Welcome to Season 6, Episode 4 of the Expat Mortgage Podcast, where we discuss the latest issues of securing and maintaining an Australian mortgage whilst you are an Australian expat. In this episode, James Anderson and Jeremy Harper unpack the most common mistakes they see with clients—from fearing equity and delaying action, to prioritising paying off the home before investing, making tax-driven decisions that kill borrowing capacity, holding on to bad debt (credit cards and novated leases), and chasing cash flow at the expense of long-term capital growth. They also cover why pre-approval matters, how to model scenarios properly, and practical ways to structure your portfolio so you can build wealth now and retire with confidence.
