    Hi all

    This is my first forum post [blush2] although I’ve been reading posts for a while now.

    My question is about financing a new property when I know I don’t meet the normal lending criteria.

    We have 3 investment properties – these plus our PPR seemed to have taken us to the absolute limits of our borrowing capacity.

    Now we are selling one of the IPs – it settles on Monday. This will free some money for a deposit for our next property and wipe out a $50K debt.

    I’ve seen a property I’d like to make an offer on that is in the same price range of the one we are selling but my problem is that one week ago I started a new job.

    I’m still working for my old employer 8 hours a week after hours, and the new job pays loads more than my old job…BUT I’ve only been there a week!

    Are there any lenders that would look at us at the moment, or will I basically have to put our next IP on hold until I have been in my job for 6 months?

    Any ideas on how we could finance this property would be much appreciated [biggrin]

    as your with the same employer your ’employment continuity’ should override the ‘internal shuffle’ so long as you don’t have a probation period attached to the new position.

    borrowing capacity varies substantially over different lenders, if you haven’t investigated this factor thru a good broker, please consider doing so – you may have more available options then you initially think.

    will the new purchase be mortgage insured?

    cheers

    Hi brahms

    No, we shouldn’t need to get the new property mortgage insured.

    My new job is a six month contract, so while there’s no probationary period, there’s no real gaurantee of continuity after that.

    Our mortgage broker is having a baby pretty much as we speak, but I will definitely contact someone else in that game and talk it through with them.

    Thanks [biggrin]

    please stick with your existing broker – they will be able to discuss – they have your ‘file’ afer all.

    a good broker with a solid panel of lenders will meet most if not all requirements.

    it will be very hard if you only have a 6 month contract. Could you ‘go back’ to your old employer full time for a while?
