In this episode of The MTDC Lounge, Matt sits down with Nick Jones from Aussie to unpack everything you really need to know before chasing your dream home.
Nick’s a seasoned mortgage broker with over a decade of experience helping first-home buyers, investors and owner-builders across Newcastle, NSW and beyond. Together they talk about why finance should be the first step in your building journey, the biggest myths about brokers, and how the latest Home Guarantee Scheme updates could help you get into the market sooner.
They also dive into:
How to plan your finance before you even draw up plans
What lenders really look for if you’re self-employed or on maternity leave
How to avoid nasty surprises in your build contract and quotes
Why paying a little extra off your loan could save you years (and a small fortune)
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, renovating, or planning a knock-down rebuild, this episode is full of practical, no-BS advice straight from someone in the trenches.
