Taking the above structure one step further, use the credit card for purchases, bills etc during the…[Read more]

Hi Roger,
Cross colateralised or cross-secured occurs when more than One property is used as security by a lending institution/bank for a loan.
E.g., if 2 properties are used as security for 1 loan. Cheers.

Hi Leo,
Interest only repayments can offer flexibility over loan repayments; i.e. certain lenders will allow additional principle repayments during the I.O term.
Another benefit of interest only repayments apart from the increase in cashflow, is the ability to service further loans/Debt. Cheers.

Jackhu,
Advising Guitarchick to apply for personal loans in an effort to substantiate a credit rating is reckless advice, to say the least.
Further debt would only hinder Guitarchicks ability to service a mortgage not enhance it.

90/10 max for non-genuine savings.

With 3% or 5% in genuine savings you may qualify for finance at a higher LVR, 95% to 97% with mortgage insurance.
