Now it's time to focus and I want you to listen closely because there are some tripping hazards in 2022, that if you don’t concentrate on, will slow your property investment success this year.

The biggest tripping hazard… F👏I👏N👏A👏N👏C👏E (Finance)

Firstly, if you need an affirmation, use ‘There will always be finance for my property’... I firmly believe that.

However, it’s taking longer than ever to find a product that suits that you’re aiming for. This is across the board for both residential and commercial.

The reason being is that lenders want to do due diligence, but also don’t want to get sucked into the hype bubble from last year, where there was a lot of overpaying for properties.

So, you are going to have to stay resilient when it comes to finding finance. You are going to get a lot of NOs and you are going to come across a lot of products where you think WT eff is this?!

Ultimately you will get the finance you need but it could take 3-6 months (or sometimes longer). The investors that will succeed this year will build relationships with lenders and be able to present why a deal works to a lender so that they can get the best rates and loan to value.

Those who will fall flat in the mud, won’t prepare and won’t spend the valuable time needed to get this right.

I delve into this in more detail on my Podcast and share some things I’ve learnt recently in regards to refinancing property (Oh and some super exciting news!)
