Buying a property is a big deal — and navigating finance doesn’t have to be confusing. In this episode of the Elevate Your Wealth podcast, Lauren Worldon, Founder of Apex Mortgage Advisory, joins Victor Idoko to break down how first home buyers, families, and solo professionals can make smarter decisions around lending, borrowing, and structuring property finance.
With years of experience in both banking and broking, Lauren shares her real-world insights into what lenders actually look for, why pre-approval matters, and how smart debt structuring can put thousands back into your pocket over time. Whether you're buying your first place, refinancing, or just trying to understand how mortgages work — this one’s for you.
🎧 In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ How mortgage brokers assess borrowing capacity and goals
✅ Why structuring your loan properly from Day 1 matters
✅ How Apex helps clients prepare for property and business growth
✅ The importance of debt strategy, not just loan approval
✅ What to consider if you’re self-employed or have variable income
