    “The initial problem is they have to justify their lending capacity to ASIC and APRA. If you're giving them a 30 year loan, do they have the capacity to repay that loan? And if they don't, what are you doing about it? And so we have to find a way to present your story to the lender in a way that makes it easy for them to say yes, because they have an excuse to give you the money and they want to lend to you, don't be mistaken. But some lenders are much easier than others in terms of age related. Policy but there are lots of things you can do to make yourself more appealing."
