The financial lending game continues to change and has a major impact on our property markets and the ability for each of us to finance an investment property portfolio. 

In this two-part series, with Nick Aves from Purely Finance, we start by talking about how everyone may be affected by the recent changes in lending criteria, and which borrowers are going to be affected by it the most. 

We cover the best ways to get your financial house in order, so you can tick all the right boxes to be irresistible to the lending assessors. Also covering where we see interest rates going and what is most important when considering your lending options. Take down as many notes as you can ‘cause this is going to be an essential topic you need to understand.

Stay tuned for Part 2 as we cover how to play the finance game to your advantage. For now, let’s get started!
