Make the most of your investment dollars

Knowing your limits and the market will help to expand your property portfolio.

Why do some people struggle to buy one investment property and yet others manage to own five or six? It's not that they have more money... 

If you're interested in investing in property, here are some great tips.

We also run regular investment seminars to educate people to invest wisely to secure their financial future. The next Australian Property Update we are holding in conjunction with Bluewealth Property is on Tuesday 3 April at 6pm in the Sydney CBD - call me on 9212 2275 or email me to secure your place or find out more details.

Check out our website for more tips and tools to help you buy a home or investment property.

Auctions indicate it's still a buyers' environment!

There's a great article in SMH Domain this week about the auction results for Sydney since the "selling season" began.  Whilst not every home is sold by auction, they are a great indicator as to what's happening in the marketplace - and it's telling us that it's a buyers' market!  Read more 

So whether you're a first home buyer, next home buyer or an investor, now is a great time to buy.

Thanks to all those savvy investors who joined us for our Australian Property Update seminar last week!  It was very successful with over 100 attendees which shows we have many smart investors wanting to take action to secure their financial future.  If you missed this seminar, let me know and I'll put you on our guest list for next time, and also send you some notes from this seminar.

If we can help you in your home purchase, please let us know.  02 9212 2275 or email philip.sangster@mortgagechoice.com.au.  Also, our website has lots of great tools and tips www.mortgagechoice.com.au/philip.sangster

Interest Rate News Flash!

Rates are down for the first time in a year. 

What does that mean for you?

First home buyers:

It's never been a better time to buy!  Stamp duty exemptions for established homes will end on the 1st of January 2012, prices are bound to increase as demand builds and the banks are competitive - so if you haven't already started serious house hunting, start now!

Call us to make sure your finance is in order so that you can confidently negotiate or bid at auction, knowing that everything is in place for you to finalise your purchase.


Investors:

With interest rates down, house and apartment prices are sure to rise as demand grows, so it's vital that you get in early to beat the price rise.  Both NSW & Queensland governments have great incentives to invest in new builds under $600K, and there's tons of other opportunities that are ready and waiting.

Call us to find out more about these incentives and opportunities, or join us for our Investment Seminar on Wednesday 9th November at 6pm at Swisshotel in Sydney. Follow this link for more details or to book your seat.


Next home buyers:

If you're thinking about your next home, get in early before the prices go up and the differential between your current home and your dream home increases.  The interest rate drop means that there will be an increase in market activity, buyers wil become more confident and the banks are already competitive, so it's the perfect opportunity to take that next step.

Give us a call if you want to have a chat and we can run some scenarios to calculate your borrowing capacity and arrange pre-approval so that you're ready to go when you find that property.



Whether you're just taking your first step into home ownership, upgrading your family home or building your portfolio of invesment properties, we're always happy to help arrange your finance so that it's best suited to your current and future plans.


Drop us an email or call us on 02 9212 2275.  Make sure your money is ready when you are!

Check out our website for some great tools to help you along the way.

Please feel free to pass our eNewsletter on to family, friends and colleagues who are in the market for a new property.

Happy house hunting!

Investors are being told to buy NOW!

We've been saying it for a little while now and the media is catching on...

As reported in The Adviser (Industry news for mortgage and finance brokers), "With property prices at the bottom of the cycle, investors are being told to buy now.

Australian Property Monitors senior economist Andrew Wilson said investors should not be put off by trouble abroad, as the Australian economy is, by and large, stable."

If you need help finding the right property or securing your finances, or just want to have a chat about your own circumstances, please call!  9212 2275

Thoughts become things...

So Choose the Good Ones

This has to be one of my favourite quotes.  It's a great reminder of the power of our thoughts and our mindset.

If we think good stuff, focus on the possibilities, dream, plan, set goals, surround ourselves with positive, successful people - it's can't help but have a positive effect on us.

Our attitude is a choice, just as our thoughts are.

So make them good.  You'll have a much better day!
