3 refinancing secrets that get you special pricing from lenders they never disclose publicly

How a Sydney executive refinanced her multi-million dollar portfolio and locked in the absolute best 5 year deal.

Are you a 6 figure income earner or have a portfolio of properties that you’re thinking of refinancing? If so, then you’ll want to hear Emma’s story about how she locked in the absolute best home loan deal from lenders at a rate they never advertise publicly. Emma is the Chief Operating Officer of a thriving tech company. As a successful executive with a high disposable income, her and husband amassed a diverse multimillion dollar property portfolio. And recently they discovered a rare Sydney historic home on offer for $4.4m that they wanted to make their family home. But they needed to move fast because it wouldn’t stay on the market for long. With multiple properties in their portfolio – one of them a block of units all with different structures and terms – Emma knew standard service models with brokers and banks wouldn’t help. In the past, even private bankers were unable to provide the kind of deep, rich advice they sought. So they searched for a broker that could do three things. First, they needed a broker that truly understood their complex situation. Second, they needed to refinance and identify the best loan in the market, inclusive of all fees. Finally, to weather any storms in the economy over the next 5-10 years, they needed the best advice on how to structure their portfolio. Fortunately they found the perfect broker who made their dream a reality with the best home loan deal. Result: They snapped up their Sydney mansion home at a price they’re happy with. They also refinanced their debt and locked in special pricing for 5 years. And they’re nicely positioned to potentially lock in capital gain. How did they lock in special pricing for 5 years? And what can you learn from their experience if you’re a high income earner or have amassed a diverse investment portfolio that you’re thinking of refinancing?

Don’t just go after the lowest interest rate – structure your portfolio correctly.

Emma owned three properties she needed to refinance. One property was in a semi-renovated state. Another, as you know, a full block of units. All the units had different different tenancies and different banks. All had different finance structures, too (some loans were interest only, others were principal and interest). Emma needed a broker who looked at her portfolio holistically to ensure:

  1. An optimal portfolio return overall
  2. The refinance provided continuity of taxation records
  3. Left her with maximum cash available for future investments https://unohomeloans.wistia.com/medias/v42eqd4uxh?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=450

Begin with the end in mind

Talk with your partner and get on the same page about your goals and dreams. Prepare all your financial and verification documents because they’ll give you leverage to negotiate a better deal. But don’t just focus on the interest rate. Speak to your advisor about how to balance your portfolio and minimise risk. In Emma’s case, the RBA were talking a lot about the heated property market so her advisor mapped out a plan if the market cools off. Need a home loan?UNO. The new way to get a better deal.

Find the best broker you can to get you the best home loan deal

Not all brokers are created equal, so it’s important to identify a great broker. Thankfully there’s a simple question you can ask that instantly separates the best from the pack. Next time you’re chatting to a broker ask this question: “How often have you negotiated special pricing?” The answer you’re looking for is “oh, that was something that we did last week?” Another answer you want is “that’s something we do regularly.”Bonus tip: Keep brokers honest by probing for specifics into a deal. Ask about the loan amount

Paul helped us from day one before we even arrived in Australia so we knew exactly what we needed to prepare. He’s got a tonne of knowledge and was really lovely and supportive to deal with. Helpful and easy going. Would highly recommend - now in our first Aussie home and Paul made the process all very easy!

We received excellent service and a tailored solution to our home loan requirements from Uno. Paul kept us informed at all milestone stages and throughout the process he demonstrated a ‘can do’ attitude that ultimately allowed us to get over the line and meet our deadline. We’re most grateful and very impressed. Highly recommend

After just four months in Australia, our New Zealand home sold, prompting us to stop renting and invest locally. We found Paul through a Kiwi Facebook group, and his exceptional service exceeded our expectations. From initial contact, Paul provided clear explanations, friendly communication, and prompt responses to our queries, making our mortgage process remarkably smooth. We highly recommend him.

Mike Parsons went above and beyond to ensure that our refinancing journey was painless and successful. He was communicative, accessible (even working while on holidays!), and his knowledge of the systems at play meant that he picked up on things that other brokers missed. Would 100% recommend Mike, and will definitely be back next time we need a broker.

Mike Parsons handled our refinance of our home loan with ease and a depth of knowledge that ensured we got the best deal possible for our situation. We didn't have an easy one to solve for with my husband being self employed and we were consolidating finances as well for a car loan. But Mike handled it all for us and once we had provided him with all the documents we literally didn't have to do a thing after that, it was so easy and so quick we are super happy with the experience! Top notch! Highly recommend!!

I have gone through 6 different mortgage brokers prior to meeting Andrew Wyers. He is the most patient mortgage broker I’ve encountered and also the most knowledgable about the bank’s lending process and products available. It took me 1 year to find a house I was happy with and Andrew was always there to assist with any issues or questions I had; he always return my phone call, even on the weekends or when his away on holidays. The loan process was smooth and I had no complications. The process with Andrew was again nice and easy, he took the time to find and put together the right package that was suited to my situation. I have recommended Andrew to my family & friends and everyone have been grateful and completely satisfied with his service.

I had not dealt with Scott or UNO before finding them on the internet. Even as an Australian citizen living and working overseas, I knew obtaining a loan would be difficult. However, Scott went above and beyond what I expected from a mortgage broker. I genuinely don’t think you could find another company that works as hard as they did to get my home loan approved. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Everyone I dealt with at UNO were extremely professional and helpful. If you are looking for a broker, you would be mad not to give them a go. Thanks to Scott Wilkinson, Dalby Bajwa, Jena Lasquite and Andrew Pacini. Shaun.
