In this video I’m going to walk you through my 11 strategies to increase your borrowing capacity, step by step, so keep watching.

1 - Remove

Pay off any loans you have. By doing so will cease the liabilities expense in its tracks. You see, how much you can borrow is a simple equation. Income - Expenses. Therefore, the lower your expenses, the higher your borrowing capacity.

2 - Reduce

Okay so for any loans you current own, is there anyway you can reduce the amount you need to pay each month? Some ways to do this include.

Extending the loan term - an example of this is if you’ve 2 years left on your car loan, can you extend this back to 7 years?

Decrease the interest rate. The lower the rate, the lower the repayment.

Consolidate into one. Often times by doing this you’ll be able to reduce your repayments significantly! An easy win indeed!

Lowering your overall expenditure via debt repayments each month will thus in turn allow you to increase your borrowing capacity.

3 - Replace

Look at all your financial commitments and ask yourself, could this be replaced?

A common one is having a car loan. If you’re in this situation first look at how much your car’s worth on Redbook (side note - Red book is a free online service which offers a fast Car Valuation Service). Second compare this with how much your currently owing. Knowing the difference, would this allow you to downgrade to a more modest means of transportation without the use of credit? By doing so you’ll effectively remove your car loan, and by doing so the expense associated, thus allowing your borrowing capacity to increase.

4 - Unused credit card limits limits

Did you know that for every dollar you hold in a credit card limit, that it reduces how much you can lend by around $5? So if you had a $10,000 credit card, it would affect how your borrowing capacity by around $50,000! Even if you don’t use it! This is because the bank looks at the limit not your balance and calculating what repayments on this would be. Thus, having a marked effect on your borrowing capacity! So if you have any credit cards you don’t use, close them down and for those cards with massive limits, reduce it to the minimum possible.

5 - Reduce your living expense

Slow down on uber eats! Yes, the banks are looking at your everyday spendings! Creepy I know! But if you’re spending are too high, it’ll have an affect on how on your borrowing capacity! The banks benchmark your living expenses against theri Household Expenditure Method or HEM for short. Essentially a sliding scale on how much they believe people's spend each month. Being remarkably over the banks HEM will reduce how much you can borrow, so be aware and use a budget where possible to account for this.

6 - Increase your income

Due for that payrise? Now’s the perfect time!

Able to work overtime? Best be picking up those shifts!
