At Investors Choice Mortgages we believe that First homebuyers have the opportunity to be the wealthiest generation of property owners that our country has ever seen.
Affordability is obviously an issue and it means first homebuyers must consider their first property purchase through a different set of eyes than their parents or those before them. The reality is that most first home buyers will not be living in their first home in 20 years as their grandparents did. In fact we believe that first homebuyers will not be living in their first property within three to five years of the purchase.
If this sounds like you then you are not really a first home buyer you are a first property buyer and this is where the opportunity for your to realign your thinking and start thinking strategically about this purchase will allow you to really create a wealth foundation for you and your family.
With this in mind here at Investors Choice Mortgages we are here to support you in a number of ways:
You need to start thinking like an investor – you need to know how an investor assesses property for its wealth potential and how to select the right property. On one hand you are a little different to most investors because you have an extra dimension to consider – convenience. Although there are over 15,575 suburbs and towns within Australia, based on your work and family commitments you are usually limited to about 20-40 suburbs for your initial research – depending on where you are willing live.
However to truly make your first property purchase work you’ll need to know how to research those suburbs and compare them. You’ll need to know exactly what you can afford as a maximum purchase price.
You’ll also need a flexible loan so that it can change as your needs change- so if you decide to upgrade and move you can turn the well-bought property in an in-demand area into an investment property. Many first homebuyers make this mistake and it ultimately prevents them from turning their property into an investment. They start with a homeowners loan, like their parents did. This means is that they often have prevented many of the tax benefits that a finance lending structure built purposefully for their flexibility and specific circumstances would allow.
