Charlie – how long you been broking? Its a perfect time to win new clients, and perhaps focus on marketing to a specific niche, the upfronts will cover your costs and you can build your trail….then find a trail book later on. Also, look at what else are you providing other than broking? the market I believe will be based on a product suite rather than specialist mortgage broking…
Cheers Ivan
thanks, I’m month 2.5 into broking :)
still getting lender accreditations and learning their products
Trail books are generally in high demand – I know my aggregator sells them quickly and there’s generally a list of interested buyers.
If you’re genuinely interested then best to contact connective and ask them to keep you in mind when something comes up.
thanks :)
I think I’m already on the list, but so far not a thing yet.
Hi Team,
For refinance of investment properties to extract equity you can go to 90% including LMI.For purchases you can go to 90% including LMI.
Best rates for 80 % is 4.12% with liberty.Rgerds
wow, a taboo topic to ask advices on this forum?thought this is the site with some of the best brokers, or maybe not?
More that brokers who have years of experience and dedicate time for themselves and their staff get annoyed that there are fly-by-nighters who give advice to client’s based on what they read on a forum instead of doing in-depth research.
this is month 2 for me,
yes, I should know all the products of the lenders by now? :)
thanks Richard,
clients want to get the maximum equity out, currently about $330k equity in these two properties. they looking to use whatever equity they can out to build more properties or businesses.
reading, re-reading, re-reading, etc…and still hard to figure out which is the best lenders.
clients has two other properties and want to do the same as these two, so just trying to see how these first two go.
my question is to know more about this industry as i’m thinking of selling my other business to also start in this industry. since it’s also regulated by ASIC, I can’t be in too many different industries as I just can’t duplicate myself to be on top of the regulations.
the NCCP regulations on this industry is really tough now, decreasing the number of lenders in the industry. I think the industry is lot tougher now due to the bad ones in the industry.
sounds like better to get the FP licence before buying the trail book so I can get the trails paid directly to my licence? does it not make sense for a person to take on complimentary products such as mortgage broking and financial planning? what other products would be complimentary products to mortgage broking, financial planning, and real estate?
interesting, if it is true that you can increase your borrowing capacity by increasing the number of trusts/companies that you setup then won’t everyone be doing that?
