I still have a vivid memory when my old mortgage broker told me to go with wizard.. I disagreed with him. But the selling points were IR was cheaper than banks… acting as "White Knights" against banks
It is always an issue with student accomodation. I don't think the bank will follow the actual income. I believe that student accomodation is fluctuate (i.e. high turnover and not full 12 moths).
Bank always used the market value to estimate the rental income ( to be realistic)
That is a difference increase of $62 per week or $3,224 per year. Because 4*12 = 48 weeks. But previous equation you divided it by 52 weeks. Therefore extra 4 weeks = A$3224 = correct
It should not have any problem as interest is calculating daily.
I still consider 70% clearance rate = high. The bottom line is vendoer might NOT want to sell it (unless a good price). The stock market is going nowhere. Can't see the reason why people would like to sell the property at the discount price. Remember.. the interest rate is still LOW (below average)
It would be CRAZY for RBA to increase the IR in the future as PIIGS issue coming through. People will flock into safe haven invesment again…..
some of the contents are out-dated…(imagine reading the book by Peter Spann …) you can read the posting from this forum or somersoft.. it is more uptodate
well,… you are using aussie dollar to purchase something in the third world countries… bad comparison… (i.e. you earn aussie dollar and live in other countries..??? does NOT make sense)
the best comparison… of course..house to income ratio.. has been well published and accepted (see media comments about housing affordability).. they compare using income.. not income generating from oversease.. i hope this will clear some confusion..
Latest opinion from Paul Clitoroe (money magazine)… Stay away from US properties as aussie investors have NOT
been given full pictures of investment condition @ USA. There are bargains out there… no doubt.. but if through broker via broker via broker.. obviously… a dud investment.
Aussie investors might think like investing in Australia….but it is completely different game..
