Doug Bannister at Investors Direct in Brisbane is one of my mortgage brokers, and I think he's excellent. Doug's a former accountant and very good at planning from a portfolio perspective rather than just "here's a deal, let's find a loan". We plan several purchases ahead, and which products and LVRs in what sequence. Things don't always work out that way, but Doug's thinking allows me to view each purchase in the context of how it affects my ability to continue borrowing.
