Of The Mortgage Lifecycle

Please check your inbox for personalised next steps.

We recommend that you discuss with your adviser about income allocation theory and how you could structure your mortgage to pay it off faster.

What is the mortgage lifecycle?

After talking with well over 5,000 people, we found that most people’s passive income goal was around $80,000 per year. So the Mortgage Lifecycle was created as a pathway from your first home through your first investment property and all the way to earning $80,000 of annual portfolio profit from property investments. 

Unfortunately, the Mortgage Lifecycle is not the default path, most Kiwis never leave Stage 1. Instead of building a plan (or following ours) every 3-7 years they upgrade their home maxing out their mortgage again – this is the exact problem we are helping clients solve by introducing them to this concept. 

Each stage in the Mortgage Lifecycle suggests a goal to work towards – which also acts as the ‘gateway’ into the next stage. Meaning that as soon you achieve your goal for Stage 1 you are then ready to work towards achieving your goal for Stage 2. 

Who is mortgagehq?

What started as a fledgeling mortgage brokerage focused on helping kiwis refinance mortgages had matured into a highly driven company hunting pragmatic results for clients and stakeholders, then guiding them down the pathway to property goals.

When mortgagehq is looking to bring on new team members we stress to them that this is an advisory office. Our role is to help clients plan their property investment lifecycle. This also means helping you avoid mistakes. Each of our advisers is encouraged to be an ‘Anteambulo’ (which means to clear the pathway), to make your lives easier with connections to agents, accountants, lawyers and by streamlining the mortgage and insurance processes as much as possible.

Had very good experience with MHQ to refinance and restructure my mortgage. Guys really know what they are doing and super helpful. They offered tailored advice focused on my long term goals. Were really efficient to find refinancing options and assisted in finalizing right loan structure. I am very pleased with the outcome. It has not only alleviated short term mortgage stress but has set me up to achieve long term goals. Thank you MHQ team

Definitely recommend MortgageHQ. My second time using them. For this one we did a mortgage refinance and the whole process was seamless. Done via emails, a couple of phone calls and zoom. Marcia and Yan made the entire process stress-free, and were more than happy to answer my questions. Very approachable and easygoing, pleasant to deal with and knowledgeable in their field. Huge help especially as working parents.

Anna Savage was incredible! I've dealt with other mortgage advisers in my time but Anna was on another level. She was the best, hands down - very easy to deal with, responsive and helped us understand and find the right mortgage structure available at the time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a mortgage adviser. Thanks again Anna 🙂

I recently used MortgageHQ to refinance a property and particularly wanted to give a big shout-out to Simon McDonald for all the help and support he provided in helping me navigate the many forms and bank documents that are now required due to the CCCFA rules. While the advisors often get the credit and accolades for fronting the business, it is the support staff that make the difference between a good and a great customer experience. For his excellent customer service and attention to detail, Simon deserves a big shout out.

The team at mortgagehq provided the experience and knowledge that my wife & I were missing, and helped give us options to plan for a goal, instead of a wait & see approach. So far the experience with them has been excellent.
