| 6/24/26 | ![]() Dollars & Distractions - Episode 16 Should I buy now, or should I wait? | With interest rates, media headlines, social media opinions, and endless market predictions flying around, it can be hard to know whether now is the right time to buy a property or whether you should sit tight and wait. In this episode, Maryanne and Bec unpack one of the most common questions they hear from clients: "Should I buy now, or should I wait?"Drawing from their own recent property buying experiences, they explore why timing the market isn't always as straightforward as it sounds and why focusing on your personal circumstances may be far more important than trying to predict what the market will do next. In this episode, we discuss: 🏡 Why waiting for a property market "crash" may not always work out as planned🏡 How media headlines and social media algorithms can influence your mindset about property 🏡 The importance of having a pre-approval in place before finding your dream home🏡 Why property decisions should be based on affordability and long-term goals rather than fear 🏡 How different market conditions create opportunities for different buyers🏡 The difference between buying an investment property and buying your forever home🏡 Why outside opinions from friends, family, and the guy at the barbecue aren't always the best source of advice🏡 The role intuition can play when making big financial decisions🏡 How to cut through the noise and focus on what matters most for your situationKey Takeaway There will always be experts predicting what's next, but nobody has a crystal ball. The right time to buy isn't necessarily when rates are lowest or when the market is at the bottom. The right time is when you're financially comfortable, have done your research, and find a property that fits your goals and lifestyle.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Dollars & Distractions - Episode 15 Unlocking Equity How to Use Your Home's Value Without Selling video | Have you ever wondered how mortgage brokers get paid? Or what happens when you're sitting on a valuable property but don't have enough cash flow to enjoy life? In this episode of Dollars and Distractions, Maryanne and Bec start with a funny story involving a curious 12-year-old and end up diving into one of the most misunderstood topics in lending: equity unlocks.They discuss:✅ How mortgage brokers are paid✅ Common misconceptions about broker commissions✅ What clawbacks are and how they affect brokers✅ What an equity unlock is✅ How retirees can access the value in their home without selling✅ Real-life examples of clients using equity to improve their lifestyle✅ Using equity to invest, renovate, consolidate debt or purchase a business Whether you're approaching retirement or simply wondering how to make your property's equity work harder for you, this episode is packed with practical insights.Key TakeawaysMortgage brokers are typically paid by the lender, not the client.A broker's commission does not increase your interest rate.Brokers can experience "clawbacks" where commissions are reclaimed if loans are closed within a certain period.Equity unlock products can help retirees access the value in their home without selling.Legal advice is essential when considering equity release strategies.Home equity can also be used for investing, debt consolidation, renovations, business purchases and other wealth-building opportunities.Every client's situation is different, which is why professional advice is critical.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction00:50 The school drop-off conversation that sparked today's episode02:15 How mortgage brokers actually get paid04:40 Common myths about broker commissions06:40 What is a clawback?08:50 Why broker-client relationships matter12:35 Introducing today's topic: Equity Unlocks14:00 What does "asset rich but cash poor" mean?15:45 Real client story: Using equity to fund retirement travel18:00 Why legal advice is important for equity release20:45 Maintaining financial independence later in life21:00 Using equity to buy a business, invest or consolidate debt23:00 A real example of using home equity to purchase commercial property24:15 Why equity creates financial opportunities at every stage of life25:00 Wrap upQuote From The Episode "If you've got lots of equity, don't think you're stuck because you're no longer earning what you did when you were younger.There may be options available before selling your home." — Maryanne Resources Mentioned If you'd like to discuss your own situation or explore your options, book a chat with the team at 360 Mortgage Solutions: https://link.teamos.ai/widget/booking/7qm3GDqWiTMjczOzhMlH Connect With Us 360 Mortgage Solutions 🌐 https://360mortgagesolutions.com.au 📱 Follow us on social media for more mortgage, property and money tips. 🎙️ Subscribe to Dollars and Distractions so you never miss an episode. | 25m 57s | ||||||
