One of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to securing a home loan is how much can I borrow?
The answer to this question of course, varies between lenders and applicants. Since everyone has a unique financial situation, it is difficult to estimate borrowing capacity without some specific details about the borrower in question.
However, there are some common requirements among a broad spectrum of lenders and there are also some useful tips you can follow to maximise your borrowing capacity in the eyes of lenders.
An easy way to get started is to input your details into an online mortgage calculator – this can give you a quick estimate of the amount of money you are able to borrow, based on a few factors such as income and expenses. Look at the calculators on our website. www.trustedmortgagebroker.com.au/calculators/
