This week at BNI Capital Connections, Brendan Ojala from Velocity Financial delivered his 10-minute presentation and gave the chapter a practical look at how mortgage advice fits into the bigger financial picture.
Brendan explained how the role of a mortgage adviser has evolved — stepping in as a personal banking advisor for clients who no longer have direct access to bank relationship managers.
He walked through how he helps clients:
Choose the right lender based on their situation
Structure lending correctly alongside accountants and lawyers
Plan ownership and borrowing strategies for long-term outcomes
One key insight was around splitting lending across multiple banks — helping reduce risk and giving clients more flexibility when selling or dealing with unexpected events.
He also covered the four main ways to buy your next property, outlining the pros and cons of each approach so clients can make informed decisions that suit their situation.
It was a clear reminder that good mortgage advice isn’t just about getting a loan — it’s about structuring things properly from day one.
If you’re buying, investing, or restructuring your lending, Brendan is well worth a conversation.
