    Hi fjficm,
    I agree with the points made by Aceyducey,
    Why not use the funds available in the LOC as a deposit on a 80/20 or 60/40 lend etc,

    By implementing this method you could increase the amount of properties in your portfolio,

    Steven,
    thanks for explaining, am i right in thinking that this offset would be a handy place to keep the extra cash borrowed until needed for payments on props i put in trust?

    lifeX,
    Well done, You got it in one.
    An offset can hold any spare funds, Wages/rent etc,
    And very useful when offsetting non deductible debt, as in a loan over your PPR,

    Hi mrsimba2
    Before you make any decision, You will need to calculate your ability to service a non income producing loan, and the effect this will have on your future investment plans,

    Keep in mind the $7000 FHOG and the $250 per week you are currently paying in rent,

    Here is a link to the PMI location wizard for NZ and Australia,
    You can search via Suburb/Town or Post code,

    http://www.pmigroup.com.au/LocationWizard.asp

    The Location Wizard is a guide to determine whether a location is eligible for Lenders Mortgage Insurance,

    Hi LifeX,
    An offset account is an account attached to another loan account,

    E.g., you have a loan of $100.000 at 7.00% and you may have $20.000 sitting in a 100% offset account
    In this scenario You are now only paying 7.00% interest on $80.000,

    Hope this helps,
    Regards
    Steven

    To add to Simons post,
    I would also consider having an offset attached to the owner occupied loan,

    LifeX,
    Interest on a LOC will be deductible if the funds are used for investment purpose.

    Hi Wallflower,
    The cheapest loan may not always be the best option,
    Keep in mind the decisions you make now may have a negative affect on your ability to service future lending,

    I also fail to see how any lending institution can predict the amount they are willing to lend to you in the future,
    After all, any future lending will depend on the amount of income available at that time to service such a loan,
    The amount of proposed rental income will no doubt be one of the deciding factors in determining your future borrowing capacity
    Good Luck,
    Regards

    Hi Rags2Riches
    I agree with wejons1, If your lender is holding you back with regards to your investment strategy, then take your business elsewhere,
    I would also suggest obtaining a copy of your credit file; it’s free and very handy to have,
    Here is a link to Baycorp Advantage with further information.

    Hi Rufus,
    The Max Loan amount on NZ security for Non NZ residents is 80%

    There are lenders based here in Australia and in New Zealand who will lend to non-NZ residents for the purchase of NZ property, with the NZ property being the security over the loan.

    You may also purchase NZ property outright with funds/equity from Australian property etc, or use this method to raise the required 20% deposit on a NZ investment loan,

    Shawn,
    You cannot use Australian property as security over a NZ purchase,
    However you can use NZ property as security, hence the 80% Max LVR,

    80% of the proposed rental income on NZ property can be included when calculating serviceability for a NZ investment loan,

    Hi PP
    Some of the major lenders will do low doc at 70% LVR and higher,
    The Max loan amount will depend on the security over the loan,
    Is this loan for more than one property?

    There are some very good Low Doc products available at the moment,
    I suggest you ask a Mortgage Broker to explore all the options that are available to you,
