    Hi Guys,

    Just seeing if there are any mortgage brokers out there wanting to crunch some numbers:)

    I’m trying to work out (approximately) how much myself and my girlfriend could borrow – assuming I used the equity in my current IPs.

    Here are our situtations;

    Wayne Leech (Me)

    My Assets:

    3×2 in Merriwa (Perth)
    – Mortgage owing on property: $120,000.
    – Market value $210,000
    – rented out at $195 a week.
    – Mortgage is $170 a week.

    4×2 in Merriwa (Perth)
    – Mortgage owing on property: $219,000.
    – Market value $245,000
    – Rented at $210 per week
    – Mortgage is $1270 a month ($318 a week.)

    Car
    – Ford Laser – market value $4,000

    Shares
    – Telstra Shares – $1,000

    Personal Items
    – White Goods/Furniture/sports gear/Computers etc – $15-$20,000

    My Current Situation:

    – Living with parents in Mindarie
    – Weekly net income is $571.76 after tax. (Worked with the company for 4yrs+)
    – Credit card limit: $1,000.
    – No other loans / Debts

    Lisa Russell (Girl friend)

    My Assets:

    Car
    – Toyota Echo – market value $15,000

    Car loan
    – Total owing on Toyota Echo is $10653.55
    – Loan repayments are $107/fortnight

    Personal Items

    – White Goods/Furniture/cloths/Kitchenware etc – $10-$15,000

    My Current Situation:

    – Living with parents in Woodlands
    – Fortnightly income is $1,002 after tax. (Worked with the company for 1.5yr+)
    – Credit card limit: $1,000.
    – No other loans / Debts

    If anyone could give me an approximate amount that would be great. We’re looking at purchasing a joint investment – at this stage, if we can afford it, it will be a block of land amongst the coastal strip of Perth.

    Thanks in advance!

    Wayne

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks heaps for your replies:) Wow, this is much more than I expected!

    What about the ‘serviceability’ of the loan? If we borrowed $500k we’re looking at $760 + a week… wouldn’t the banks consider this unrealistic, eg – if one of us lost our job then this would affect our ability to pay the loan quite dramatically?

    Thanks again for your feedback:)

    Cheers

    Wayne

    Financiers generally look at your income situation as it is at the time of application and will determine your maximum borrowing limit accordingly. You then need to weigh up if you are comfortable borrowing that level of funds – if you have concerns about possible future decreases in income, then plan around that and only borrow to a level that you feel will be manageable if your circumstances change.
