when rates drop cash flow 54 00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:07,200 will improve when rents go up cash flow 55 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,598 will improve so if the numbers work 56 00:02:09,598 --> 00:02:11,200 today then hopefully they'll actually 57 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,360 get stronger over time yeah that's right 58 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,319 and I think people are baselining like 59 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,519 interest rates today on where they went 60 00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:20,280 so like how low they went cuz that was 61 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,519 like a record low that was very unusual 62 00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:25,599 it you know we may never get back there 63 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:28,440 you know in our careers so like that was 64 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,319 actually the unusual part how low 65 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,319 interest rates went and this is actually 66 00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:34,840 more of a normal Market where you know 67 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,720 you can get good deals you can you know 68 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,760 a 6% return U or interest on uh property 69 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,319 is actually like not bad like you 70 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,200 shouldn't be afraid of it right 71 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,640 now yeah no agreed more we get used to 72 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,640 it you know people will adapt to this 73 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,480 time yeah moving forward all right man 74 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,480 so today I wanted to have a chat about 75 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,040 getting Finance approved and where it 76 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,400 can all go wrong in the process 77 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800 so in terms of like the most common 78 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,000 reasons loan applications get rejected 79 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,120 um how and how like applicants can 80 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,519 mitigate these risks of like why 81 00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:14,239 applicants get 82 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,319 rejected yeah look it depends I guess on 83 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,680 the broker and their experience with how 84 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,799 many deals or how many applications have 85 00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:26,239 actually they've worked on over their 86 00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:29,400 career and how much due diligence they 87 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,400 put to their own assessments before they 88 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,120 apply on behalf of the customer so a lot 89 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,439 of the time if the data is all correct 90 00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:42,439 so meaning you know all your address 91 00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:44,280 history is correct your employment 92 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,040 history uh your expenses are you know 93 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080 close to what the banks expect them to 94 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,239 be you supply all the documents that 95 00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:54,400 they ask for then really it shouldn't 96 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,200 get the client it's just a matter of um 97 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,239 going to the right lender for your 98 00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,799 situation 99 00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:03,200 but what I've seen probably from my own 100 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,640 experience where things don't go the way 101 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,400 I plan it's due to the complexity of the 102 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,319 way they do their tax returns and that's 103 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,120 if someone's self-employed because an 104 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,600 accountant will write off as much as 105 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,918 they can and they will you know 106 00:04:19,918 --> 00:04:21,519 obviously show a certain amount of 107 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:24,320 income and over the last few years there 108 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,360 has been you know government um 109 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,160 subsidies and grants and things like 110 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560 that to help people and what I found 111 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,560 from my own experience is that some 112 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,039 banks will deduct those 113 00:04:37,039 --> 00:04:40,479 oneoff incomes right and revenues and 114 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:42,639 deduct that from the net profit so it's 115 00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:44,720 not a matter of getting declined but 116 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,680 more just not getting approved for the 117 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,919 amount you apply for which is basically 118 00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:50,440 like getting declined right so if you're 119 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,919 buying if you need 600 Grand but the 120 00:04:52,919 --> 00:04:54,919 bank only approves 400 well what's the 121 00:04:54,919 --> 00:04:56,360 point of approving 400 because you 122 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,960 needed 600 for that particular 123 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080 transaction right yeah well sense yeah 124 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,720 it does make sense so like say like 125 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,560 during Co when um you know businesses 126 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,280 were getting a bit of help from the 127 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,199 government and they the revenues were 128 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:13,120 down but like and so they weren't able 129 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,240 to work they weren't able to get like 130 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,720 the higher revenues that they would 131 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,080 usually get so the lending is like and 132 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,800 and then the bank doesn't even like 133 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,800 capture what they the government was 134 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,280 giving out to businesses anyway um so 135 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,000 that yeah that's a bit of a like a it's 136 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,600 a bit of a slap in the face really cuz 137 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,960 like will we were operating properly at 138 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240 at like 100% capacity we would have 139 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,440 earned that money anyway and we wouldn't 140 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,319 be even talking right now but because of 141 00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:38,120 the 142 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,919 situation um you know wow it's just 143 00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:43,039 almost like shading on 144 00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:45,759 rent yeah yeah and that's that's why you 145 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:47,639 need to navigate it properly because 146 00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,720 some banks are actually understanding of 147 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,759 that so they'll look at say the previous 148 00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:54,319 year and say okay well that previous 149 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:56,199 year when you had no no grants there was 150 00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:59,080 no pandemic you earned x amount and the 151 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,840 year after after you obviously weren't 152 00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:02,600 able to work you know you had to shut 153 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,240 shop for a period of time so as long as 154 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680 it sort of shows that pattern of 155 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,759 recovery in the most recent Financial 156 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,319 year then they'll kind of accept it but 157 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:14,360 others are like no blanket rule no can't 158 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,800 look at it it was oneoff it's not going 159 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,880 to continue and that brings down the 160 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,160 average so that's that's a challenge 161 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,240 it's obviously something you have to 162 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,120 navigate um but also just you know when 163 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,160 someone's got multiple entities 164 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,280 sometimes it it can be quite complex to 165 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:30,759 track the money to actually and and it's 166 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:32,479 easy to sometimes double up because 167 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:34,560 money gets paid from one company to 168 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,639 another to another trust and sometimes 169 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:38,160 you think that you know you've got oh 170 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,880 there 60 Grand here there another 60 171 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,560 Grand there but really it was the same 172 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,400 60 Grand right so you have to be 173 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,160 spending time checking it properly to 174 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,960 make sure that you know showing more 175 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,039 income than you actually is um and then 176 00:06:52,039 --> 00:06:54,199 but in terms of decline so what of from 177 00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:57,199 I guess maybe more inexperienced um 178 00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,879 Brokers or even inexperienced customers 179 00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:03,120 that have got uh credit issues so they 180 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,400 might end up going applying for um a 181 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,639 payday loan so someone that's going to 182 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,720 fund give them Capital straight away and 183 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,360 then they'll pay it back with their next 184 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,840 paycheck that's that's a red flag so if 185 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,599 if you've got them on your credit file 186 00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:19,319 that could be a decline even though that 187 00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,360 would just for a particular window of 188 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,879 time that you needed it that could be a 189 00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:24,280 decline so something like that could 190 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,160 affect you a default that you've had on 191 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,599 your credit file from a few years ago uh 192 00:07:28,599 --> 00:07:30,479 that you know that was and also a period 193 00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:32,479 of time where you weren't able to you 194 00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:34,960 know make your payments and it's still 195 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,599 on your file so that could also be a 196 00:07:36,599 --> 00:07:38,120 decline but again you can find this 197 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,479 stuff out before you even you know hit 198 00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:43,680 go and you know cover that off with your 199 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,919 comments you know get an okay from the 200 00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:48,479 bank I try to do that they're called um 201 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:49,879 you know you get a credit scenario you 202 00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:51,440 send it to the bank and say look this is 203 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,560 the situation this is the strength can 204 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,039 we actually do can you approve it based 205 00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:00,319 on this situation and then they'll say 206 00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:02,159 yes subject to full 207 00:08:02,159 --> 00:08:04,919 assessment and if we have that then we 208 00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:07,680 should be good to apply for the loan so 209 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,639 mate how do different types of loans 210 00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:12,360 such as like personal business or 211 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,280 mortgages differ with the approval 212 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,599 process probably more than anything else 213 00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:20,479 it's the the time frame it takes to get 214 00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:24,240 approved so the more I guess the larger 215 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,440 amount you apply for the longer it can 216 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,520 take because there's more moving Parts 217 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,039 it's more risk to the 218 00:08:30,039 --> 00:08:34,559 bank and also there's an a a larger 219 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,360 asset so if you're purchasing a property 220 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,039 there's obviously there's going to be a 221 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,000 mortgage required um there might already 222 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,599 be a mortgage because somebody owns a 223 00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:45,920 property so they have to Value the 224 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,600 property that can take 225 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,080 time um but if it was a car for example 226 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,080 you know cars they're quite easy to 227 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,480 determine if they're real or not you 228 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,320 just do a ppsr search you know security 229 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,160 property search to see if it exists the 230 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,640 VIN search and then the money can really 231 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,440 you know exchange hands within a couple 232 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,160 of days but property as well there's 233 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,480 contracts and those contracts have 234 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,360 settlement periods which can take six 235 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,040 weeks sometimes even longer so but the 236 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,839 approval itself depending how good you 237 00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:23,680 are with the data you present to the 238 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:26,560 bank you can get approvals in a few days 239 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:29,680 with some banks and some lend actually 240 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,399 can take longer they can take a week or 241 00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:33,320 two and it all depends on how much 242 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,560 volume they have what their you know 243 00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:38,399 their turnaround times are uh to process 244 00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:41,079 that but yeah it all just comes down to 245 00:09:41,079 --> 00:09:43,200 I think complexity amount they're 246 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,279 borrowing the type of asset they're 247 00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:47,720 buying um and also even the type of 248 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,480 customer if you're self-employed it's 249 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,079 going to take a bank longer to come up 250 00:09:51,079 --> 00:09:52,920 with a credit decision versus someone 251 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,200 that's 252 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,160 py yeah it blows my mind that like how 253 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,600 how easy it is to get car finance like 254 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,440 obviously like for the bank that's uh an 255 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,079 asset to them because they're writing a 256 00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:10,959 loan the loan is an asset to them but to 257 00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:13,399 the actual borrower the car is a 258 00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:15,880 liability like unless you're using it to 259 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,600 make money um through Uber driving or 260 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,120 like doing deliveries and stuff like 261 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,959 that for like Amazon like it's a clear 262 00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:25,600 liability so like if the bank was like 263 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,760 going to lend money to you in the best 264 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,399 like in like basically they trying to 265 00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:33,680 lend to you for the best type of asset 266 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:36,720 for your particular finances that would 267 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,639 it would be flipped around it would be 268 00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:40,600 like okay let's buy you a house because 269 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,760 that's going to make you a lot more 270 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,519 money in future because it's going to 271 00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,360 have time in the market it's going to 272 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,320 appreciate over time it's going to be a 273 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,399 real great asset to you obviously like 274 00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,360 the values are way different but like in 275 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,800 terms of like the other side it's like 276 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,959 let's get you a car let's make sure you 277 00:10:55,959 --> 00:10:57,959 have huge like big repayments for that 278 00:10:57,959 --> 00:10:59,240 car and it's a liability it's a 279 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,320 depreciating asset and it will not grow 280 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,320 your wealth at all like it's just really 281 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,920 funny how like the difference in a 282 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,519 liability to an actual asset which the 283 00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:10,320 banks are actually trying to they're 284 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,279 happy to loan like the loan process 285 00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:16,120 quicker to you yeah yeah I can see why 286 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,920 you can look at it from that angle right 287 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,680 when you Ben like the more you benefit 288 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,480 the longer it can take and the harder it 289 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,760 is right yeah but but for them the 290 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,320 lender they benefit and they'll turn it 291 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,200 over quickly because that just means 292 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,839 income straight to their Bank whatnot 293 00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:34,000 yeah I can see that angle but look I 294 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,079 don't think that's a deliberate thing I 295 00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:38,560 think it's just a matter of um a lot 296 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:42,120 more moving parts required um for a 297 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,760 property it's more complex there's 298 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,800 mortgages there's other interest on 299 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,120 there there's you 300 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,360 know different banks already have an 301 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,240 existing mortgage on there uh versus you 302 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,839 know a car that's like you know you're 303 00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,399 buying from a dealership it's clear 304 00:11:57,399 --> 00:11:59,720 title you just register 305 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,680 you know an interest when you buy it and 306 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:05,120 it it's nice and quick and also the 307 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,760 availability of capital that's another 308 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,000 thing the reason why car Lo can get 309 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,120 approved so quickly and a lot of the 310 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,079 time it's less 311 00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:16,040 documentation it's because it's we're 312 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,519 not talking about a lot of money here 313 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:20,199 right 30 40 50 Grand it might be a lot 314 00:12:20,199 --> 00:12:23,120 to a lot of people but to to A lender 315 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,079 it's not right they lend out billions of 316 00:12:25,079 --> 00:12:28,480 dollars um whereas when you're lending 317 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,480 Millions of dollars for for a property 318 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,720 yeah it's a larger sum there's more 319 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,519 rules um around making sure that the 320 00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:39,600 they're going to get their money back 321 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,480 with 322 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,600 interest um because they don't lend out 323 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,720 their own money right they borrow it so 324 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,800 the moment it defaults everybody loses 325 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,480 so yeah of course so we' like car loans 326 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,279 obviously with property there's also a 327 00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:58,399 location aspect as well like some banks 328 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,160 will only loan to certain locations with 329 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,440 a car loan that probably doesn't apply 330 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040 does it at all because a car 331 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,320 moves it doesn't apply in terms of 332 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,639 location but it does apply in terms of 333 00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:15,279 the asset itself so what I mean by that 334 00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:19,880 is um some most lenders for car finance 335 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,160 will have a age restriction so you can't 336 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,920 go and finance like a 1980s car or a 60s 337 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,279 you know car because it's it's too old 338 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,800 for them the resale is difficult right 339 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,240 um so they might have at the end of the 340 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,880 loan term the car must maximum be 10 341 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,279 years old right uh they don't really 342 00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:43,120 care about kilometers I think that'll be 343 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,440 very hard to to sort of track um but 344 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,720 they do look at if it's private sale if 345 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,880 it's dealership sale how old the car is 346 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,360 and whether the car is going to be for 347 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,480 business use or personal use all of that 348 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,920 will come into into the equation and 349 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,800 some it's just a blank blanket rule if 350 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,519 if the car is too old we won't lend 351 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:04,440 against it and others will be flexible 352 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,639 um so yeah it's not the same as property 353 00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:08,360 because I I did experience that recently 354 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,399 with a with a client wanting to buy in 355 00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:13,639 in South Australia and it's in a sort of 356 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:18,720 regional town and lenders consider it a 357 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,079 category 4 location so what that means 358 00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:24,040 is that it's you know it's obviously 359 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,800 it's not Metro if you think cat one 360 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120 category one Category 2 three so Falls 361 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,800 like you know the bottom of the pile 362 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,120 there's not much uh population at all 363 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,519 there's not much industry there um so re 364 00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:40,199 reselling the property would be 365 00:14:40,199 --> 00:14:42,639 difficult if it defaulted um that's and 366 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:45,920 if it's reliant on on tenants to pay the 367 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,320 the the rent in order to cover the 368 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,120 mortgage then retting it would be 369 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,120 difficult as well so that's why um they 370 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,560 they look at location yeah of course so 371 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,360 mate how long does it usually take like 372 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,360 typic typically from loan approval to 373 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,399 actually seeing the funds in your bank 374 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:09,800 account honestly it's can be a very 375 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,519 quick process so the main thing you have 376 00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:16,160 to do is sign loan documents once it's 377 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,600 approved if it's a property you know and 378 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040 you and you would have seen this um some 379 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,600 of the listeners if you've if you've 380 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,279 bought in a company or a trust there's a 381 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:28,040 lot more documents required you have to 382 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,680 get legal advice you have to get 383 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,560 financial advice there's guarantor 384 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,720 documents there's witnessing documents 385 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,000 they need Wet signatures you know you 386 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,480 need to post a back needs to be checked 387 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,519 all that process can take a little while 388 00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:42,120 but if you're good at paperwork you can 389 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,040 do it in a day send it back by Express 390 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,560 post it can be checked and then good to 391 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,759 go then it just comes down to aligning 392 00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:51,639 the date with the seller the seller is 393 00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:55,319 ready to receive the funds um and 394 00:15:55,319 --> 00:15:56,519 obviously they've probably got a 395 00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:58,399 mortgage as well they need to pay out so 396 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,199 that their lender needs to be ready to 397 00:16:00,199 --> 00:16:02,959 receive the funds yeah that can take you 398 00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:05,079 know the whole thing can from from 399 00:16:05,079 --> 00:16:06,959 approval to settlement can be days and 400 00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:08,560 it can also be weeks depending on when 401 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,880 everyone else is ready um with a car or 402 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,839 a personal loan you know it could be 403 00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:16,279 same day uh it's all electronic now a 404 00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:18,600 lot of the time you sign documents if 405 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,880 it's um you know docy sign and they 406 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,920 transfer the money you experienced that 407 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,160 with your car right like the money was 408 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,720 paid the same day it was approved pretty 409 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,839 much couple days 410 00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:32,399 after yeah I wish um like property 411 00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:34,199 Finance was as quick as Car Finance cuz 412 00:16:34,199 --> 00:16:37,160 I was shocked how how quick and easy car 413 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,480 finance was I mean look it's no wonder 414 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,120 that um you know there's a cost of 415 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,160 living crisis um everyone's driving a 416 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,120 brand like beautiful new car like i' I 417 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,440 have never really had a really nice car 418 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,880 and I still have a you know just a 419 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,560 average you know Hy Santa Fe it's like a 420 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,600 2017 model there's nothing full flashy 421 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,639 it's just uh gets the job done it's just 422 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,319 nice and you know has a bit more room um 423 00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:04,799 but previously we were driving like 424 00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:08,880 older cars um But like everyone now has 425 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,919 a really nice new car so like it's like 426 00:17:11,919 --> 00:17:15,039 a good I'd say about A5 to $600 payment 427 00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:17,760 per month like just on their car loan 428 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,720 you know so it's no wonder that like 429 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,439 people have so much debt now um and and 430 00:17:22,439 --> 00:17:24,599 extra like cash they need every single 431 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,959 month let alone to be able to buy a 432 00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:29,240 property and put a mortgage on it 433 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,280 um you know it's just 434 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,600 crazy yeah I um I'm working on one at 435 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,640 the moment where these clients came to 436 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,400 me and they want to buy another 437 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,919 investment property they've got four at 438 00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:45,400 the moment and they're looking at buying 439 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,600 the fifth and they're pretty squeezed 440 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,640 for borrowing capacity but I noticed 441 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,799 that they've got two car loans under 442 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,200 their names yeah um totaling about 40 443 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,679 Grand approximately maybe a bit more and 444 00:17:58,679 --> 00:18:00,080 the repayments are like that exactly 445 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000 what you said $600 or whatever it is per 446 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,039 month but because we got equity on their 447 00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:08,679 properties we can consolidate them so 448 00:18:08,679 --> 00:18:09,919 that's what we're doing we're actually 449 00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:12,360 just paying out the car loans with 40 450 00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:14,200 Grand of equity and then we're using the 451 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,280 rest of the equity to to come up with a 452 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,400 deposit to buy another 453 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,600 property so it's 454 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,320 like you know people don't realize how 455 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,320 much of an impact it has on them at the 456 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,960 time right they want they want the car 457 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,960 they want the 458 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,600 convenience um they want you know to 459 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,480 look good when they're driving on the 460 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,000 road um but then when they want to grow 461 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,960 their portfolio or set themselves up for 462 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,039 the future it's it can be hindering them 463 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:44,679 so hopefully they got enough equity in 464 00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:46,720 one of their properties that they can 465 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,200 consolidate at some point uh otherwise 466 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,720 you're stuck with the car loan for you 467 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,000 know five to seven years but if you if 468 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,640 your repayments are low and you're not 469 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,960 borrowing that much or you come up with 470 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,919 a big deposit you know 471 00:18:58,919 --> 00:19:01,200 couple hundred bucks a month whatever it 472 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,799 is 300 400 it's it's not going to have a 473 00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:06,799 massive impact on your borrow yeah cuz 474 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,919 the the reason they would do that and I 475 00:19:08,919 --> 00:19:11,039 I I can basically break it break it down 476 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:13,480 is because the the equity that they've 477 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760 drawn out is at like a a 6% interest 478 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,360 rate let's say that's probably what it 479 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,559 is around that Victor and then the car 480 00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:24,640 loan is at like 10 or 15% interest so it 481 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,360 makes sense to use the cheaper money to 482 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,640 pay that car loan down so you're paying 483 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,080 less interest even though you're still 484 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,400 like borrowing money to pay the car down 485 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,000 but it's like half of the interest so 486 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,280 obviously um that would be 487 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,480 better yeah also the the term that you 488 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,039 have to repay it so like when you take a 489 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:49,000 car loan out as I said earlier the 490 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,039 maximum you can get is say five to seven 491 00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:53,840 years and that's because the asset is 492 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,799 depreciating it's not going to be worth 493 00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:58,520 much so so lenders don't want to hold 494 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,600 the debt for too long because it's just 495 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,400 not going to be have much of a resale 496 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,440 value um whereas property it's going to 497 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,120 probably go up in value so that's why 498 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,039 they'll give you 30 years because their 499 00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:11,240 risk is actually reducing right from the 500 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,520 bank's perspective the debts coming down 501 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,760 the value is going up so for them the 502 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,520 risk is less and less and you've got a 503 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,120 repayment history so that's why they'll 504 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:21,720 stretch you out for 30 years no problem 505 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480 um so when you take out uh you know 506 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,320 equity and you consolidate your car 507 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,640 finance you can stretch it out over 30 508 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,240 years now um which brings down your 509 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,200 minimum repayment you can still pay it 510 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,720 off in 5 to seven years right you have 511 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,520 the freedom to do that on a variable 512 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,039 loan but the bank's minimum is over 30 513 00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:44,640 so therefore your service ability is and 514 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,120 what you can do is you take out the 515 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,880 equity you pay down the car loans and 516 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,520 then with the rest of equity the big 517 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,679 chunk of equity then you buy a cash 518 00:20:53,679 --> 00:20:55,520 flowing piece of real estate then the 519 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,559 cash flow from that real estate pays the 520 00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:01,120 cars off for you that's how you do 521 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:03,480 it so you get the best of both worlds 522 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,799 that's the way to exactly yeah that's 523 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:09,720 right awesome so can you explain some of 524 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,760 the common terms and stuff that you hear 525 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,480 thrown around by Banks uh and mortgage 526 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,159 brokers um and let us know like if 527 00:21:17,159 --> 00:21:19,480 there's any difference so is a a 528 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,960 pre-qualified there's pre-approval and 529 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,120 there's approval in principle are they 530 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:26,320 all the same thing or do they mean 531 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,039 something completely different 532 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,320 yeah terminology yeah look it's funny to 533 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,880 say that because I you know this I used 534 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,559 to work for a bank and they had their 535 00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,520 own acronyms what things mean and and 536 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720 then became a broker and then of course 537 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,919 some of those are still carry right and 538 00:21:46,919 --> 00:21:49,120 Brokers use some too and because we 539 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:50,880 communicate with banks we we try to you 540 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,919 know use some of them example is AIP 541 00:21:53,919 --> 00:21:55,840 right so AIP stands for approval in 542 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,880 principle right um and then it also 543 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,159 means pre-approval same thing synonymous 544 00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:04,600 um the the the two words mean the same 545 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,520 thing but I try when I when I call my 546 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,360 application when I title them when the 547 00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:11,080 customer sees the name of it I call it 548 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,000 pre-approval and once they don't see it 549 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,080 anymore I call it AIP because I don't 550 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,279 want them to be like what the hell does 551 00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:19,200 this mean and come to me what's a I'm 552 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,520 GNA explain it right so um but yeah 553 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,240 essentially it means the same thing it's 554 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,200 it's approved in principle because it's 555 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,440 not full approved or that's another one 556 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,360 unconditionally approved versus formally 557 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:34,760 approved those also mean the same thing 558 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,159 right um and it's fun it's funny because 559 00:22:38,159 --> 00:22:40,279 you can have an unconditional contract 560 00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:44,720 of sale on a on a purchase and an 561 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,240 unconditional um loan approval but then 562 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,919 you can have settlement conditions so so 563 00:22:49,919 --> 00:22:51,640 technically it's not unconditional right 564 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,279 there's still settling condition um and 565 00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:57,080 so the difference is when it's a 566 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,960 pre-approval there's no property right 567 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:02,000 AIP approval in principle there's no 568 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,919 property so they've they've approved 569 00:23:03,919 --> 00:23:06,360 your your credit history they've 570 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,520 approved your um 571 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,799 serviceability uh they've approved a 572 00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:13,799 certain loan amount based on your 573 00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:16,799 circumstances subject to a property or 574 00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:18,919 in in a car in you know if you apply for 575 00:23:18,919 --> 00:23:20,360 pre-approve for a car subject to a 576 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,440 particular car so then you need to get 577 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,520 the asset and say Here's the actual 578 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,279 asset that I'm buying can you now give 579 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:28,440 me an unconditional approval or a for 580 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,000 approval and then assuming that Stacks 581 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,960 up then they'll give you the lot final 582 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,159 approval or the formal final 583 00:23:35,159 --> 00:23:37,919 unconditional um and what was the other 584 00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:41,440 one you said pre-qualify so pre-qualify 585 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,679 uh look I honestly that doesn't really 586 00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:47,200 get used that much in in mortgages 587 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,679 definitely gets used a lot in the 588 00:23:48,679 --> 00:23:52,440 personal loan space and car car finance 589 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,799 get pre-qualified and those are like 590 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:58,159 before a pre-approval so before you even 591 00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:01,200 apply for the loan you can pre-qualify 592 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,799 and that's by doing like a credit check 593 00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:05,880 or a soft credit check so they basically 594 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,240 look at what your credit score is um 595 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,520 sometimes they'll also do a bank 596 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,360 statements integration so a lot of these 597 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,880 finex and smaller lenders they'll 598 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,679 they'll actually have H an algorithm a 599 00:24:20,679 --> 00:24:23,240 program that will actually scan your 600 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,120 bank statements and automatically 601 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:28,559 categorize them and it will flag 602 00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:30,600 anything that's negative like late 603 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,520 payments you know um overdrawn fees 604 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,880 overdrawn account um you know payday 605 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,799 lenders um whatever it is the things 606 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:41,600 that can be negative and I also check 607 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,799 the salary is 608 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,200 consistent um so it's not dropping and 609 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,279 whatnot so that's where you can kind of 610 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:50,279 get a pre-qualified loan because it will 611 00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:53,640 check that based on computer algorithm 612 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,480 there's no human checking it there no 613 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,080 person checking it and then once you're 614 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,520 ready to actually apply usually it's 615 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,720 easier if you've already been 616 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,360 pre-qualified because then it's just 617 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:06,480 verifying okay the bank semons was a 618 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,960 program telling me yes okay it matches 619 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,640 the same it looks good tick tick tick 620 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,640 move on approved so it makes it easier 621 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,960 but if there's 622 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,520 no algorithm checking all that stuff 623 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,520 pre-qualifying then you literally need a 624 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,760 human to check it to go through the 625 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,600 statements line by line to check the pay 626 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,520 slips um so T takes more time and you 627 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,200 know obviously error Big Data if you're 628 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,440 looking at 12 months worth of bank 629 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,399 statements person checking it could be 630 00:25:33,399 --> 00:25:36,320 tired right they might miss something um 631 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,520 they might be in a bad mood whatever 632 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,480 from the previous one so they might have 633 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,520 some some some bias and like I don't 634 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,000 like this so I'm going to decline it 635 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,480 right so they're not looking at 636 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,760 objectively so it's a fine balance for a 637 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,600 lender because they want to lend money 638 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,320 to make money but they don't want to 639 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,960 take on too much risk to lend money to 640 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,159 everyone so it's like they're saying yes 641 00:25:56,159 --> 00:25:58,279 whilst trying not to to say yes to 642 00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:00,679 everyone they're saying no while not 643 00:26:00,679 --> 00:26:03,279 trying to say no to everyone yeah it's I 644 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,559 guess there can be that with humans like 645 00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:09,960 we do have unconscious bias as well like 646 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,159 if you've like had a bad you're in a bad 647 00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:14,480 mood or you know things do happen during 648 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,919 your day and you see someone's like he's 649 00:26:16,919 --> 00:26:18,159 always going to m [ __ ] McDonald's 650 00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:19,600 what's he going to McDonald's again for 651 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,799 like he's like three times that 652 00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:26,600 day stff he's declined you know so 653 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,159 yeah so when we're on I just we're on 654 00:26:29,159 --> 00:26:32,279 topic of like pre-approvals can you just 655 00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:34,240 explain like in residential property why 656 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,360 you can get a pre-approval but with 657 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:37,960 commercial property it's not really the 658 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,720 same thing you don't get a pre-approval 659 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,960 for a commercial 660 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,039 property yeah okay so the main reason 661 00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:48,559 for residential uh that you can get a 662 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,399 pre-approval is because there's certain 663 00:26:52,399 --> 00:26:55,159 simple rules that they can put in place 664 00:26:55,159 --> 00:26:58,520 to accept a property of security um it's 665 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,799 not too complicated it's uh either an 666 00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:05,480 owner occupier or an investment it's 667 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,480 either in a a desired location or it's 668 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,600 not um of course if it doesn't fit the 669 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,640 mold and it's different type whether 670 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,520 it's you know um uh you know primary 671 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,799 production you know rural um you know 672 00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:23,559 it's got an element of commercial into 673 00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:26,320 it then it's usually a blanket rule 674 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,320 decline doesn't don't accept it it's not 675 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,000 our type of security or it's too large 676 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,760 whatever so a lot of it comes down to 677 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,960 the actual individuals borrowing the 678 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,200 money so because houses if they 679 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,039 properties houses units whatever as long 680 00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:45,880 as they fit those particular parameters 681 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,039 then it's going to be approved on the 682 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:51,240 property they don't need to kind of dig 683 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,440 too deep per property to figure out 684 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,960 whether they'll lend the money the the 685 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,080 the bigger credit decision comes down to 686 00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,919 the individuals applying to the loan or 687 00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:02,720 the guarantors um so their credit 688 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,360 history like we talk about employment 689 00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:07,240 history um um the consistency of their 690 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,279 income um all that sort of stuff that's 691 00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:11,919 that's how they decide so that's why 692 00:28:11,919 --> 00:28:13,320 they can give a pre-approval because the 693 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,640 majority of the decision lies there but 694 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,159 when you're buying 695 00:28:17,159 --> 00:28:19,440 commercial it's less reliant on the 696 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,480 individuals that's why people set up 697 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,960 spvs or special purpose Vehicles they 698 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,279 set up trusts companies to own the 699 00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:29,240 assets you know it's and then that 700 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,000 usually they um you know usually it's 701 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,279 it's an investment but they're not 702 00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:38,919 needing to put so much of their own 703 00:28:38,919 --> 00:28:41,000 money to maintain the loan repayments 704 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,360 right they're collecting rent from 705 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,159 another tenant to cover that um unless 706 00:28:45,159 --> 00:28:47,159 it's an owner occupier right if you're 707 00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:48,559 if you're a business and you're trading 708 00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:50,720 from that from that um particular 709 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,919 premise then yeah look the pre-approval 710 00:28:53,919 --> 00:28:56,320 would be probably in your favor because 711 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,279 a lot of the decision is going to be on 712 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:02,440 your ability to pay the loan but for an 713 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,240 investment it's going to come down to 714 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,039 the actual the asset so is it a riskier 715 00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:11,679 asset you know um is it a specialized 716 00:29:11,679 --> 00:29:14,640 asset or is it just a regular commercial 717 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,240 property is it a you know office um is 718 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,519 it is it industrial and or retail and 719 00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:24,640 then more importantly what are the lease 720 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,799 terms who's the tenant that's actually 721 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:28,960 renting this property and what's their 722 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,200 history of paying their rent on time and 723 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,279 their history in business so so like 724 00:29:36,279 --> 00:29:37,480 you're not going to know that if you 725 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,840 apply for a pre-approval you don't know 726 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,120 any of that stuff so in a way there's a 727 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,120 term that it's not worth the paper it's 728 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,240 written on have you heard that 729 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,000 before well that's that's essentially 730 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,200 what that is if you apply for pre prepro 731 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,480 for commercial proper it's not worth the 732 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,120 paper is written on doesn't mean 733 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,799 anything because the moment you give 734 00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:56,760 them a property they'll like no doesn't 735 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,440 so but I'm pre-approved so 736 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,440 what right so um and especially if 737 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,480 you're doing a Le stock loan right um 738 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,640 these stock loans don't require anything 739 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,240 to do with the individuals um they just 740 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,200 they're there they prove their 741 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,919 identity um but the approval is based on 742 00:30:14,919 --> 00:30:17,720 the on the lease right so that property 743 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,440 is what's going to determine if it's 744 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,720 going to be approved or not and the 745 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,559 valuation as well that's another thing 746 00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:27,799 so residential lending they they can 747 00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:31,279 rely on avm's automatic valuation model 748 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:32,360 desktop 749 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,600 valuations so it's literally someone on 750 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,080 the computer doing a quick search 751 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,840 checking recent sales and uh curbside so 752 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,320 someone goes out takes a photo from the 753 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,840 outside makees sure the house actually 754 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,440 exists it's not knocked down or whatever 755 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,679 um and then they do a bit of data search 756 00:30:48,679 --> 00:30:51,039 so they don't even those are less costly 757 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:52,960 they they're much faster to determine 758 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,760 some of them aren't even like there's no 759 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,039 human involved at all like the AVM 760 00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:00,240 um and then there's a long form 761 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,159 valuation so non-bank lenders will want 762 00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:04,880 an actual long long form sorry short 763 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,360 form valuation so it's like four pages 764 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,480 whatever but it still requires a full 765 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,159 inspection and that can cost a few 766 00:31:11,159 --> 00:31:13,200 hundred bucks but for commercial 767 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,279 property it's always a long form which 768 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:18,080 means it's like 18 20 Pages there's a 769 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,720 lot more research and data that goes 770 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,840 into it to determine certain things and 771 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,799 it's not just comparable sayings right 772 00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,039 it's cap rates it's cost per square 773 00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:28,720 meter um and sometimes just getting the 774 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,960 comparibles is really difficult because 775 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,840 um there haven't been recent sales of 776 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,120 that type of property um the net leible 777 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,200 area they check so there's quite more 778 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,200 it's quite a lot more information that 779 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,639 goes into that and the banks rely on 780 00:31:43,639 --> 00:31:45,639 this the lenders rely on this in order 781 00:31:45,639 --> 00:31:47,679 to make their their decision to lend on 782 00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:50,039 on it so that's why people typically 783 00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:52,200 won't apply for a pre we run the numbers 784 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,320 we make sure that that hypothetical rent 785 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,799 will allow serviceability 786 00:31:57,799 --> 00:31:59,320 and then if that ticks and we know that 787 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,600 the credit history is good then there's 788 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,320 no point in applying for pre-approval 789 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,480 and that's why you always have to have a 790 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,240 finance Clause right so if you buy 791 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,840 commercial property it's not like 792 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,799 residential where you can go in you know 793 00:32:09,799 --> 00:32:12,080 wave your cooling off no Finance it's 794 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,120 very risky if you do that because 795 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,399 there's not many lenders that will do 796 00:32:15,399 --> 00:32:16,639 the finance for you and the ones that 797 00:32:16,639 --> 00:32:18,360 will may not give you the most favorable 798 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,399 terms and so having a finance Clause 799 00:32:21,399 --> 00:32:22,440 will allow you to get out of the 800 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,200 contract in in the event that you don't 801 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,919 get the financed uh terms that you're 802 00:32:25,919 --> 00:32:28,720 after loan amount interest rate um 803 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,480 whatever it is fees or get declined 804 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,799 right so you can still get out and get 805 00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:35,159 your deposit back whereas residential 806 00:32:35,159 --> 00:32:37,360 many people commit because they know 807 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,000 they're already pre-approved and then 808 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,760 they can just you know find a good 809 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,159 property that's nothing you know out of 810 00:32:43,159 --> 00:32:45,000 the norm and it'll be 811 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,559 approved that yeah does that all make 812 00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:49,480 sense or yeah definitely makes sense and 813 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,639 and the finance Clause doesn't actually 814 00:32:51,639 --> 00:32:52,960 have to be separate from the due 815 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,200 diligence cause I think we like to 816 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,279 separate it sometimes to make it more 817 00:32:57,279 --> 00:33:01,159 clear for the the opposing party um but 818 00:33:01,159 --> 00:33:04,159 in in essence the due diligence Finance 819 00:33:04,159 --> 00:33:05,480 getting the Finance on the property 820 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,679 should be part of that um but sometimes 821 00:33:07,679 --> 00:33:10,159 we um we have a due diligence clause and 822 00:33:10,159 --> 00:33:13,679 then we also have uh a finance Clause um 823 00:33:13,679 --> 00:33:15,399 as well just to make it a bit more clear 824 00:33:15,399 --> 00:33:17,639 I think maybe for the for the for the 825 00:33:17,639 --> 00:33:19,799 buyer and the seller probably um while 826 00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:22,600 we do that but it's is quite interesting 827 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,480 so mate some of the red flags or common 828 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,960 mistakes individuals make on their 829 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,600 application um that can delay the 830 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,840 approval process what are they and how 831 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,519 can we and how can we avoid 832 00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:39,240 them so probably a lot of it to do with 833 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,399 debts and knowing all of them so people 834 00:33:43,399 --> 00:33:45,399 apply for credit cards they forget you 835 00:33:45,399 --> 00:33:47,159 know they get buy now pay later they 836 00:33:47,159 --> 00:33:50,200 forget they don't consider hex debt an 837 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,720 actual debt so they don't type it in 838 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,720 when they're filling out their fact fine 839 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,519 um this stuff can actually slow down 840 00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:01,080 applications because borrowing capacity 841 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,559 or capacity to repay that's one of the 842 00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:07,360 fundamental things that if not the most 843 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,199 important thing when any lender is 844 00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:11,040 approving a loan do you have the 845 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,679 capacity to repay so any debts that you 846 00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:17,199 have um need to be accounted 847 00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:21,280 for and a lot of the time it's hard to 848 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,679 get the information as easy that's 849 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:26,239 probably one of the one of the more 850 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,520 challenging things if someone's got a 851 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,760 lot of 852 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,040 loans and we need to know what the loan 853 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,760 limit is what the loan balance is what 854 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,760 the interest rate is what the repayments 855 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,480 are how long the loan term is what the 856 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,079 maturity date is um if it's fixed when 857 00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:46,440 it's coming off or fixed if it's 858 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,599 interest only when it's coming off 859 00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:50,159 interest only that information sometimes 860 00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:52,599 is really hard to get for multiple loans 861 00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:54,760 or multiple loan splits so some people 862 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,960 got five loan splits on one loan and and 863 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,400 then they got five loans so that's a lot 864 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,440 of loan splits and and each of them we 865 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,480 need we need that information for all of 866 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,000 them so getting that sometimes is tricky 867 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,200 and if they're with like a smaller 868 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480 lender uh I experienced this recently 869 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,960 actually with with a client that is with 870 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,720 a lender that's very uncommon they're a 871 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:17,200 Ukrainian bank and getting that 872 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,920 information was really really tricky so 873 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,800 we went backwards and forwards for like 874 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,640 two weeks trying to get it 875 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,359 and yeah and so if you have that stuff 876 00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:29,560 up front uh and a lot of time you can 877 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,280 get it from net banking like you just go 878 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,160 on to your you know your loan summary 879 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,560 page you can do a screenshot of that on 880 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,520 your phone app or on the computer and 881 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,680 then you provide that along with the 882 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,680 statements getting the transactional 883 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,320 statement history for the most recent 884 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,160 month can be tricky as well and so like 885 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,960 at the moment we're in 886 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,280 October and if someone downloaded the 887 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,760 most recent loan statement it will 888 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,680 probably get them up to the end of June 889 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,800 right um beginning of July but that 890 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,119 doesn't cover it what happens to the 891 00:35:57,119 --> 00:35:59,880 last four months so that so they need to 892 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,480 they need to extract um the transaction 893 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,040 history to show that they rep payments 894 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,800 are up to date to show what the current 895 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,200 balance is and all that other 896 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,599 information I just I mentioned earlier 897 00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:12,760 so then to get that they need to extract 898 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,400 it as a PDF so I always find it funny 899 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,800 when somebody when I ask for these um 900 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,520 dates and somebody sends me a 901 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,359 spreadsheet a CSV I'm like what am I 902 00:36:23,359 --> 00:36:26,560 supposed to do with that like do like do 903 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,359 you really think A banks go to look at a 904 00:36:28,359 --> 00:36:30,200 CSV and say okay that must be the 905 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,400 balance like you can literally go in and 906 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,640 type whatever you want in there like you 907 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,920 know yeah but sometimes when you go into 908 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,400 a net banking and you say extract 909 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,000 there's no option say print the PDF so 910 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,359 that's all you can get so I understand 911 00:36:47,359 --> 00:36:50,119 the you know why people will send that 912 00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:52,079 but logically it just doesn't make sense 913 00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:55,599 doesn't verify anything right um so yeah 914 00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:57,200 that's that's something that you know 915 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,480 can definitely slow down applications 916 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,480 um uh what 917 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,520 else documents yeah look tax returns 918 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,880 definitely that's something um if if 919 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,599 you've got if you've got multiple 920 00:37:11,599 --> 00:37:14,440 entities or even one if you're a company 921 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,040 you know that's you need the last two 922 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,240 years worth and you may not have that at 923 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,520 hand your accountant hasn't so then now 924 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,599 you're waiting for the accountant to 925 00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:24,000 send it um and then the accter might 926 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,599 take a while so um having that in nice 927 00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:29,680 one clean folder ready to go I think 928 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,280 that would be important so that when 929 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,640 you're ready to apply just upload it or 930 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,079 email it or whatever it is and and your 931 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,119 atto notice of assessment they used to 932 00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:40,520 post it in the mail now they just make 933 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,000 it available in my gov so just log in go 934 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,960 to ATO portal and just download it um 935 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,119 yeah having that ready and what else 936 00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:52,000 yeah I think in general just filling out 937 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,839 the fact find so you know every broker's 938 00:37:54,839 --> 00:37:56,400 got a different process on getting a 939 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,720 fact fact find and a fact find is just 940 00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:01,280 what's your you know um address history 941 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,760 employment histories asset liabilities 942 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,319 expenses and um your needs and 943 00:38:06,319 --> 00:38:08,200 objectives like this is a requirement 944 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,520 for every application and how to capture 945 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,680 that it's always a tricky thing for 946 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,160 every every broker every customer um not 947 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,480 many people like to fill out long forms 948 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,040 um I get that but a broker doesn't have 949 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,760 the access to that information you know 950 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,280 unless you want them to sit on the phone 951 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,119 with you for an hour or half an hour 952 00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:28,920 asking question by question it's I think 953 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,520 that's counterproductive I think you're 954 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:31,880 better off doing it on your own time 955 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,960 when you got some free time H and just 956 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,640 just prepareing yourself mentally not 957 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,640 don't no distractions and just say all 958 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:38,720 right I'm going to fill this form out 959 00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:41,160 from start to finish upload all the 960 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,520 documents and I'm done you know not 961 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,640 dragging out over a week or a few days 962 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:46,720 forgetting about it and then 963 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:49,119 procrastinating it um because that can 964 00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:52,079 also slow things down for everyone um 965 00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:53,839 and then last minute if if it's for a 966 00:38:53,839 --> 00:38:55,440 purchase and you got Finance due and now 967 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,240 everyone's rushing last minute because 968 00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,359 they didn't get the information up 969 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,760 front yeah 100% I mean you have a great 970 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,920 online portal um I think when I was 971 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,480 filling out Finance when you doing 972 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,119 refinancing for me I think it took 973 00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:12,119 probably about an hour hour and a half 974 00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:14,079 just to to get scan all the documents 975 00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:16,640 and put everything in there um but after 976 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,400 that there was you know very smooth 977 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,720 process I didn't need to put anything 978 00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:22,280 else in there and and it also probably 979 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,839 slowed it down um because the property 980 00:39:24,839 --> 00:39:26,640 that we were refinancing I owned that 981 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,119 with my my um my fiance as well so we 982 00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:30,760 needed a little bit documentation from 983 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,280 her um that actually brings me to my 984 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,960 next point so when you're co-signing a 985 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,079 loan with someone does that slow things 986 00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:41,280 down how does the bank view co-signing 987 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,200 loans yeah it can slow things down 988 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,160 because you need that fact find 989 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,560 information for for everyone not every 990 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,880 borrower or every guarantor so and if 991 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,079 you don't have that information at hand 992 00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:56,240 so say you're filling out for your wife 993 00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:57,599 and and you don't know when she started 994 00:39:57,599 --> 00:39:59,520 her job you don't know who her boss is 995 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,520 the contact number so you need that 996 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,599 information um so you need to ask her 997 00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:05,240 when you're filling that form out or she 998 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,280 needs to log in separately and fill that 999 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,200 out for herself so now you need to 1000 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,800 navigate that so you're both available 1001 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,880 to come up with those details and then 1002 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,640 when you're estimating your expenses 1003 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,040 usually you have one person in the 1004 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,760 household that knows that and the other 1005 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,400 one's got no idea other one just pays 1006 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,079 and like got no idea what you spend yeah 1007 00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:24,760 so then so then you need to navigate 1008 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,760 that right uh cuz some of the cost you 1009 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,359 can estimate other ones they are what 1010 00:40:28,359 --> 00:40:30,440 they are you know fixed cost bills and 1011 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,640 whatnot you know what they are you just 1012 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,359 have to dig them up if you don't have it 1013 00:40:33,359 --> 00:40:35,720 readily accessible takes your time or 1014 00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:37,400 you need to check with the with the 1015 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,079 other co uh co-borrower that actually 1016 00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:41,640 knows that information or they the ones 1017 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:42,880 that store all the 1018 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,319 paperwork um and then you know when it 1019 00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:50,359 comes down to iding as well so if you're 1020 00:40:50,359 --> 00:40:52,560 married and they've had a change of name 1021 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,000 you know that can be a I've experienced 1022 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,040 that as a as a delay many times where 1023 00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,240 you know they've changed their name but 1024 00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:01,079 they haven't updated their passport and 1025 00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:02,000 because they haven't updated their 1026 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,520 passport the bank's like well what's 1027 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,359 their actual legal name well the legal 1028 00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:07,160 name is is the married name okay well 1029 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,680 where's the evidence and they I say I 1030 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,040 need a marriage certificate and then 1031 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,480 they send me the ceremonial marriage 1032 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,079 certificate which doesn't mean anything 1033 00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:14,880 that's just that's just a celebrate or 1034 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,520 whatever so I need the one that's you 1035 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,440 know transferred over at the department 1036 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,240 of birth and marriages and then 1037 00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:21,319 sometimes they don't have it so then 1038 00:41:21,319 --> 00:41:23,319 they have to go and apply for it get it 1039 00:41:23,319 --> 00:41:26,880 so that's a mission um and you know 1040 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,839 middle names so sometimes people remove 1041 00:41:28,839 --> 00:41:30,119 their middle name from their driver's 1042 00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:31,800 license but it's on the passport or it's 1043 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,480 on the Medicare whatever so now we have 1044 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,880 to find out what that is have their 1045 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,480 birth certificate so it's just got to be 1046 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,319 consistent if your name is the same on 1047 00:41:40,319 --> 00:41:43,400 everything make it nice and easy uh but 1048 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,119 general rule of thumb your legal name 1049 00:41:46,119 --> 00:41:47,960 will be your passport and your birth 1050 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,680 certificate everything else you can 1051 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,720 change you can tell the license I I 1052 00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:53,359 don't want to have this you know make my 1053 00:41:53,359 --> 00:41:55,160 middle name my my first name blah blah 1054 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,359 blah like but and then and then change 1055 00:41:58,359 --> 00:42:00,040 of name is obviously the next thing that 1056 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,680 can can Trump that if you've changed 1057 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,640 your name legally at Depart bth of 1058 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,560 marriages then we just need a copy of 1059 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,240 that um and then we can send it to the 1060 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,680 bank and everyone's 1061 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,480 happy so just to confirm your advice 1062 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,119 your advice was if you want to speed up 1063 00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:19,119 your uh mortgage application don't get 1064 00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:22,040 married and make it a lot faster process 1065 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,599 so you just have one legal name don't 1066 00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:25,920 even have a partner don't even coign so 1067 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,520 don't have a partner don't cosign don't 1068 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,880 get married that was the advice that 1069 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,480 will make it easier to get the loan 1070 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,760 approved just just the m the m thing is 1071 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,880 earn more income like you are two 1072 00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:42,359 people then you can keep borrowing just 1073 00:42:42,359 --> 00:42:45,079 joking yeah yeah just kidding that's 1074 00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:46,920 funny yeah just joke get married if 1075 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,599 you'd like to um yeah yeah

sure it's all consistent on 1079 00:42:53,319 --> 00:42:56,040 your documents then it'll fly through 1080 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,119 yeah 1081 00:42:57,119 --> 00:42:59,520 yeah so mate can you just give us a like 1082 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,280 a rundown of like how like external 1083 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,839 factors like economic factors like such 1084 00:43:04,839 --> 00:43:08,720 as inflation um economic downturns like 1085 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,520 can really impact the Loan Approval Pro 1086 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,119 process as 1087 00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:18,079 well yeah so I mean everyone who was I 1088 00:43:18,079 --> 00:43:20,440 guess an adult through the global 1089 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,119 financial crisis would know that during 1090 00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:26,800 that period of time you know 2008 till 1091 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,240 maybe 1092 00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,640 2012 I'd say for that period of time 1093 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,599 lending was was really difficult the the 1094 00:43:33,599 --> 00:43:36,760 rules around it were were changing 1095 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,319 things were getting more strict 1096 00:43:38,319 --> 00:43:41,920 requirements were higher uh capacity to 1097 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,400 repay requirements were similar to now 1098 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,440 um rates were Rising um so during a 1099 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,720 periods like 1100 00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:53,920 that liquidity in the market is is much 1101 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,720 less of it much less available capital 1102 00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:58,839 so then they have to be much more I 1103 00:43:58,839 --> 00:44:02,400 guess diligent in who they lend money to 1104 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,359 and because the risks are also high in 1105 00:44:05,359 --> 00:44:08,400 terms of uh High defaults then they also 1106 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,240 need to start checking uh extra 1107 00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:14,079 carefully that people's information is 1108 00:44:14,079 --> 00:44:16,119 true and correct and it's not fraudulent 1109 00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:18,520 you know you know what do they say uh 1110 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,440 desperate people do desperate things um 1111 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,200 and desperate times call for desperate 1112 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,319 measures right sort of similar thing 1113 00:44:26,319 --> 00:44:27,920 where so they have to be aware of that 1114 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,680 right have to be aware of people that 1115 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,880 are doing things deliberately to deceive 1116 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,280 and to to cheat and they have to make 1117 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,599 sure that they they're not allowing 1118 00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:37,559 stuff like to go through and they have 1119 00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:39,280 to look for the ones that are are 1120 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,599 actually creditworthy because there are 1121 00:44:40,599 --> 00:44:42,079 going to be people out there that 1122 00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:43,280 regardless of what's going on in the 1123 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,160 economy they they they're still earning 1124 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,480 well they've got cash reserves and they 1125 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,319 can still make moves so those are the 1126 00:44:49,319 --> 00:44:51,400 ones that lenders and Banks want to to 1127 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,520 lend money to um and it's obviously 1128 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,800 going to be a premium so it's usually 1129 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,359 higher interest rates um risk fees and 1130 00:44:59,359 --> 00:45:02,079 things like that um and also Mark 1131 00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:04,800 players in the market drop out so 1132 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,520 there's been lenders and banks that have 1133 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,440 literally stopped lending they've said 1134 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,960 no more we're 1135 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,280 done and you know a recent example of 1136 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,800 that even this in this current time is 1137 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,880 is Virgin money you know virgin money is 1138 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,440 owned by Bank of Queensland and out of 1139 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,040 nowhere they uh said we're no longer 1140 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,040 Lending money we like oh that's that 1141 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,520 came a bit of a shock um and bank bank 1142 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,760 also bought me me Bank as well so they 1143 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,319 they're maintaining the me Bank brand 1144 00:45:35,319 --> 00:45:37,440 and the bank of Queensland brand but no 1145 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,319 more new Landing for Virgin money right 1146 00:45:40,319 --> 00:45:42,680 so that's a resource so they're cutting 1147 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,520 back and now that's that's less money 1148 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,800 available less competition whatnot um 1149 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,680 and and an even more recent example and 1150 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,000 I'm letting you know Andrew because we 1151 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,400 haven't actually caught up since this 1152 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,760 but about a week and a half ago Adelaide 1153 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,119 Bank who's owned by Bendigo Bank pulled 1154 00:45:59,119 --> 00:46:00,960 out of the commercial Landing Market oh 1155 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,880 wow and and that's that's really 1156 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,440 annoying because they were my go-to 1157 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,559 lender for many reasons uh so moving 1158 00:46:08,559 --> 00:46:10,880 forward I can't use them anymore uh and 1159 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,480 no borrowers can access their their 1160 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,400 products anymore um so I don't know the 1161 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,440 exact cause of that it could have could 1162 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,000 could be with the economy but also could 1163 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,400 be because they're merging the brand 1164 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,240 with Bendigo and that's probably trying 1165 00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,720 to consolidate the products and system 1166 00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:30,160 so um but yeah that's obviously an 1167 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,720 impact so you don't ever know that this 1168 00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:34,359 bank that you go with this lender you go 1169 00:46:34,359 --> 00:46:36,920 with this go is going to be around so 1170 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,920 you can you think they are and you you 1171 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,680 proceed like like like everything's 1172 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,119 normal and then all of a sudden at any 1173 00:46:42,119 --> 00:46:43,440 given time they can just pull out of the 1174 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,760 market so having options is always 1175 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,599 important to to sort of shop around and 1176 00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:52,760 be you know have backups and go to 1177 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,480 different lenders that will continue 1178 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,000 lending of course the big four will 1179 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,520 probably not go anywhere but they're 1180 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,240 they're the hardest to apply for loans 1181 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:02,760 with and they're the probably the most 1182 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,640 um sometimes the most expensive 1183 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,520 depending on the type of transaction as 1184 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,839 well but the you know I think combank 1185 00:47:09,839 --> 00:47:13,240 recorded 10 billion do in profit like so 1186 00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:16,520 they're not going anywhere anytime soon 1187 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,480 um but even then they're cutting they're 1188 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,400 cutting cost as well right there's a 1189 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,680 there's a new movement to to Automation 1190 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,000 and to AI so because of that there's 1191 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,319 going to be more and more jobs lost more 1192 00:47:31,319 --> 00:47:33,800 staff that you know jobs that don't need 1193 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,720 to have people to fill them anymore it's 1194 00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:37,640 going to be computer programs that do a 1195 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,880 lot of this stuff and you know how that 1196 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,400 will affect the lending environment well 1197 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,559 I guess only time will tell but I think 1198 00:47:46,559 --> 00:47:47,720 it'll have to be more and more 1199 00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:49,760 transparent more than anything else 1200 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,680 because in order to make you know 1201 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,880 decisions from data well the data needs 1202 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,480 to come through in its raw and true form 1203 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,319 and you can't manipulate it you can't 1204 00:48:01,319 --> 00:48:03,200 you know not disclose things you kind of 1205 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,440 just say yep here it is and am I credit 1206 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,319 worthy right so that will that will have 1207 00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:09,880 U that can speed things up for people 1208 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,319 that are creditworthy but the ones that 1209 00:48:12,319 --> 00:48:15,720 are not well all you can do is just yeah 1210 00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:18,240 learn improve your financial position so 1211 00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:19,760 then you can apply again in the future 1212 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,040 people were so upset with um you know 1213 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,040 the amount of money that um Commonwealth 1214 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,760 Bank like made as a profit like it is a 1215 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,960 business like they're supposed to profit 1216 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,200 like I'm not sure like exactly the ins 1217 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,440 and outs of it um but like if they're 1218 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,079 making money um that's what they're 1219 00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:39,800 there to do if they weren't making money 1220 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,960 they wouldn't be around um it's just 1221 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,400 funny like bank is just a business that 1222 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,559 a very good business that is there to 1223 00:48:46,559 --> 00:48:48,640 make money um you know regardless of 1224 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,520 whether they're charging higher interest 1225 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,559 rates than other Banks if people are 1226 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,799 willing to pay those rates then they'll 1227 00:48:54,799 --> 00:48:56,760 keep charging them you know what I mean 1228 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,240 so it's just like any other business 1229 00:48:58,240 --> 00:48:59,760 they're there to make as much profit as 1230 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,760 exactly right and you as a consumer or a 1231 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,200 borrower you know you can use the bank's 1232 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,200 money to help you create Financial 1233 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,200 Freedom right you can leverage debt to 1234 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,559 put you in a better 1235 00:49:13,559 --> 00:49:15,920 position you don't have to take out debt 1236 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,960 to put you in a worse position like 1237 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,040 that's it's a it's available to you but 1238 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,799 you need to kind of take that 1239 00:49:21,799 --> 00:49:25,319 responsibility to to to educate yourself 1240 00:49:25,319 --> 00:49:27,839 uh to have people around you to guide 1241 00:49:27,839 --> 00:49:30,680 you the right way to actually use it for 1242 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,200 your benefit not your detriment right 1243 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:35,839 because it can happen both ways and it 1244 00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:38,599 does to a lot of 1245 00:49:39,079 --> 00:49:42,960 people 100% so m in terms of like like 1246 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,559 how long it would usually take to 1247 00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:46,319 receive the money after you get a loan 1248 00:49:46,319 --> 00:49:47,920 approved can you just give us a quick 1249 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,359 rundown on literally like the time so 1250 00:49:50,359 --> 00:49:52,920 like investors know or new investors 1251 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,839 know what they can expect it's depends 1252 00:49:55,839 --> 00:49:58,400 on what you're applying for so if you're 1253 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,680 applying for 1254 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,440 um uh say car 1255 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,599 Lo if you've got the car ready to go 1256 00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:08,760 expect you have the money in then 1257 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,359 between 1 to 5 1258 00:50:12,359 --> 00:50:15,559 days if you don't have the car well you 1259 00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:17,079 get the money when the car is available 1260 00:50:17,079 --> 00:50:19,319 right uh if you're buying a residential 1261 00:50:19,319 --> 00:50:21,799 property typically between four and 6 1262 00:50:21,799 --> 00:50:23,839 weeks right that's the settlement period 1263 00:50:23,839 --> 00:50:26,160 so if you apply today um 1264 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:27,839 yes it might get approved quickly or or 1265 00:50:27,839 --> 00:50:29,960 slowly but the money doesn't exchange 1266 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,559 hands until settlement happens 1267 00:50:31,559 --> 00:50:33,880 settlement is when the transfer of the 1268 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,359 existing title will get moved to your 1269 00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:38,200 name and that is subject to the contract 1270 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,200 of sale and typically depending what 1271 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,079 state it is that's 4 to six weeks it can 1272 00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:45,799 extend it can be 90 days sometimes I say 1273 00:50:45,799 --> 00:50:47,680 six month settlements but typically 1274 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,920 that's the process uh if you're applying 1275 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,920 for if you already own the property and 1276 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,839 you want Equity release so you're 1277 00:50:53,839 --> 00:50:55,920 essentially applying for equity that you 1278 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,119 have as cash or consolidation paying off 1279 00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:04,559 other debts then that can vary so it can 1280 00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:07,040 be I'd say probably the fastest you'll 1281 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,880 probably be able to do it uh would be 1282 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,160 around two weeks I'd say um but 1283 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,400 realistically you know it can be done 1284 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,440 faster depending on the bank if they 1285 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:17,760 already have a mortgage there's no new 1286 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,640 mortgage required there's no transfer of 1287 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,520 title it's just prove the loan sign the 1288 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,960 documents nominate the bank account here 1289 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,520 it is done right so that can be done in 1290 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,280 a few days uh some banks can take longer 1291 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,040 can take you know if they have to do a 1292 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,200 valuation on the property uh if they 1293 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,359 need Wet signatures and documents so 1294 00:51:36,359 --> 00:51:38,400 that might that might push it out a bit 1295 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,760 longer maybe three weeks possibly four 1296 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,040 weeks something like that um you just 1297 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,720 have to determine what like if if it's 1298 00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:47,680 about the time frame then you may not 1299 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,280 get the best rate right sometimes the 1300 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,960 ones that offer the best rate are going 1301 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,280 to be the slowest because the more 1302 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,000 applications they have the slower they 1303 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,920 are and usually the more applications 1304 00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:58,920 they have is because they're the're 1305 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,359 cheaper right so it's like you can't 1306 00:52:01,359 --> 00:52:03,760 have it all if you want it all well you 1307 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,200 can't have it pick one what's your 1308 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,200 priority if you want fast pay a little 1309 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,880 bit more on the rate if you want cheap 1310 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,640 wait a bit longer yeah like private 1311 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,839 Finance yeah exactly private Finance 1312 00:52:12,839 --> 00:52:15,400 perfect example you have that same day 1313 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,960 sometimes right literally same day for 1314 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,359 like a million dollars or more yeah but 1315 00:52:20,359 --> 00:52:23,040 you'll pay 20% interest 1316 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,480 rate yeah I spoke to a private Finance 1317 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,119 recently a couple months ago and they're 1318 00:52:27,119 --> 00:52:29,440 like yeah okay we can do it for 20% it's 1319 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:30,200 like 1320 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,160 20% holy but Jesus yeah it's a good uh 1321 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,680 it's a good business to be in private 1322 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,319 Finance right now since interest rates 1323 00:52:37,319 --> 00:52:41,760 have gone up yeah so mate when um you 1324 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:42,720 got something to say no I was just going 1325 00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:45,119 to say if if I can avoid private Finance 1326 00:52:45,119 --> 00:52:47,119 I will but sometimes it's a it's a 1327 00:52:47,119 --> 00:52:50,920 necessary product depending on the 1328 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,520 circumstances 100% so mate in terms of 1329 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,920 like setting up offset accounts um you 1330 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,160 know back in the day offset accounts 1331 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,520 were like a very very good strategy or 1332 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,680 it was you know made out to be a very 1333 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,400 good strategy um can you just like give 1334 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,599 us your opinion on do they really make a 1335 00:53:08,599 --> 00:53:10,799 big difference on setting up a offset 1336 00:53:10,799 --> 00:53:12,559 account to try and pay down your loan 1337 00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:14,480 quicker um you know obviously you're 1338 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,000 offsetting the interest of your loan 1339 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,680 which is great but if you have no money 1340 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,640 in the offset account it's you know 1341 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,839 pretty much pointless um when does the 1342 00:53:21,839 --> 00:53:23,440 offset account really make a big 1343 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,440 difference and should the um the 1344 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:31,079 listeners set one up yeah okay 1345 00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:34,559 so with an offset account they typically 1346 00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:36,680 have an annual fee attached to 1347 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,680 them um or a monthly fee depending on 1348 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,640 the bank and the main thing is if you're 1349 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,760 able to offset the loan more than the 1350 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,280 cost of that annual fee and save on 1351 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,240 interest more than that then it's 1352 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:54,799 probably worth it but if you can't and 1353 00:53:54,799 --> 00:53:55,920 because you you don't have access to 1354 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,799 Capital it's just going to be another 1355 00:53:57,799 --> 00:53:59,760 cost right an ongoing cost an 1356 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,960 unnecessary cost um and depending on the 1357 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,920 bank or the 1358 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,319 lender some of them actually give you a 1359 00:54:07,319 --> 00:54:09,799 bigger discount on your interest rate 1360 00:54:09,799 --> 00:54:12,880 because you chose the offset product so 1361 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,520 if you chose a basic product which 1362 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,680 doesn't have offset and only has redraw 1363 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,160 you're actually paying a higher interest 1364 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,200 rate so you need to work out how much 1365 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,760 interest will I pay on the basic loan 1366 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,440 with no annual fee no offset and how 1367 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,520 much interest will I pay with the offset 1368 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,680 loan and including the annual fee add 1369 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,359 those two up which one in my better off 1370 00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:35,760 pay so sometimes the offset loan makes 1371 00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,640 more sense because you get that 1372 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,839 additional discount so even if you don't 1373 00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:43,079 have extra funds to offset you're still 1374 00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:44,640 better off because you picked the basic 1375 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,520 one you're paying higher interest which 1376 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,760 which kind of Trumps the annual fee 1377 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,040 anyway does that make 1378 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,440 sense yeah definitely yeah but then if 1379 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,880 you go to another bank they'll have the 1380 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,680 exact same interest 1381 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,839 rate uh with it's whether it's a basic 1382 00:55:00,839 --> 00:55:04,079 loan or whether it's an offset loan and 1383 00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:05,599 the only difference is the offset loan 1384 00:55:05,599 --> 00:55:07,280 you pay an annual fee so if you're 1385 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,280 picking a bank like that and you don't 1386 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:11,960 have access to Capital when I'm talking 1387 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,640 when I'm saying 10 grand 20 grand 30 Etc 1388 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:15,920 if you don't have access to that and you 1389 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,559 won't like you're exhausting every scent 1390 00:55:17,559 --> 00:55:18,880 that you have in order to buy this 1391 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,359 property well what exactly are you 1392 00:55:21,359 --> 00:55:24,240 offsetting um your income right your 1393 00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:25,599 income will obviously you have to pay 1394 00:55:25,599 --> 00:55:26,559 the mortgage you have to pay your 1395 00:55:26,559 --> 00:55:28,839 outgoing cost and whatever's left you 1396 00:55:28,839 --> 00:55:31,039 can offset the loan but if that's only 1397 00:55:31,039 --> 00:55:34,599 100 bucks a month or a few hundred well 1398 00:55:34,599 --> 00:55:37,079 if you're paying 400 bucks a year for 1399 00:55:37,079 --> 00:55:39,319 the offset account you might as well 1400 00:55:39,319 --> 00:55:41,920 just go for a basic loan that only has v 1401 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,599 uh a variable basic loan because then 1402 00:55:43,599 --> 00:55:45,280 you can just put extra funds into the 1403 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,680 loan and has the same net effect as an 1404 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,839 offset account so you're actually just 1405 00:55:50,839 --> 00:55:53,039 paying reducing your interest each month 1406 00:55:53,039 --> 00:55:54,240 and now you just don't have an annual 1407 00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:56,119 fee that's what I would recommend if you 1408 00:55:56,119 --> 00:55:58,960 don't have access to Capital but a lot 1409 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,960 of people do have access to Capital or 1410 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,039 they have their parents even I've seen 1411 00:56:03,039 --> 00:56:04,520 that where people like well my parents 1412 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:05,839 have got a house paid off and they're 1413 00:56:05,839 --> 00:56:07,640 sitting on half a million dollars worth 1414 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,640 of cash well they can actually Park that 1415 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,000 money in my offset account and whenever 1416 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,039 they need it they can access it so now 1417 00:56:14,039 --> 00:56:16,000 they're actually reducing their interest 1418 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,920 on their home loan from their parents' 1419 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,000 money because they've got an offset and 1420 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,240 the parents are the ones that have 1421 00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:22,559 access to it not them I mean of course 1422 00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:24,160 they can still withdraw it but typically 1423 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,000 there's a trust Factor when you do that 1424 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,799 right um and so now they're getting the 1425 00:56:28,799 --> 00:56:31,400 benefit of an offset but if they had 1426 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,240 redraw it's probably more risky for the 1427 00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:36,440 parents to do that because when you 1428 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,160 don't have offset technically it's the 1429 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,760 bank's money so you talked earlier about 1430 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,000 economic conditions well one of them is 1431 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,720 hypothetic you had a million dollars 1432 00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:47,920 loan and you had no offset account and 1433 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,319 you put $500,000 of your own money into 1434 00:56:50,319 --> 00:56:52,319 the loan you would have 500,000 1435 00:56:52,319 --> 00:56:53,960 available in redraw and you would owe 1436 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,079 500,000 right but technically that's the 1437 00:56:57,079 --> 00:56:59,440 bank's money they're allowing you to 1438 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,319 have access to the money as a redraw 1439 00:57:02,319 --> 00:57:04,680 facility however in all for all 1440 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,319 intensive purposes that's a principal 1441 00:57:06,319 --> 00:57:09,319 payment so if there's a a run on the 1442 00:57:09,319 --> 00:57:11,880 banks they can say sorry you paid back 1443 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,200 that money it's no longer accessible by 1444 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,480 redraw and you still owe us 500,000 and 1445 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:17,440 they're like hey what happened to my 1446 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,319 other 500 well you decided to put into 1447 00:57:19,319 --> 00:57:21,079 the loan you've paid that back off the 1448 00:57:21,079 --> 00:57:23,000 principal now we've decided we need that 1449 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,880 capital and now you don't have access to 1450 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,079 to it so that's the risk when you don't 1451 00:57:27,079 --> 00:57:28,680 have an offset if you have an offset 1452 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,960 it's a bank account it's your money so 1453 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,200 you you have a sitting an Offset you 1454 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,799 know there's a run on the banks Bank 1455 00:57:34,799 --> 00:57:36,200 can't just say hey we need to withdraw 1456 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:37,599 the money from the offset and put it 1457 00:57:37,599 --> 00:57:39,440 into the loan like no they can't do that 1458 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,520 it's your bank it's your money so it is 1459 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,319 protected in that respect by sitting an 1460 00:57:44,319 --> 00:57:45,680 offset because it's essentially like a 1461 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,119 transactional account um it's not 1462 00:57:49,119 --> 00:57:52,400 necessarily paying to the loan so that's 1463 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,640 yeah that's another example um what 1464 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,280 about about like with like offsets 1465 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,359 obviously there's a difference between 1466 00:57:59,359 --> 00:58:00,799 if you have a principal and interest 1467 00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:04,160 loan to an interest only loan can you 1468 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,559 just explain to us like the difference 1469 00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:08,079 between have offset attached to an 1470 00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:10,160 interest only loan compared to having 1471 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:11,760 the you an offset attached to a 1472 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,240 principal and interest 1473 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,200 loan yeah it's a really good question 1474 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,400 because um this comes up quite a lot 1475 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,640 where I have to explain it to to many 1476 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,799 people so I'll try to explain it the 1477 00:58:22,799 --> 00:58:24,359 best way I can because then I can just 1478 00:58:24,359 --> 00:58:26,160 say hey listen to this and then this 1479 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,960 will explain it to 1480 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,839 you okay so same 1481 00:58:33,839 --> 00:58:37,200 example million dollars right you have a 1482 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,960 million dollar loan and the loan is 1483 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,559 principal and interest PNA if you put 1484 00:58:43,559 --> 00:58:46,880 $500,000 um in an offset account you're 1485 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,039 paying interest on$ 500,000 but you 1486 00:58:49,039 --> 00:58:51,799 still owe a million right but your 1487 00:58:51,799 --> 00:58:53,760 repayments are still based on what you 1488 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,880 owe because you owe a million so you're 1489 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,839 making pre P&R payments on a million 1490 00:58:57,839 --> 00:58:59,720 dollars even though you don't owe a 1491 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,559 million hypothetically you only owe half 1492 00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:04,079 a million right because you're not 1493 00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:05,480 paying it to the loan so you're not 1494 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,440 offsetting you're only offsetting the 1495 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,200 interest you're not actually paying back 1496 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,280 the principal so the bank still expect 1497 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:12,680 you to make principal payments on a 1498 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,839 million dollars and that's where people 1499 00:59:14,839 --> 00:59:16,200 always get a bit frustrated because 1500 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,400 they're like I I only owe 500 but I'm 1501 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,559 still making higher payments well you 1502 00:59:20,559 --> 00:59:22,920 can't have it both ways in this instance 1503 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,520 you can't say I want to make payments of 1504 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,960 500,000 while still having access to the 1505 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,280 other 500 because now you're saying that 1506 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,200 you haven't paid it back it's like if 1507 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:33,839 you tell the bank I don't want access to 1508 00:59:33,839 --> 00:59:36,200 the 500k anymore it's your money then 1509 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,240 they'll do what's called reamortization 1510 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:39,880 so they'll actually you move the money 1511 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,039 from Offset you put it into the loan and 1512 00:59:42,039 --> 00:59:45,119 then they'll reamortize on 500,000 and 1513 00:59:45,119 --> 00:59:46,720 recalculate your payments over the 1514 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,240 remaining term then you'll get lower 1515 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:49,839 payments but now if you ever wanted 1516 00:59:49,839 --> 00:59:51,520 access to the 500k again you need to 1517 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:52,880 apply for it again go through the loan 1518 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,960 process right borrowing capacity credit 1519 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,960 history all of that um if you did 1520 00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,319 interest 1521 00:59:59,319 --> 01:00:02,000 only this is where you get the best of 1522 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,480 both worlds in that if you if you have a 1523 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,599 million dollars and the loan is interest 1524 01:00:07,599 --> 01:00:09,960 only you're paying interest only that's 1525 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,000 it right each month the bank's minimum 1526 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,760 requirement is that you pay interest if 1527 01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,680 you put $500,000 into an offset account 1528 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,000 then your interest is dropping right the 1529 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,400 interest would change because now you're 1530 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,640 getting your your interest is calculated 1531 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,039 on 500,000 so therefore your minimum 1532 01:00:25,039 --> 01:00:28,160 repayment is interest on 500,000 so 1533 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,760 you're not paying interest on the money 1534 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,240 that's offset anymore so the 500k 1535 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:33,760 interest threee essentially and the 1536 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,079 other 500k you're paying interest so 1537 01:00:36,079 --> 01:00:38,119 then you're getting the best of both 1538 01:00:38,119 --> 01:00:39,359 world because now you have still have 1539 01:00:39,359 --> 01:00:41,280 access to 500k and your minimum 1540 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,440 repayment has dropped based on the 1541 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:44,720 remaining balance even though you still 1542 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,599 owe a million technically because the 1543 01:00:46,599 --> 01:00:48,880 interest is being offset the actual 1544 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,680 interest charge has dropped so your rep 1545 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,520 payment has dropped and also the other 1546 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:54,920 misconception is that if you're paying 1547 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,760 interest only you can't pay principal 1548 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,400 well that's not true you can pay 1549 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,200 principal but you've got the choice to 1550 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,720 pay principal when you want to pay it 1551 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,559 not when the bank wants you to pay right 1552 01:01:03,559 --> 01:01:05,359 so you can still make extra payments pay 1553 01:01:05,359 --> 01:01:06,880 it straight to the loan not to the 1554 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,000 offset at any given time you can do it 1555 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,119 in lump sum weekly monthly whatever it 1556 01:01:11,119 --> 01:01:14,760 is um the only caveat I guess is that 1557 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,000 you have to then pay a higher interest 1558 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,599 rate typically for interest only loans 1559 01:01:19,599 --> 01:01:22,960 right but I think that the benefit can 1560 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,440 outweigh the cost uh the 1561 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,119 other 1562 01:01:27,119 --> 01:01:29,559 detriment of interest only I know when 1563 01:01:29,559 --> 01:01:31,200 it when it's not really about your 1564 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,039 question but I thought I'd mention it is 1565 01:01:33,039 --> 01:01:35,720 that it impacts your borrowing capacity 1566 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,400 uh sometimes so if you get an interest 1567 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,599 only loan then your borrowing capacity 1568 01:01:41,599 --> 01:01:43,359 is at a detriment the longer the 1569 01:01:43,359 --> 01:01:45,039 interest only term so if you take it out 1570 01:01:45,039 --> 01:01:47,839 for 5 years then that's affecting your 1571 01:01:47,839 --> 01:01:49,960 borrowing capacity for regular 1572 01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,079 residential consumer 1573 01:01:52,079 --> 01:01:54,240 lending any consumer lending at this 1574 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,359 point typically if it's a bank because 1575 01:01:56,359 --> 01:01:57,680 they're going to look at your principle 1576 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,039 and interest remaining term when they 1577 01:02:00,039 --> 01:02:01,880 calculate repayments so if you did a 1578 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,359 30-year loan term you did a 5year 1579 01:02:04,359 --> 01:02:07,039 interest only you've got 25 years left 1580 01:02:07,039 --> 01:02:09,119 so they're calculating your U stress 1581 01:02:09,119 --> 01:02:12,000 testing your repayments at 25 years p&i 1582 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,000 principal interest versus if you say did 1583 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,480 p&i from the beginning 30 years you've 1584 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,400 stretched it over 30 your minimum 1585 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,200 payment is lower they're stress testing 1586 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,160 30 so now you're able to borrow more uh 1587 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,400 that's that's the only downfall I guess 1588 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,640 so what I try to do my customers is 1589 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,480 typically go for a two or three year 1590 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,799 interest early Max because let's face it 1591 01:02:32,799 --> 01:02:34,079 you're not really going to stick to that 1592 01:02:34,079 --> 01:02:35,640 bank for five years you're probably 1593 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,880 going to refinance in that time anyway 1594 01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,400 so that gives you the opportunity to 1595 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,599 then refinance restructure and go back 1596 01:02:42,599 --> 01:02:44,760 to interest only again for another two 1597 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,559 years another three years yeah 1598 01:02:46,559 --> 01:02:48,079 definitely and that's exactly the same 1599 01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:50,920 thing I tell um um our clients of 1600 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,760 policey property is that like like why 1601 01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,559 would I go interest only why wouldn't I 1602 01:02:55,559 --> 01:02:57,200 just go p&i and I can start paying the 1603 01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,119 commercial property off and I'm like 1604 01:02:59,119 --> 01:03:00,480 well you go interest only because it 1605 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,400 gives you the option if you want to pay 1606 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,119 principal off so you might set it up so 1607 01:03:04,119 --> 01:03:06,640 you pay you're only paying interest and 1608 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,400 then you can pay the principal into the 1609 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,440 loan but then one month you might have 1610 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:11,880 some huge expense you might need an 1611 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,039 operation or something and you're not 1612 01:03:14,039 --> 01:03:16,920 required to pay the principal so you 1613 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,599 have that flexibility going forward to 1614 01:03:19,599 --> 01:03:22,640 have lowest repayments possible now and 1615 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,400 if you want to you can set it up with 1616 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,200 10year pay Down plan so you are paying 1617 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,160 the principal off it's just not required 1618 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,400 from the 1619 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,079 bank exactly I would I would put it 1620 01:03:34,079 --> 01:03:36,319 exactly the same way as you you want to 1621 01:03:36,319 --> 01:03:38,839 have less Financial pressure right uh 1622 01:03:38,839 --> 01:03:40,799 it's not just that you might have a 1623 01:03:40,799 --> 01:03:43,079 change in circumstances right you're you 1624 01:03:43,079 --> 01:03:44,599 know one of you stops working you and 1625 01:03:44,599 --> 01:03:45,960 your partner the other one you have a 1626 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,880 baby one goes part-time so now all of a 1627 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,880 sudden your what your loan got approved 1628 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,279 at to pay principle and interest well 1629 01:03:54,279 --> 01:03:55,240 you're not in a position you don't want 1630 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:56,559 to have to call the bank and say [ __ ] I 1631 01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:58,960 can't afford I'm on financial hardship 1632 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,400 so paying interest makes it makes it 1633 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,440 manageable and then go back to principle 1634 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,559 later and the other misconception is 1635 01:04:05,559 --> 01:04:07,440 that you can switch to interest only 1636 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,640 whenever you want no you can't so a lot 1637 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,720 of time people will apply they'll apply 1638 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,720 for p and I just got interest only call 1639 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,640 the bank can I get interest only uh yeah 1640 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,400 you can but you need to apply for you 1641 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:18,920 need to apply for a new application 1642 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:20,520 they're like what and in the back of the 1643 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,319 head I can't because I'm unemployed now 1644 01:04:22,319 --> 01:04:24,680 right but they won't say that so that's 1645 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,440 why but you can do it the other way so 1646 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,000 if you start at interest only and then 1647 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,640 at one point you know you sell some 1648 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,400 assets you get some you know you get pay 1649 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:34,680 increases you're like I don't want to 1650 01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,279 pay interest on it anymore I want to 1651 01:04:36,279 --> 01:04:38,240 actually pay out to principal if it was 1652 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:39,920 really that important to you and you 1653 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,680 wanted to see the minimum payment 1654 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,720 changed you could call the bank and say 1655 01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,760 please switch me to p&i and they will do 1656 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,359 that and they'll give you a lower rate 1657 01:04:47,359 --> 01:04:49,520 no Financial assessment required no 1658 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,279 application required no documents just 1659 01:04:51,279 --> 01:04:53,520 do it over the phone but the other way 1660 01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:54,720 if you want to go from principal 1661 01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,039 interest interest only no they have to 1662 01:04:57,039 --> 01:04:59,880 reassess everything so that's why better 1663 01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:01,559 to start interest only switch it the 1664 01:05:01,559 --> 01:05:03,200 other way then otherwise you might end 1665 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,079 up in a position where you can't go to 1666 01:05:05,079 --> 01:05:06,960 interest only yeah because you're paying 1667 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,559 interest only and you're like hey I want 1668 01:05:08,559 --> 01:05:10,880 to um change you know to p&i and that 1669 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:12,839 bank's like okay pay me more sweet you 1670 01:05:12,839 --> 01:05:14,160 know of course they're going to like say 1671 01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,079 yeah do it do it come in come in come on 1672 01:05:16,079 --> 01:05:17,200 pay me more but the other way around 1673 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,079 it's like hey you want like you paying 1674 01:05:19,079 --> 01:05:22,160 this and now you want to pay a lot lower 1675 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,760 price why are we doing 1676 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,000 let's check let's just check the 1677 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,960 situation know what I mean yeah exactly 1678 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,559 correct yeah that's a good way I've look 1679 01:05:32,559 --> 01:05:34,720 at it yeah it's like when you owe your 1680 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,200 say you owe your brother some money and 1681 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:37,680 you'd be paying a th000 bucks a month 1682 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,279 hey can I just pay 500 bucks a month 1683 01:05:39,279 --> 01:05:42,960 from now on why uh uh no reason just to 1684 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,680 manage cash 1685 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,279 flow give me back my 1686 01:05:47,279 --> 01:05:50,000 money so we I just want to also touch 1687 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,160 based on the paying uh with an offset 1688 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,160 account with paying the p& so the the 1689 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:57,680 actual like I just want to make sure 1690 01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,319 like this is how I think about it in my 1691 01:05:59,319 --> 01:06:01,559 head so the actual repayments don't 1692 01:06:01,559 --> 01:06:03,599 actually change if you have money in an 1693 01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:07,160 offset for a p&i it's just just changes 1694 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,079 what portion you are actually paying 1695 01:06:09,079 --> 01:06:10,880 down you know what I mean so if you have 1696 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,119 money in the offset then you're paying 1697 01:06:13,119 --> 01:06:15,039 down more of the principal but your 1698 01:06:15,039 --> 01:06:16,880 actual interest repayment does not 1699 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,319 change and if you have no money in that 1700 01:06:19,319 --> 01:06:22,160 offset then you're paying more interest 1701 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,680 um so that's in my mind that's how works 1702 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,839 that's how I understand 1703 01:06:26,839 --> 01:06:30,520 it no no no that's exactly how I explain 1704 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,160 it it's like if you imagine you're 1705 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,200 making the same minimum repayment 1706 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:35,640 whether you when you have money in 1707 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,079 offset well then because the interest is 1708 01:06:38,079 --> 01:06:40,240 reducing each day uh each month because 1709 01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,000 you remember interest acrs daily and 1710 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,319 charges monthly so the the the more 1711 01:06:44,319 --> 01:06:46,279 often you put money into the offset and 1712 01:06:46,279 --> 01:06:47,680 the more amount you put in the offset 1713 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,960 will reduce the interest uh on your 1714 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,520 monthly due date every single month and 1715 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,000 then when you see that interest drop 1716 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,480 drop but your payment is still the same 1717 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:57,920 then more of your payment will go 1718 01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,799 towards the principal rather than the 1719 01:06:59,799 --> 01:07:01,960 interest so then you're essentially 1720 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,359 paying off the loan faster so instead of 1721 01:07:04,359 --> 01:07:06,160 30 years by having money in Offset you 1722 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,240 might pay it off in say 25 years or 20 1723 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:09,720 years depending how much you keep adding 1724 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,079 in there that's how it works um but yeah 1725 01:07:13,079 --> 01:07:14,599 you explained exactly the right way 1726 01:07:14,599 --> 01:07:16,319 splitting the mortgage mate I've done 1727 01:07:16,319 --> 01:07:18,160 this before in the past where I've had a 1728 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,720 portion that's fixed a fixed rate and 1729 01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,240 I've also had a smaller portion that's 1730 01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,039 variable and that's basically like to 1731 01:07:25,039 --> 01:07:27,359 limit my risk against inflation uh 1732 01:07:27,359 --> 01:07:29,839 interest changes uh in the market can 1733 01:07:29,839 --> 01:07:32,359 you just explain like how splitting the 1734 01:07:32,359 --> 01:07:34,400 mortgage can be a good strategy when you 1735 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,079 first buy a 1736 01:07:36,079 --> 01:07:38,839 property yeah yeah so look it's very 1737 01:07:38,839 --> 01:07:41,279 common that people split their loans um 1738 01:07:41,279 --> 01:07:43,559 I usually tell talk to my clients about 1739 01:07:43,559 --> 01:07:45,640 splitting it to get the Best of Both 1740 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,119 Worlds part fixed with limited risk part 1741 01:07:48,119 --> 01:07:50,640 variable with more flexibility um but 1742 01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,680 more risk in terms of uh rate increases 1743 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,319 um 1744 01:07:55,319 --> 01:07:57,400 but at the moment it's a time in the 1745 01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:58,880 market where the fix rate's actually 1746 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,960 higher than your fixed sorry your fix 1747 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,200 rate's higher than you're variable so by 1748 01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,240 doing that you're kind of gambling to an 1749 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,640 extent you're sort of trying to time the 1750 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,200 market and say Hey I want certainty and 1751 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,359 for that certainty I'm willing to pay a 1752 01:08:14,359 --> 01:08:17,520 premium because just in case rates go 1753 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,040 higher I want to know that I've locked 1754 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,158 in my rate even though because the 1755 01:08:23,158 --> 01:08:24,880 variable rate will then go higher than 1756 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,040 the fixed so then at that point in the 1757 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,080 future if that happens then I'm going to 1758 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,000 be uh winning essentially at the moment 1759 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,839 I'm losing I'm taking short-term loss 1760 01:08:33,839 --> 01:08:35,960 with the chance that I'm going to get a 1761 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,319 gain if the fix if the variable rates 1762 01:08:38,319 --> 01:08:42,679 are surpass the fix rates so that's 1763 01:08:42,679 --> 01:08:44,560 that's the time in the market that we're 1764 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,960 in um we if someone wants to do that 1765 01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,799 there's no guarantee that the variable 1766 01:08:49,799 --> 01:08:51,520 rates will keep going higher than the 1767 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,600 fixed and where that can work against 1768 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,000 you is if the fix rate if the variable 1769 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,439 rates drop because say next year they 1770 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,040 start dropping rates and you fix the 1771 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:02,319 majority of your 1772 01:09:02,319 --> 01:09:05,198 loan well you're in a bit of a in a 1773 01:09:05,198 --> 01:09:08,679 pickle uh so to say because if you want 1774 01:09:08,679 --> 01:09:11,198 to get out of the loan say you you fix 1775 01:09:11,198 --> 01:09:13,319 it at say I don't know 6 and a half% and 1776 01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:15,600 the variable rate drops to say five and 1777 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,600 you're like damn it I want to get 5% 1778 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,359 rate but I'm stuck on six and a half in 1779 01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:21,158 the next two years so you say to the 1780 01:09:21,158 --> 01:09:22,880 bank I want to get out of the loan I 1781 01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,279 want to switch it to ver 1782 01:09:24,279 --> 01:09:25,759 they say you can do that but now you 1783 01:09:25,759 --> 01:09:27,719 have to pay break costs and those break 1784 01:09:27,719 --> 01:09:30,198 costs can be significant it can be tens 1785 01:09:30,198 --> 01:09:32,560 of thousands of dollars sometimes so 1786 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:33,960 then you'll just say well I'm not going 1787 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:35,799 to pay $10,000 in break fees I'm just 1788 01:09:35,799 --> 01:09:37,238 going to stick it out for the next two 1789 01:09:37,238 --> 01:09:40,920 years and pay 6 and a half% so by having 1790 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,120 the loan 1791 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,560 split then at least you're getting the 1792 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,319 benefit of the reduced variable rates 1793 01:09:47,319 --> 01:09:49,640 for some of your loan right so then 1794 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,120 you're not sort of thinking damn it I'm 1795 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,399 stuck paying fix for this whole 2 three 1796 01:09:53,399 --> 01:09:54,400 years 1797 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:55,880 some of its variables so you're still 1798 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,880 benefiting some somewhere when it drops 1799 01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:02,679 the other thing is the flexibility on um 1800 01:10:02,679 --> 01:10:05,040 on variable loan so if it's variable yes 1801 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:08,280 it can fluctuate up and down um however 1802 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,840 you can pay it off at any given time 1803 01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:12,360 without any restriction without any 1804 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,159 limitation like we talked about paying 1805 01:10:14,159 --> 01:10:15,960 extra payments and you can have an 1806 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,239 offset account typically if you have a 1807 01:10:18,239 --> 01:10:19,760 fixed loan you can't have an offset 1808 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,199 account there's only like two or three 1809 01:10:21,199 --> 01:10:23,800 banks that offer offset on a fixed loan 1810 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,800 but the majority of them don't so 1811 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,719 therefore you've got the flexibility of 1812 01:10:27,719 --> 01:10:29,880 offsetting making large principal 1813 01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,320 payments when you want putting money in 1814 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,040 redrawing it out you know all that 1815 01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,719 interest only offset that we talked 1816 01:10:36,719 --> 01:10:38,600 about if it's variable you can do all of 1817 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,320 that if it's fixed can't do any of it 1818 01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,960 the maximum you can pay extra is like 10 1819 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,239 grand a year uh and anything more than 1820 01:10:46,239 --> 01:10:48,159 that they can penalize you and say sorry 1821 01:10:48,159 --> 01:10:49,679 you've you've breached your contract you 1822 01:10:49,679 --> 01:10:51,040 told us you're going to lock this fix 1823 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,640 rate in and now we have to charge you 1824 01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,080 break cost to break your loan so so 1825 01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:58,600 that's a yeah that's I guess the 1826 01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,800 downfall of having too much of your loan 1827 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,840 fixed it leave leaves you without the um 1828 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,560 flexibility and if rates drop you're not 1829 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,400 getting the lower rate and you have no 1830 01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,800 offset account linked to it typically so 1831 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,400 yeah I think the obviously the certainty 1832 01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,360 part you need to work out your budget 1833 01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,560 for your household and if if you 1834 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,280 literally cannot afford it and I have 1835 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:22,719 customers like this where they're like 1836 01:11:22,719 --> 01:11:25,000 no I've had fixed before I just want to 1837 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:26,960 know that this is my repayment I don't 1838 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,760 care if race go up or down I just need 1839 01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,560 to know that I can budget and know that 1840 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,239 if I can afford x amount every single 1841 01:11:32,239 --> 01:11:34,400 month for the next three years or two 1842 01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:38,480 years whatever then I'm happy I can save 1843 01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:41,400 I can pay back debt and that's fine we 1844 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,040 can do the fixed loan and we can only 1845 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,520 have a small amount variable 20 grand 30 1846 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,440 grand up to whatever amount you believe 1847 01:11:48,440 --> 01:11:50,560 you can offset during that term so in 1848 01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:52,080 the two years if you think you can save 1849 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:55,040 20 grand then then have a 20 G variable 1850 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,040 loan because then you can pay that off 1851 01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:00,239 and still have access to it uh as redraw 1852 01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:02,480 and have the flexibility to pay it down 1853 01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:04,440 but if you did everything fixed and all 1854 01:12:04,440 --> 01:12:06,760 of a sudden you had all this extra cash 1855 01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:08,440 and you're limited in terms of where you 1856 01:12:08,440 --> 01:12:09,679 can put it because otherwise you're 1857 01:12:09,679 --> 01:12:11,360 going to lose your fix rate or break the 1858 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,080 loan well you probably should have had 1859 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,560 some of a variable split loan make sense 1860 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,679 yeah 100% And this is what like it's 1861 01:12:19,679 --> 01:12:22,679 we're in a bit of a um cuz we're at 1862 01:12:22,679 --> 01:12:23,880 interest rates where it's like the 1863 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,679 average norm um so it's it's actually 1864 01:12:26,679 --> 01:12:28,600 pretty uncertain whether you should fix 1865 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,800 or you should just wait 1866 01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,440 um like personally I'm not going to be 1867 01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:36,320 fixing any of my loans 1868 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,239 um sorry personally I'm not going to be 1869 01:12:39,239 --> 01:12:41,840 fixing any of my loans um for the 1870 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,800 foreseeable future because I do believe 1871 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,400 the interest rates will come back 1872 01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,480 slightly but I think they'll stay around 1873 01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:49,800 this level um for the for a while now 1874 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,719 because this is the average um it comes 1875 01:12:52,719 --> 01:12:54,040 back down to when when interest rates 1876 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:57,480 are very very low um people were fixing 1877 01:12:57,480 --> 01:12:59,280 and that's created the mortgage Cliff 1878 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,080 can you just explain what that is and 1879 01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,560 and how impactful that is for like a lot 1880 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,440 of 1881 01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:08,400 Australians yeah so obviously during 1882 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,280 that period of time when interest rates 1883 01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,280 were really low people were fixing at 1884 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,760 you know 2% below 1885 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,960 2% and the mortgage Cliff is that when 1886 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,800 the loan comes off of fixed in that 1887 01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,800 period of time they're going to now go 1888 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:29,480 to a variable rate that's you know 6% or 1889 01:13:29,480 --> 01:13:32,520 more and that's a massive shock to the 1890 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,920 system because their repayments on 6% 1891 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:38,960 versus 2% are significant um and their 1892 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,440 household may not be able to afford that 1893 01:13:41,440 --> 01:13:43,080 and that's assuming their circumstances 1894 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,719 haven't changed if they've gone worse 1895 01:13:45,719 --> 01:13:48,080 less income and obviously we have 1896 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,000 inflation and cost of living's gone up 1897 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,600 so maybe there's less disposable income 1898 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,120 that's a a scary place to be because now 1899 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,000 your loan is unaffordable so then if you 1900 01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,639 can't afford to keep the house all you 1901 01:13:59,639 --> 01:14:01,920 can do is sell it and then what are you 1902 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:03,760 going to do rent or move to another area 1903 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,800 to buy somewhere cheaper um and still 1904 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:08,360 paying a higher interest rate just less 1905 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:12,040 of a loan amount um but also the the um 1906 01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,320 mortgage prison another termin term 1907 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,040 that's sort of um thrown around that's 1908 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,400 if you're stuck with that bank so if 1909 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,040 you're because remember they they can't 1910 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,560 call that the loan in they can't say now 1911 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,719 that now that you're on 62% and you on 1912 01:14:26,719 --> 01:14:28,320 paper you could only afford you know up 1913 01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,239 to say 4 and A2 when we assess the loan 1914 01:14:30,239 --> 01:14:32,760 or 5 and a half they can't just say now 1915 01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,120 you need to pay us the loan back in full 1916 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:36,960 right they don't do that the bank gave 1917 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:38,920 you a 30-year loan so they kind of have 1918 01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:42,040 to work with you to base based on what 1919 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,600 you can afford to repay and if you're 1920 01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,159 wanting to get a better interest rate 1921 01:14:47,159 --> 01:14:48,719 because they've put you on say six and a 1922 01:14:48,719 --> 01:14:50,600 half but the you know a competitor will 1923 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,880 give you say I don't know 5.9 or 1924 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:53,840 something 1925 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,080 well you want to refinance and logically 1926 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,480 you think well if if I'm paying 6 and a 1927 01:14:58,480 --> 01:15:00,320 half now and another bank's pay paying 1928 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:01,040 me 1929 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,920 5.9 why can't I get the loan because 1930 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:06,440 it's lower so if I can if I can show 1931 01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:08,560 that I can pay the 6.5 then I should be 1932 01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:09,920 able to get the loan for 5.9 because 1933 01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:11,920 it's a lower payment right but it's not 1934 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,760 as simple as that the banks do a stress 1935 01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:16,920 test so they calculate 3% above the 1936 01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,000 actual rate so they're going to stress 1937 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,000 test your situation and say all right F 1938 01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,760 pay 5.9 on the new new loan on the 1939 01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:25,159 existing balance you've had the same 1940 01:15:25,159 --> 01:15:26,639 balance or it's come down slightly in 1941 01:15:26,639 --> 01:15:28,880 the last two or three years uh we're 1942 01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,239 going to calculate that instead of 1943 01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:32,400 calculating 5.9 we're going to calculate 1944 01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:37,480 that at um what's that 8.9 all right so 1945 01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:39,080 can you afford the repairments at nearly 1946 01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,679 9% probably not and because you can't 1947 01:15:42,679 --> 01:15:44,239 they can't approve the loan for you even 1948 01:15:44,239 --> 01:15:45,560 though it's the exact same amount you 1949 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,760 already owe so that's the prison that 1950 01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,360 you're in because you can't get a new 1951 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,280 loan to refinance you're stuck with the 1952 01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:52,639 same bank that originally let you the 1953 01:15:52,639 --> 01:15:56,920 money so you're at I guess you're at the 1954 01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:58,639 control of whatever they want to charge 1955 01:15:58,639 --> 01:16:00,719 you they don't unless you sell that's 1956 01:16:00,719 --> 01:16:04,400 your only way out so the way they've 1957 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:08,520 tackled that so that people still can 1958 01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:12,000 have a opportunity to refinance is four 1959 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,040 Banks or five banks have come up with a 1960 01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,760 a streamline process with a special APPA 1961 01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:21,400 ruling where they can use a 1% buffer 1962 01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,880 instead of a 3% buff them so if they can 1963 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,360 get a rate of say 5.9 they'll calculate 1964 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,000 it at 6.9 so if they can still show some 1965 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,239 level of affordability that stress test 1966 01:16:32,239 --> 01:16:34,440 then they can still refinance but to be 1967 01:16:34,440 --> 01:16:35,880 honest with you I haven't done many of 1968 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,560 them I've done like two the most of 1969 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,480 people who are with a a bank that 1970 01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:43,000 they're in a mortgage uh prison 1971 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,000 typically the banks have been flexible 1972 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,560 in giving them a competitive rate what 1973 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,360 the in terms of what the variable uh 1974 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,120 rate would be that the market is 1975 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:58,120 offering so so they're not in a in a in 1976 01:16:58,120 --> 01:16:59,960 a way they are in a prison but the 1977 01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:01,560 prison is giving them a rate that they 1978 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,719 would get anyway so that's 1979 01:17:03,719 --> 01:17:07,199 okay right it's only if that bank is not 1980 01:17:07,199 --> 01:17:09,840 giving them a um a discount if they're 1981 01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,800 not matching other Banks and they're 1982 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,840 just forcing them to pay a higher rate 1983 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:16,400 that's when that that's it's obviously 1984 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:17,880 not a good situation to be in but if 1985 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:19,520 they're willing to price it for you and 1986 01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:21,000 and bring the rate down to whatever the 1987 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:24,320 Market's offering then yeah that's 1988 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:25,679 you're pretty much that's the best 1989 01:17:25,679 --> 01:17:27,320 you're going to get to an extent at 1990 01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,159 least for this period of time because 1991 01:17:29,159 --> 01:17:32,000 remember if you're adding 3% buffer well 1992 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,400 then that means that you you're 1993 01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,760 protecting the market for rates to go up 1994 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,960 to 9% but realistically will they go up 1995 01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,040 that high what market conditions do we 1996 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:41,880 need to be in for that to 1997 01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,840 happen I don't know you tell me like if 1998 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,280 people owe more of a million dollars if 1999 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,760 they're paying 9% I'm pretty sure most 2000 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:49,719 people aren't going to be borrowing 2001 01:17:49,719 --> 01:17:51,320 money anymore and that's going to affect 2002 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,719 the economy at at Large yeah there has 2003 01:17:53,719 --> 01:17:56,560 to be like some you know sense in in the 2004 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,480 actual rate that they're putting on top 2005 01:17:58,480 --> 01:18:00,760 of the of the rate that's already there 2006 01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,159 like because we were so low because it 2007 01:18:03,159 --> 01:18:05,040 was like literally like record low 2008 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:08,400 interest at 2% 3% on top of that was 2009 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:09,800 actually pretty fair it's actually 2010 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,120 probably a little bit under it probably 2011 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,159 should have been like 4% to get us like 2012 01:18:13,159 --> 01:18:17,239 this like 6% like where it could go but 2013 01:18:17,239 --> 01:18:19,400 there has to be uh you know a little bit 2014 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,639 of sense on like okay well is it going 2015 01:18:21,639 --> 01:18:24,760 to go to 9% probably not like that 2016 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,679 that's a really like we've already like 2017 01:18:27,679 --> 01:18:30,960 have a huge cost of living right now CPI 2018 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,560 is going down although petrol prices are 2019 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,880 still up a little um but 2020 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,239 realistically there has to be some sense 2021 01:18:39,239 --> 01:18:40,800 saying it's probably not going to go to 2022 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:42,520 9% and if it 2023 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,040 is there's going to be some economic 2024 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:46,520 catastrophe again like it's just going 2025 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,120 to be way too much interest for people 2026 01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,000 and there's going to be some serious 2027 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,600 like ramifications from that um and 2028 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,239 there already have been it hasn't been 2029 01:18:55,239 --> 01:18:58,560 like as hugely widely reported um but 2030 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:00,400 people have been having to sell people 2031 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,600 have been losing their houses um it's 2032 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:06,679 just not widely reported um but in terms 2033 01:19:06,679 --> 01:19:08,360 of like where the interest rates could 2034 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,159 go now um if we're at like you know six 2035 01:19:11,159 --> 01:19:14,080 or 7% for a commercial property then the 2036 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:15,639 the actual buffer they put on it should 2037 01:19:15,639 --> 01:19:18,040 only be like one or one and a half% it 2038 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,600 should it should be minimized like it 2039 01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:21,960 has been with um that product you're 2040 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,840 talking about 2041 01:19:25,199 --> 01:19:27,560 yeah yeah exactly right I think that's 2042 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,400 probably where things will go at some 2043 01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,920 point next year um where they realize 2044 01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:33,360 that rates aren't going to go that high 2045 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:35,600 so they're probably going to go across 2046 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,120 the board and only put a one and a half 2047 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,440 percent buffer or 2% buffer maybe Max um 2048 01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:42,840 to allow more people to borrow and to 2049 01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,760 keep the economy moving um and one other 2050 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:48,440 thing I want to touch on which was the 2051 01:19:48,440 --> 01:19:51,120 the Le stock product um for commercial 2052 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:54,440 property so that's a that's been a tough 2053 01:19:54,440 --> 01:19:56,840 product to get across the line since 2054 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,440 we've had rate Rises because because of 2055 01:19:59,440 --> 01:20:01,480 the rate Rises they've added on the 2056 01:20:01,480 --> 01:20:03,239 stress test calculations on the way they 2057 01:20:03,239 --> 01:20:05,840 calculate the interest coverage 2058 01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,360 ratio but one of the banks and I won't 2059 01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,920 tell you who that bank is because um I I 2060 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:12,639 need to determine your circumstances 2061 01:20:12,639 --> 01:20:14,560 first but One bank has just come out 2062 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,600 with a new le stock product uh in the 2063 01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,360 last two months and it is basically 2064 01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:22,239 blowing the other Banks out of the water 2065 01:20:22,239 --> 01:20:24,400 in terms of of borrowing capacity it's 2066 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,480 back to what it was it's 1.5 times 2067 01:20:26,480 --> 01:20:28,920 interest cover ratio on the actual rate 2068 01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,960 it's up to 65% lvr and we're talking 2069 01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,800 about rates between 6.54 and 6.59% that 2070 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,600 we're getting right now so if we're 2071 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:41,600 netting net percent net 6.5% net yield 2072 01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:45,080 even 6.2 maybe on a commercial property 2073 01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,360 that should be enough to actually borrow 2074 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,719 65% lvr so if you can get 65 at that 2075 01:20:50,719 --> 01:20:52,560 rate and at the moment there's a promo I 2076 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:53,480 don't I don't know how long that promo 2077 01:20:53,480 --> 01:20:56,080 is going to be but they're waving uh 2078 01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,480 depending on which state you're in I've 2079 01:20:57,480 --> 01:20:58,880 noticed that they're actually waving the 2080 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,880 application fee which is up to 75% of 2081 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,159 the loan amount so no application fee 2082 01:21:04,159 --> 01:21:05,920 and they're also covering the valuation 2083 01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:07,719 cost as well and you can imagine that 2084 01:21:07,719 --> 01:21:09,320 could be two three grand sometimes for 2085 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,440 commercial property so essentially next 2086 01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:14,719 to nothing in fees um no service ability 2087 01:21:14,719 --> 01:21:15,960 assessment except for the rent and 2088 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,080 you're getting 65% lvr and remember I 2089 01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,040 also do Equity release to cover that 2090 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:22,840 deposit as well so if you've got enough 2091 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,560 capacity to to borrow the deposit the 2092 01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:28,760 35% that you need uh plus stamp Duty 2093 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,239 plus say buyers agent fee well you could 2094 01:21:31,239 --> 01:21:35,840 literally get um 100% loan and otherwise 2095 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:36,920 wasn't possible because of your 2096 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,000 borrowing power um it won't be you know 2097 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,239 positive cash flow if you borrowed 2098 01:21:41,239 --> 01:21:42,920 everything but at least you're getting 2099 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,040 in right and if you got access to that 2100 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,320 that equity and that you know even if 2101 01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,400 you got some cash contribution you know 2102 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:51,320 I'm doing one at the moment for you know 2103 01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,520 one and a half million so the max loan 2104 01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:55,960 amount is 1 and a half million for this 2105 01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:58,360 product so what's 1 and a half million 2106 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:00,960 what 65% on 1 and a half million what's 2107 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,080 that I don't know uh I can't calculate 2108 01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:04,520 in my head right now but that's that's 2109 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,159 getting them at least to2 something 2110 01:22:07,159 --> 01:22:08,440 million doll property so it's a one and 2111 01:22:08,440 --> 01:22:11,920 a half million um starting 2112 01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:13,880 deposit No 2113 01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:17,040 loan no one and a half million is 65% so 2114 01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,120 calculate that so if you get one and a 2115 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,280 half million make that 65% so yeah so 2116 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,880 divide that by 65 and times it by by by 2117 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:32,199 10 so div by 65 by 100 is 65% of 1.5 2118 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,480 million no the other way around you want 2119 01:22:35,480 --> 01:22:39,800 1.5 million to actually be 65% of a x 2120 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,880 purchase price somewhat does that make 2121 01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,880 sense 2122 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:49,480 so so the way I would calculate that is 2123 01:22:49,480 --> 01:22:54,560 one and a half million divided by 2124 01:22:55,520 --> 01:23:01,639 65 okay times it by 100.5 divided by 65 2125 01:23:01,639 --> 01:23:04,760 times 100 so it's 2126 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,960 2376 by 2127 01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:12,120 100 see yeah so $2.3 million purchase 2128 01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:13,600 price you can 2129 01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,280 get as a purchase price and borrow 1.5 2130 01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:20,400 million on a least stock loan yes 65% 2131 01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,679 you'll have to uh share what uh Bank 2132 01:23:22,679 --> 01:23:24,440 doing that with me off air cuz that 2133 01:23:24,440 --> 01:23:27,080 sounds like an absolute Ripper product 2134
