CBA use Genworth not QBE (unless they are now the same).
Defaults under $500 can be approved without going to the mortgage insurer. Unless the loan is over 1M, default is over $500 or another breach ( there are a few others), the mortgage insurer does not see the deal. Bankers often hide behind the insurer rather than telling you they have…[Read more]No1 replied to the topic Equity Question in the forum Finance 13 years, 7 months ago

No1 replied to the topic finance for investment property on centerlink pension? in the forum Help Needed! 13 years, 7 months ago
Banks will generally take 80% of rental income and assume the other 20% goes towards agents fees, rates and maintenance etc (in my opinion that's quite generous for older properties that may require some work). They also assess on higher rates to ensure you can maintain your repayments if interest rates increase (usually assess 1% to 2% above…[Read more]

250k – can you let us know your bank? In some cases there are reasons behind this e.g. 1. If you have a good customer rating they may not need to value the property (your estimate may be OK)2. Some don’t charge valuation fees and do not have the ability to charge them via the branch. Because they are wearing the cost they only order the va…[Read more]

If you take your 300k to 90% this equals 270k which nets a little cash to pay stamps etc. You already have your 5%.

No1 replied to the topic Finance for un/discharged bankrupt. in the forum Finance 13 years, 9 months ago
To the best of my knowledge it is illegal to lend to someone who is bankrupt. Whilst bankrupt you will be allowed to earn up to something like 65k p/a and have a car to the value of x. You can not enter in to a credit contract – nor can a lender offer one to you.
It is believed that banks will not lend to someone who was once bankrupt. This is…[Read more]
No1 replied to the topic Bank refusing to allow or accept a revaluation of my property in the forum Finance 13 years, 9 months ago
They have no need to revalue unless you are borrowing more money. It will make no difference to the loan as it is already mortgage insured regardless of current value.
Even if they did get a new valuation for legal reasons they are not generally allowed to give them to customers. Therefore a pointless exercise.

A large majority of small lenders pay mortgage insurance for all loans – even if only lending 10%. Banks usually only insure over 80%.

Brunswick is only 6 km north of Melbounre CBD (I have walked it a few times – not far). Access by tram and plenty of trendy cafes..
Only downside is it is not that cheap anymore. Id buy there. But be careful – there are a lot of shoebox apartments and studios turning up there. Try to get 2 bedrooms if it is within your price range.
