Hi Craig,
I forgot to mention one important point, Every time you make an application to a lender for finance the application will show up on your credit report,
I would suggest the best way to avoid this problem is to use a good independent mortgage broker who will asses your situation before submitting an application, the last thing you want is another decline on your file.

Steven

Hi Cashpoor, welcome to the forum,
A few options are,
Apply for low Doc Loan(as you are self employed and have had trouble getting finance) based on IP value of $45,000 put down a 20% deposit = $9,000 + 5% costs $2,250 Total $11,250
With the $60.000 you have you may be able to purchase 4 ips valued at $45.000 and still have $15.000 for improvments or the sleep at night Fund,
Regards
Steven

Our unit was valued at 220 6mths ago, we used the equity to purchase land and are now building. When we are finished building, the house and land (we assume) will be worth 400. We are going to have to use the equity in the unit to cover some costs and other expenses in the new home. Therefore, I may be left with (at most) 9k in equity, and at worst none.
With the research I have done I have found the rent I could get would be no more than 220 and no less than 190. Before Xmas we were convinced we would have to let the unit go, to make repayments. I got some books, including Steve’s, on PI just to see what we could do, now I’m not so sure we need to. I’m not the main breadwinner in the house and the wife is not convinced yet. Given that I don’t have much budget, I’m trying to find information on what we can do, without spending money yet. The net has been great.
I find myself feeling so stupid as I don’t know or cannot see an answer. Insert image of cry for help here! To add to this, we want to have a baby!!
So in reaching to the stars and asking the gods for help, can anyone give me an idea on how to approach this or what my possible options are. So far I have the two options, hold the unit and get a tenant or two sell the unit.

Hi NikeAir and welcome to the forum,
I need some more info, How much equity did you pull from the unit? did you borrow funds for the new home? if so how much? and did you use the same lender,
One option may be Interest only repayments,
Regards
Steven.

Gotcha!, thanks mobile mortgage, i understand now, so basically it is better because the interest is now not tax assessable, where as in say ING Direct savings maximiser it is, is that right?

Also, why wouldn’t you just use the $5000 to pay off the principal, surely that would be a better option, if you didn’t need the money in the short term?

Hi Fudge,
Paying $5000 to pay off the principal may be a better option, Keep in mind some Banks/lenders products may have a limit on the amount of extra repayments you can deposit,

If you park spare funds in an offset account you then withdraw the funds as you need them,
Eg, use the credit card for bills etc, park wages spare cash into the offset, repay the amount owing on the credit card from the offset account before interest on the credit card is due,
And you simply repeat this cycle.
cheers
Steven.

Hi Terryw,

how can he be nearly there, if he only has 140k equity? The block of flats are roughly selling at 600k, i see he has a long way to go. It would be much easier to get 120k in cash rather than get 600k in equity. His equity would have to quadrouple more than 4 times to get near to 600k

cheers

Hi Sis,
What Terry has sugested is correct,
80% LVR =finance of 80% of purchase price, + costs,
Luckyone has $140,000 equity,
$120,000 = 20% of $600,000 and another $20,000 towards the cost.
I hope this helps
Cheers Steven
