End-of-month prompt: take 10 minutes to review your home loan—current rate, fees, offset balance, and your 2026 goal. Small tweaks compound over years. If you’d like a quick review framework, DM me. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Rate movements get headlines, but your plan matters more. If rates rise or fall, do you: keep repayments the same to pay off faster, or reduce repayments to free cashflow? There’s no one-size-fits-all. If you want to run scenarios, message me. — Newstart Financial Solutions

LMI (mortgage insurance) isn’t ‘wasted money’ in every case. Sometimes it’s a bridge into the market sooner; sometimes it’s avoidable with a different strategy. Compare the cost vs the benefit of waiting. Unsure? Ask. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Renovating? Refinancing for renos can work well, but timing matters: quotes, valuations, and how lenders treat ‘as-is’ vs ‘as-complete’. A clear budget + contingency saves headaches. Want to sanity-check the approach? DM me. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Investment property loans: structure depends on cashflow, future plans, and lender policy (get advice tailored to you). Small choices—IO vs P&I, offset vs redraw—add up. If you’re considering investing, let’s chat. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Loan health check: if your repayment feels ‘tight’ lately, look at (1) rate, (2) loan term remaining, (3) whether you’re on principal+interest vs interest-only, and (4) your buffers. Happy to help you map options without the jargon. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Open homes can be emotional. A quick ‘due diligence’ routine helps: building/pest timing, strata report (if applicable), recent comparable sales, and conditions on finance. What’s your biggest question about buying right now? — Newstart Financial Solutions

Offset accounts: small habit, big impact. Parking your salary in offset even for a few days each pay cycle can reduce interest without changing your repayment. It’s not glamorous, but it works. Want a simple setup idea? Ask me. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Pre-approval isn’t just a number—it’s a plan. The strongest ones reflect verified income/expenses, realistic living costs, and a buffer. It can also speed up offers when you find the right place. Need a checklist? DM me. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Thinking refinance? Check for ‘break costs’ if you’re on a fixed rate, and ask what happens to your offset/redraw when you switch. Surprises here are common. If you want help working out the trade-offs, reach out. — Newstart Financial Solutions
January 18, 2026 at 8:38 PM
Fixed, variable, or split? The best choice usually matches your risk comfort + cashflow. Fixed can buy certainty; variable can buy flexibility. Splitting can hedge both. If you’re weighing options for 2026, I’m happy to talk it through. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Australian property market tip: don’t just watch headline prices. Look at days on market, vendor discounts, and stock levels in your suburb—these change faster than national averages. If you want help interpreting what you’re seeing, message me. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Buying a property soon? Before you fall in love with a listing, run the ‘boring numbers’: repayments at +1–2% higher rates, strata/body corp, insurance, and a buffer for surprises. It makes the fun part less stressful. Questions welcome. — Newstart Financial Solutions

Mortgage review idea: once a year, check 3 things—rate, features you actually use (offset/redraw), and your goals (pay off sooner vs invest). Loans drift over time. If you’re unsure what to compare, happy to point you in the right direction. — Newstart Financial Solutions
January 12, 2026 at 8:34 PM
Refinancing isn’t just chasing the lowest rate. Ask: what’s the total cost (fees, cashback conditions, offset access, redraw rules)? A 0.2% drop can be wiped out by the wrong features. Want a quick sense-check? DM me. — Newstart Financial Solutions
