First Home Buyer

In a traditional home loan, every borrowed dollar accrues interest from […]

Dear All,  AffordAssist challenges the “Sameness Equation” that suggests entering the property market requires taking on as much debt as possible, or relying on government intervention, the bank of mum and dad, SMSF arrangements, shared equity, or other high-cost deposit solutions.

Dear All,  In today’s market—wealth management, financial planning, accounting, lending, mortgage broking, development, construction, real estate, buyers’ agency, immigration, and property advisory—generating a qualified buyer is no small feat.

It requires commitment to a new system, new laws, new culture, new social norms, and often a new version of oneself. Assimilation begins with a decision.A decision that this is no longer temporary

Dear All,  Traditionally, the word deposit has meant the same thing in Australian property:A large sum of cash upfront — or cash sourced through external funding, guarantees, the Bank of Mum and Dad, SMSFs, complex and often expensive financial arrangements, unsuitable loan products, capital pools, government grants, permanent subsidies, or third-party investors.
