100% Agree with you mate. Also with your numbers. It is not about what price for what service, It is just there monopoly at the moment. Since ideally no one in Australia is providing loan for US. Bad for consumer. Simultaneously, I would like to say something is better than nothing. At least someone is providing loan facility. They have taken a…[Read more]

Ok Terry. Will do. Tried reading some older threads and some of your posting as well on trust but those were confusing to start with. So thought to ask and get some general idea.Thank you Ryan. That gives good idea to start reading more about trust. Reading this "There are many advantages to using a trust and a few disadvantages.", "I would…[Read more]

If you do buy at 95% LVR I recommend you aim to get your properties to 80% LVR. This protects you in the future from unforseen circumstances
Ryan, Thanks for reply.How about taking 95%+LMI if bank approves and putting 15% (95-80) or backup money in offset a/c for unforseen circumstances as well as handy cash? Thoughts Pls…[Read more]
ok. Got it. Earning more via contracting may create prob's in getting loan specially in initial days of contract. I need to think before I start contracting. But I want to do to save or earn more.Really it may be a huge bottle neck for me in buying IPs specially for 1.5 – 2yrs of contracting period.
1. So if less they will give me 95% of 310k (property price) ?2. And if more to avoid re-approval stuff, whether it is advisable to get MAX loan. Say you intend to buy IP for 350k, so better to take pre-approved loan for 400k ?3. What most of people do they get pre-approved loan or they get loan when they selected the property to buy ?
Ok. So, in my initial days of contracting – say I just started a six months contractI can get 80% LVR, but to get more then that say 90%, probably I need show regular contracts for 2yrs period (approx)I really have plans to do contracting depending on various things but just wanted make sure it doesn't create problem's in buying IPs, IPs, IPs.
ok. Just another thought for better planning for future. I have rough idea of doing contracting in future – don't know now exactly when may be after six month, may be not at allWill I get loan on following condition (I know it may depend on many things, but would be happy to have thoughts)a) 80% loan when I am doing contracting (say six months…[Read more]

Hmmm, Above deal is @ 6.55%, 30yrs, 15$/pm for offset a/c.I need to check some similar home loan (as above) with interest in advance. See my other thread on home loan – https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forums/getting-technical/finance/4331003And from duckster link – I see can pay MAX 12 months advance interest.
Terry, got itNow have to check the loan am planning BW, IO, 95%+LMI, 100% offset allows 'interest in advance' or not duckster, nice article link give by you.
