We’ve got Phil Tarrant from Smart Property Investment Podcast and Alex Whitlock, the Mortgage Business Director at Momentum Media for today’s Bonusisode folks!

What are we chatting about?

Well, it’s all about the future of the mortgage broking industry following the Banking Royal Commission’s Final Report and how will it impact the consumers moving forward.

It’s not very often that we have a trade-specific podcast, but as this will have a significant impact when it gets rolled out, we thought it’s crucial to increase the awareness on it.

Here are some of the links that we spoke about…

Merry Christmas! It’s the first Christmas on The Property Couch and Bryce and Ben is definitely in a festive mood. In this podcast they will be sharing some of their stories on mortgage brokers and what role do they play in building a property portfolio.

We’ve spoken about this before in Episode 17 where we talked about the concept of a Personal Banker. In this episode, we’ll list out the criteria to look for when you are thinking about including a mortgage broker into your property team. Yes, it does need to be an investment savvy broker but what else? Bryce and Ben will also be discussing about why loan structure and a sound finance strategy is crucial.

We will also be answering this question from Andrew:
Hi guys, loving the podcast. You’ve talked in past episodes about what to look out for when choosing to engage a property manager for your investment property. Could you discuss how you would go about selecting a mortgage broker? I have utilised the services of mortgage brokers in the past and have found that many of them are purely transactional and only use the big 4 lenders.
