Hey there! We’re back with another exciting episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast. Joining us today is the lending maestro, Onar Serrano from Lendary, where lending and finance are made simple. Picture this: You're on the brink of building your property empire, chasing that sweet freedom, choice, and abundance. But here's the kicker—interest rates have been doing the cha-cha for the last 18 months. How's that affecting your mood and your borrowing mojo? Onar spills the beans on the nitty-gritty of interest rates and how they're throwing some serious curveballs. It's not just about snagging the cheapest rate; it's about avoiding the financial quicksand that might leave you stuck with a property that's sinking like a stone. In this episode, Goose and Onar also emphasise on the power of having a portfolio growth plan. Without a strategy, you might as well be blindfolded, throwing darts at a map.  Spoiler alert: that's not the best way to build your empire. But the real gem here? The Australian property market is a resilient beast. It survived the rate hikes, danced through the challenges, and guess what? Prices are still on the upswing. So, if you've been sitting on your hands, waiting for the "perfect" moment—wake up! The time is now.
