Investors could be missing new lending opportunities as second- and third-tier lenders ramp up competition, making finance strategy and cash flow more important than ever.
On The Property Nerds podcast, Arjun Paliwal speaks with broker Corey Goldby about a post-budget lending shake-up, as second- and third-tier lenders compete harder for investors with more flexible borrowing options.
Goldby argues against mapping out a decade of purchases, instead focusing on getting the next deal right, with cash flow, lending policy and available funds shaping each move.
The pair discuss investors buying several properties before pausing, selling at a loss to reduce debt and the transaction costs that can erode gains when selling and re-entering the market.
They also examine the importance of keeping a cash buffer when releasing equity, aligning finance and accounting advice, and choosing ownership structures that support borrowing and income distribution.
For business owners facing tax debt, Goldby points to alternative lending options, including high-LVR and low-documentation loans, while noting the extra interest costs that can come with them.
