I'm Darren Parker, and this is Money Brain
I'm the broker I wish I'd had when I bought my first property: someone who looked past the first loan to where I wanted to end up.
Why Money Brain exists
Most people arrive with a smaller story than their path can take. They ask about one loan, when what they really want is a first home, then a home after rent-vesting, or a portfolio, or one day a commercial property.
So I work backwards. I start from where you want to be, look at what you can actually do from here, and set up this loan so it doesn't get in the way of the next one. The plan stays loose, because the first win usually changes what you ask for next.
How I work
From the lenders' own policies.
Lender policy changes often. I check it against each lender's current policy rather than memory, and I say so when something is uncertain.
One person on your file.
You deal with me from the first call through to settlement.
Lending and buying kept apart.
Finding a property is a different job from arranging the loan. Property Brain, our sister business, does the buying for investors; Money Brain does the lending.
