Skye,

You can give me a call if you want on 9984-1911.

I am a mortgage broker now, however I worked for one of the ‘top 4’ for several years inclusing their legal departments so I know alot about the actual process and what you can expect.

I can probably explain a lot to you over the phone if this helps.

Bomber,

From your figures – you have equity, this must be an income thing. Hard to get around, you may need a more lenient lender.[upsidedown]

Used to – worked for NAB – left last June to go into broking…

You have the other spot on – often comes down to who they are, not how well you get along with them! (although this can help of course – is this what you mean…?)

Doesn’t sound like there is anything wrong with that loan – I am aware of this rate and it is a good one to be sure.

You won’t be able to offset your account against it though. Don’t have enough info to be able to comment on anything else. [biggrin]

This issue seems to come up often.

You can have IO on your PPOR (line of credit) – but I have absolutely no idea why you wouldn’t to pay it off (tax deductible)!!!

Sure your cash flow is better – because you have a loan that you are not paying off..[evo]

I have an excellent contact at NAB for these loans if you are interested.[thumbsupanim]

Very simply, you are doing both.

You are paying extra interest to the bank (and ultimately paying more altogether as the principle needs to be repaid some day), and you are also delaying the repayment of the loan.

You are only paying more as far as your monthly repayment goes for a P & I loan. If you looked at the total loan costs (IO vs P&I)…[Read more]

Coming from NAB, any loan that the Personal Banker/Personal Banking Representative/Private Banker can not approve themselves under their DCA.

Anything ‘referred’ by Siebel, or higher than their authority, is forwarded to the next level, usually LSU in Seven Hills.

They can approve anything that is reasonable – especially for staff – as long as…[Read more]

Simons question is the key.

It is nice to get a tax break by structuring investment debt as an interest only, buyt if it is yoru only debt, why not pay it off?

You can always re-gear into another investment if you get worried about your tax debt. Plus you are not solely relying on capital growth to make a profit. At the end of the day we are…[Read more]

Hi Bomber,

Can we assume that you already have your investment debts structured as interest only considering you also have a non deductable debt?

If not, start here![wink]

YoungInvestor,

Don’t you work for the NAB?

The other two people who quoted the percentages for you are 100% correct.

Sometimes NAB DO look at the whole rent, depends on who your personal banker there is, and whether it needs to be referred to a higher authority.

Cheers

Definately a combination of the above.

Basically, you would need to be able to stand alone as a self employed investor, and the income that the company makes would need to be able to service the loan.
UNLESS the LVR allows you to structure your debts as ‘lodoc’.
History, professionalism, approach etc – do not hurt your applications chances, but…[Read more]

Hi Wrappack,
Unless you take out a construction loan you may have problems with the raising of capital. Initially the security you will have to offer a bank is a block of land only. As a commercial loan, you only be able to borrow between 60-70% (depending on bank) of the purchase price UNLESS you have another security. This means you would…[Read more]

ANZ offer the best range of products under ‘lo doc’, however LVR must be below 60% and loan amount must be less than $450,000 to qualify.

St George only offer about 5 products under lo doc….

Probably the cheapest way to finance a commercial property is by not taking it as security, but instead using current equity on properties by taking out a loan for ‘investment purposes’ at residential rates.

Your strategy does not sound like this will ever be possible – I’m sure someone can give you advice regarding the other types of…[Read more]

James,

Normally, a redraw will only attract a fee for processing. As you can only draw out the amount you are ahead on your loan (which will roughly equate to any extra payments above the minimum you have made + interest doing this has saved) no mortgage stamp duty is payable as you have already paid it.

Some loans (usually those within…[Read more]

Mel,

This is true – but no matter which property you use, the amount of equity available is still going to be the same.

Having an unencumbered property would open the door for a possible investment based ‘lodoc’ loan in the future for example. (yes?)

True – Sorry, Wouldn’t you prefer to have an unencumbered property if possible though?
