“Begin with the end in mind.”
Stephen Covey

Plus, tune in to hear how you can easily calculate the cost of your lifestyle (thereby how much you need to retire), understand the math behind reverse mortgages and learn: How realistic is the living off equity strategy?

With today’s tightening rate cycle, it’s no surprise that many folks are refocusing and replanning their lending strategies to secure their cash flows. 

 That’s why, in this week’s episode we’re honouring those folks who are focusing on a “prevention rather than a cure” (and encouraging others to get on board!) by unpacking 4 REAL mortgage stories from our own brokers covering:  

👉 Refinancing before maternity leave when she’s the main breadwinner and there’s a history of health complications,  

👉 Navigating cash flow challenges as a single parent (The solution this parent decides to go with is downright inspirational and represents the choices MANY parents are facing!), 

👉 Relocating across states with jobs that CAN’T be done remotely, and… 

👉 Exactly why you need good lending advice from a qualified, experienced broker!  

If you can’t tell folks, this episode is packed full of evergreen wisdom that’ll reveal how to navigate cash flow challenges and optimise your lending strategy today.

436 | Warning! Don’t Fall For THESE Mortgage Myths


Last week we sat down with one of our Mortgage Brokers and well, they shared a client’s story which completely shattered our hearts and became the driver behind today’s show….

You see, this client had fallen for a common but sadly misguided lending myth which resulted in her losing THOUSANDS of dollars…😮🙁   

That’s why, in this episode, we’ve switched things up to become Ben and Bryce, your Mortgage MythBusters!!  

From debunking the 8 most common mortgage myths to unpacking where these misconceptions came from, we’ll be sorting fact from fiction as we determine which myths are tales of caution to heed, and which are just misinformed opinions.  

 And yes, we DO actually share the horror story which was the motivator of today’s show – tune in to 50:03 to hear what happens when bankers dish out the wrong advice  😞😭  

Seriously folks, avoid falling into the same lending mistakes and find out the truth in today’s episode.  

Tune in now or watch the episode below 😊  >>

431 | Paying Too Much Interest? 6 Ways To Avoid Overpaying

A mortgage is one the biggest loans most people will ever take out in their life. It’s a scary thought.  

Now here’s the only thing scarier than that…  

Being stuck in Mortgage Jail – and not realising it!  

This sad truth is unfortunately what too many folks are facing, especially with rising rates. That’s why in Episode 431, we’re shining a light on why EVERYONE needs an investment-savvy broker to help them break out of Mortgage Jail and stop overpaying on interest – for good.   

To help us do this, we’re sharing real client stories from our amazing team of investment-savvy brokers who work at the coal face of the lending game every single day.

(For the folks that don’t know – we’ve had the absolute privilege and honour of changing thousands of clients’ lives through Empower Wealth, our award-winning financial advisory.)

From refinancing to bridging, we’ll share 6 creative and clever ways that they’ve found the best solution for our clients and beaten the banks at their own game.  

 And of course, we’ll be dialling it up with tons more wisdom like…
👉 How to tell the difference between an average broker and an investment-savvy broker?
👉 What is Mortgage Prison (and why the banks DON’T want you to know about it)
👉 Why You Need to Fall In Love With The Finances (NOT the bank) and much, much more!  

Another episode with so much gold, listen in now!  

 

P.S. If you’d like to do beat the banks too and save thousands of dollars in interest like our clients already have, why not work with our team! Reach out today for a 100% free, no-obligation chat today >>
