There’s been a lot of buzz about the First Home Gu There’s been a lot of buzz about the First Home Guarantee (FHGS) changes - with property caps now raised to $1 million in metro areas and $700k in regional QLD.  Yes, that could mean more competition and price growth in the “first-home” market.  But here’s the truth few people are mentioning 👇
Even if you can access a million-dollar loan with a 5% deposit, the banks still need to see that you can handle repayments - and that’s no small feat.  💰 On a $1M property, repayments can range from $3,500–$5,000 per month, depending on rates.
🏠 So while the new rules open more doors, it’s crucial to understand your borrowing capacity before making offers.  As mortgage brokers, we help you run the numbers, secure pre-approval, and find the right strategy - not just the biggest loan.  Book your free Discovery Call to find out what the new First Home Guarantee means for your buying power.  #FirstHomeGuarantee #FirstHomeBuyerAustralia #QueenslandProperty #BrisbaneRealEstate #MortgageBrokerBrisbane #GrowWellFinancial #HomeLoanTips #PropertyMarketUpdate #FirstHomeLoanDepositScheme #BrisbaneHomes #FinanceBroker #AustralianPropertyMarket #HomeBuyingJourney #BorrowingCapacity #QLDPropertyMarket #MortgageAdvice #FinancialWellness #AustralianHousingMarket

It could be your ticket to an investment property.  Here’s how to calculate it:
(Your home’s value × 80%) – Your current loan balance = Usable Equity  For example:
If your Paddington home is worth $900K and you owe $450K…
You could have $270K in usable equity - enough for a deposit (or two) on an investment property.  Your next step?
