Are you looking to buy a new home or an investment property? One of the most important steps is understanding how to maximise your borrowing capacity.
Here are a few quick ways to improve yours:
- Cut back on spending – your capacity to borrow is based on your income minus expenses. Reducing silly spending will help tremendously.
- Cut your debts – things like car loans and credit cards can significantly reduce your borrowing.
- Tidy up your credit score – make sure there are no red flags and you have a healthy credit history. Things like paying bills on time is important.
Avoid easy money traps – payday loans or buy now pay later, can hit your credit score and also look bad from the lenders’ perspective.
