Episode 17 - Finance with Steve Part 2


Listen Later

Welcome to episode 17 of The Enthusiast Lab,

In today's episode we have a long-awaited special guest – Stephen Lee from Indpeth Finance. We will be diving into all things finances because who better to answer the questions, than a mortgage broker!
 This episode is be released as part 2 in a two-part series, where we deep dive into all the finance questions people ask us on a regular basis.

Today we talk about saving options and grants. We will discuss the WA State First Home Owners Grant (FHOG), Federal Single Parent Home Loan, Federal First Home Lenders Scheme. We then dive into what is a lenders mortgage insurance, what is stamp duty, what is a guarantor loan, what are genuine savings and what is Keystart.

In the second part of the episode we discuss the different savings methods; discussing the 1% deposit option all the way to a 20% deposit.
 
 To answer the most commonly asked question: how much do you need to save? 
 The answer is much harder to answer than most realise, because it really depends on your financial situation. 
 As a general rule of thumb, 5k is a great place to start to get the ball rolling, but 25K is the magic number for better bank options and lower rates
