How would you rate your playing of the finance game?…

In part one of this two-part series, Nick Aves and I helped you get started with playing the game of finance. We talked about what some of the recent changes to the banks lending criteria mean, where we see interest rates going and how to get your financial house in order so you can tick all the right boxes to be irresistible to their lending assessors.

In this second part, we will really help your finance game go to the next level.

Here are just some of the things we cover in the jam-packed episode:

How do lenders actually assess your borrowing capacity?
Policies you need to take into account so you can play the financial game to your advantage,

Should you go with interest only, or principal and interest?

Understanding the complete picture of a loan and what that discount margin might mean in the future.
Plus, when is the right time to consider refinancing?
