    Hi Folks,

    Getting very ready to make first plunge. Have read, talked, procrastinated etc for 2 years since discovering IP mag during holidays in ’04. However, am in the 3rd year of first mortgage, and first year of business. I wondered where I may be positioned fianancially for loan services, given there seems to be some brokers here; thought I’d ask.

    Basic stats:
    Mort – split loan, my part $160K – down to $149,000. Partners loan $80K, down to $12,000.
    Est. House value – $320,000 (all surrounding selling for at least $350,000 and are smaller blocks and house sizes – but just to be sure put lower value on).
    Income in first year business – $100k+
    Cash – minimally $15,000 available

    Partner is OK with me using equity in house, although most if it isn’t mine!! However, I ideally would like to get first investment loan independent of using partner’s equity. Do I have the position to get investment loan on own yet, or should I pay down my own mortgage more?

    I realise any advice should be checked by my own accountant, but it always useful to get other perspectives.

    cheers to all

    Hi Grevs

    If you have been self employed for less than 1 year of business, you will find it difficult to get a standard loan. Most lenders will want to see 2 years financials.

    There are other options such as No Doc, but these are limited to 80% of the value of the property. So you would have to come up wtih 20% deposit and costs.

    You could possibly get the deposit from the existing property, but your partner would have to agree to this. Whether qualify for a standard loan on this may depend on your partners circumstances as well as yours.

    Hi Grevs

    As Terry points out with less than 2 years Tax returns then you will struggle to get a standard loan without using the equity in your current property, your partners income and consent or a combination of both.

    Lodoc / Nodoc loans are available with lodoc available to 90% LVR on Invt but at a higher interest rate.

    I think you should consider maybe raising the 20% of the IP purchase price plus costs by way of a separate loan secured against the PPOR and then a Nodoc / Lodoc loan secured against the IP presumably in your name only.

    Also i hope that $15,000 cash is not just sitting in a a Bank A/c ?

    The answer here is: You should be able to. EASY as that.

    Now having said that don’t wander into your local branch of The CBA or Westpac they may get a touch edgy, but it can be done.

    Thank you for all your responses. I had a bit of a ‘gap’ in being able to get back online – life can throw curve balls sometimes!! Also thank you for those who emailed me directly.

    As it turns out, I’ve secured a place in the results program – I’m thinking this may assist me greatly in understanding my position and to get going.

    cheers
