Excellent financial education and literacy should be available to everyone. I am passionate about it because I observed my parents struggle with financial knowledgeability and good habits growing up.  

Like so many, their marriage failed because of financial pressures that were avoidable with the proper education. 

The loss impacted me in many ways.   

As a result, I decided to dedicate my life to helping others understand how to be successful and financially prosperous in the mortgage industry.

I understand buying a house can be stressful and is likely to be one of the most significant purchases of your life.  

The process can be daunting and confusing, especially if you're a first home buyer. So, you shouldn't put it in the hands of just any Mortgage Broker or Lending Specialist.

Sprint Finance is a 100% Australian-owned and operated Mortgage Broking service. While we have connections with some of the country's biggest lenders, our top priority is finding suitable loans and lenders for you. We are dedicated to finding a mortgage solution that offers flexibility for whatever life throws at you.

As our lead Mortgage Broker and director at Sprint Finance, I have over a decade of experience I have settled around $500 million in lending.  Along the way we've helped hundreds of new homeowners and investors realise their dream of property ownership.

My approach:  

Trust:  As the basis for every successful and meaningful relationship, the trust of my clients is my highest priority.  

Straight-talk: The mortgage industry is filled with industry talk many consumers can't relate to. I build trust by connecting and engaging with easy-to-understand and relatable solutions anyone can understand.  

Solutions-based:  Once a strong relationship has been forged, Sprint Finance is dedicated to finding the right solution at the right time.  

Our services:

✔️Accessing Equity to Invest
✔️Private Mortgage Financing
✔️Commercial Lending
✔️SMSF Lending
✔️Residential Asset Financing

I also specialise in complex loan structures and property investor lending. If you're ready to make a new investment or build up your current equity, I can show you clever ways to reinvest or refinance.

Select Awards:

🏆 Awarded Connective Home Loans Broker of the Year in 2015, 2016
🏆 Nominated for Connective Home Loans Broker of the Year in 2017, 2018, and 2019

So don't get held back by the same loan or lender for decades. Chances are, there's always a better solution for your current home loan. DM me today for more industry-leading advice that could save you thousands.

An Open Letter to My Fellow Spartanburgers:

I moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina, over 30 years ago as a bright-eyed college grad full of expectation and ready for opportunity. Because I’ve stayed here ever since, running businesses and raising five children, I’ve witnessed a lot of change.

So much of it has been positive, with “Sparkle City” transforming from a sleepy textile town… into a prosperous manufacturing and distribution hub. Today, we’re one of the fastest-growing metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) in the United States.

Spartanburg is a great place to live, to work, and to enjoy. None of us want that to change, and so I recognize and respect where many of you are coming from in protesting Project Spero, the proposed $3 billion data-center development.

You think it’s going to raise your energy bill. That it will affect the environment, too, perhaps lowering your property values in the process.
That’s what I’m hearing from Tuesday night’s spirited town hall on the subject. I couldn’t attend myself and, honestly, I’m not sure if it would have done any good if I had.

It’s hard to make headway in the moment when passions run that high on both sides. But hopefully everyone has had a chance to breathe – enough so to consider my “insider” point of view.

You see, I’ve built an investment research firm over the past 15 years called Wide Moat Research. It focuses on asset classes that deliver meaningful value, including property sectors like hotels, office buildings, hospitals, retail… and data centers – of which there’s much more to know than meets the eye.

Time flies...

10 years ago today (February 22, 2016)

There are real estate investment trusts (REITs) across so many different sectors.

And many of them, people don’t even realize.

One of those? The cannabis sector.

The first mover in this sector was Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR), which was founded in June 2016 and is the only cannabis REIT on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today.

This company grew like a tech stock from 2017 through 2019 before hitting an all-time high of $279.52 with a multiple of 43.4 times.

Another company is NewLake Capital Partners (NLCP).

Founded in 2018, it acquires properties and then leases them to leading operators in the state-licensed cannabis industry.

However, unlike IIPR, it trades over the counter instead of on a major exchange.

While its earnings grew by 48% in 2022, it has been flat this year and has a growth forecast of -7% for 2026.

Now, there are a few more cannabis REITs out there, but I’ll be honest… I’m looking elsewhere for great value.

If you do want to dip your toe into cannabis REITs, I suggest NLCP.

However, be cautious and consider focusing on REIT sectors that offer more sustainable growth backed by strong tenants and operating in sectors without the drama that the cannabis sector brings.

Do you invest in any cannabis REITs?

Let’s talk about trees.

No, I’m not talking about Christmas trees or the ones that are growing in your backyard.

I’m referring to timberland REITs.

By market capitalization, timberland REITs make up only 3% of the equity side of REITs.

And timberland doesn’t capture the same interest from REIT investors as other sectors do.

However, this industry is very important to societal development and is needed to build new homes, which are always a necessity.

One of the timber REITs on my radar is Weyerhaeuser (WY), which is the largest private real estate owner of timberlands in North America. 

Its portfolio spans 10.4 million acres in the U.S. alone, with another 13 million acres licensed in Canada.

But it’s not just in the tree business.

It also leases some of its land for:
→ Solar and wind farms
→ Generating carbon credits
→ Participating in carbon recapture
→ Developing residential, commercial, and industrial sales in FL, LA, NC, and SC

I am definitely keeping this company on my radar and will be watching it for the foreseeable future.

$COLD shares surged 16%, a day after I recommended the cold storage REIT on Bridget Bennett's YouTube channel at MarketBeat. As I explained in the interview, shares could return 100% over the next 2 years driven by the new CEO's cost-cutting plan as well as reduced debt and lower interest rates.

There’s a movement that’s growing:

FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).

And as investors, you can be a part of this trend.

How?

By strategically building high-yield, passive income portfolios without sacrificing capital preservation.

In the latest episode of The Wide Moat Show, Nick Ward and I sat down and talked about how you can blend my SWAN (Sleep Well At Night) investing philosophy with FIRE principles.

A few things you will learn include:
How to avoid “sucker yields”
Passive income vs total return
How to understand the FIRE Movement
