Buy property with a little help from your friends (and family)

MyBrix Pty Ltd 3 mins read

Sydney, Australia, 16 July 2024: For first-time homebuyers, the dream of owning a property can often seem out of reach due to soaring property prices and stringent lending criteria. However, MyBrix is here to change that. As a leading innovator in the Australian real estate market, MyBrix introduces an innovative concept called Social Funding, which allows individuals to buy property with the help of their family and friends.

 

The traditional model of saving a large deposit and securing a home loan has become increasingly challenging for many Australians. MyBrix understands the frustrations faced by aspiring homeowners and has developed a transparent, accessible platform that revolutionises the way people think about property investment.

 

With Social Funding, individuals can tap into their wider social network, including family and friends, to collectively fund 100% of their property purchase. This innovative approach eliminates the need for a traditional bank loan and allows investors to potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars on interest payments and years off the term of a traditional mortgage.

 

"We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to own a home, regardless of their financial situation," said Brian Stevens, Founder and CEO of  MyBrix. "Through Social Funding, we empower individuals to take control of their property ownership journey and build wealth within their social circle, rather than feeding the profits of traditional banks."

 

Not only does Social Funding offer an alternative path to property ownership, but it also presents numerous advantages over traditional financing. By utilising the "Bank of Family and Friends," individuals can buy property without saving a huge deposit, bypass the bank, and avoid serviceability or credit checks. Additionally, the innovative buyback process allows homeowners to pay off their property sooner and potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars on interest.

 

"Our goal at MyBrix is to empower individuals to achieve their property ownership dreams," added Brian Stevens " With Social Funding, we are revolutionising the Australian real estate market enabling first home buyers get into the market with a little help from their friends and family"


Key Facts:

-An $800,000 traditional home (@ 6.5% interest) costs over $5,000 per month in repayments

-Over the first 10 years of a traditional loan homeowners pay almost $500,000 in interest

-Over the full term of 30-year loan owners pay more in interest than they initially borrowed

-With a traditional bank loan almost 90% of monthly repayments in year 1 go towards paying interest

-By year 5 payments are still around 80% interest and by year 10 some 70% of every payment is interest

-The big 4 banks in Australia collectively made $32Billion in 2023 primarily from interest payments

-Social Funding (“Bank of Family And Friends”) 90% of monthly payments in year 1 go towards increasing equity

-Social Funding for $800,000 reduces 30 year term by 6 years and saves over $380,000 making the same monthly payments as a traditional bank loan.

Everybody’s Home encouraged by reports of changes to CGT discount

Everybody’s Home is pleased to see reports that the Albanese Government is considering winding back the capital gains tax discount for property investors. Media reports today suggest the government is considering scaling back the 50 per cent CGT deduction as it prepares for a "significant reform" budget in May. The national housing campaign has consistently been calling on the government to abolish the CGT discount and negative gearing - property investor tax breaks that cost taxpayers billions of dollars annually and make the housing crisis worse. “Tax breaks for property investors are making the housing crisis worse and everyday Australians…

Melbourne looks cheap again, but the old investment playbook won’t work

Following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest decision, Melbourne is once again being described as “cheap” relative to other capitals. Higher holding costs, tighter compliance settings, and increased policy risk are reshaping what a viable residential investment looks like in 2026. “Melbourne hasn’t become ‘cheap’ in a vacuum,” saidBeau Arfi, CEO of Maple Investment Group. “We’re seeing investors move away from passive buy-and-hold strategies and toward structures that prioritise cash flow resilience and execution certainty.” “The cost base has shifted, regulation has tightened, and that means investors need to be far more deliberate about how deals stack up over time.”…
