Get Rich Slow Club 128. How to increase borrowing capacity
In this episode, Tash and Ana are joined by Maddie Walton (@moneyloungeau) to explore practical ways to increase your borrowing capacity and avoid common pitfalls. Before diving in, the trio shares their money wins and losses, including Maddie’s exciting launch party celebration and smart holiday hacks.
Maddie breaks down the key factors banks consider when evaluating borrowing capacity: income, expenses, and debts. She explains how fixed costs like private health insurance and body corporate fees impact your loan potential and offers tips for managing expenses to improve your financial standing.
The conversation also touches on strategies for increasing income, from pay raises to taking on second jobs, and how lenders assess variable earnings like overtime and dividends. Maddie’s expert insights provide actionable steps to help you maximise your borrowing power while staying financially secure.
