    I am suprised the OFT had anything to do with t is certainly a BC matter.

    Dependant on which State you are in will determine the higher authority but certainly you are not allowed to make any alterations like that without BC approval and possibly Building Approval again depending on the State and the Local Authority requirements.

    Terry is correct about his comment about fixed rate loans and offset accounts.

    In saying this many of the mainstream lenders will offer this on their 1 year rates so could e well worth for peace iof mind.

    Good surname by the way.

    You could also consider life, IP and trauma. These are individual policies and not related to your property.

    if you only borrow 80% of the value of the property,  you should be able to get a morgage without a clause in it that allows the lender to claim against non-morgaged assets if you default on your loan. [ or even other morgaged properties].
    also without having LMI to pay. –
    Hate to say it doesnt work that way. The Bank are not going to change their standard mortgage terms and conditions for you.

    Yes it would involve duty at the normal rate charged however the SD is then added to the cost base for any future sale and the entire debt becomes Tax deductible.

    At the moment i probably do a deal a week for clients in the same position.

    Usually they have paid off their PPOR and then decide they wish to buy a bigger home yet keep the old PPOR as an IP.
    When you explain to them that the interest on the new loan would not be Tax deductible they are stunned and want a way to be able to claim the interest.

    Many applications these days are lodged electronically so where you broker is located reallt makes no difference at all.

    I have clients all over Australia and the world many of whom i have never spoken to or actually met. 
    With the electonic age and internet /  email the world is certainly becoming a smaller place. 

    The exception maybe if you are buying in WA where your broker needs to hold an appropriate Credit License.

    What about selling the investment property into a Unit Trust and borrowing the full valuation price being say $240K and then using the residual net proceeds ($240K minus loan owning of $100K) to pay down your PPOR non deductible mortgage.

    This shifts $140K of the loan from non deductible to deductible debt.

    You need to crunch the numbers depending on your marginal tax rates but if you intend to keep the property long term will certainly save you a considerable amount of non deductible interest of the coming years.

    Hi Anita

    Of course it is wise to shop around.

    Obtaining finance is like buying any commondity.

    You wouldn't go to your local mechanic and get a quote to repair the car and if you thought it was a bit on the expensive side just get it done anyway you would get a second quote and compare what both had to offer.

    Finance is similar however if you find someone you get on with and appear to now his apples from his oranges and can perform and achieve what you want then you would normally stay with them.

    By the way there are a few lenders who provide No Doc construction loans depending on the post code.

    In saying all this if you find someone who works well for you and they are professional in their apporach

    If the property is tenanted you could look at Citibank who will go upto 85% LVR subject to income, and location of the property.

    I do a fair amount of Commercial / Development deals but as i am leaving for the UK in the morning you would be better of to try the lender direct.

    Hi dead

    On the basis that it is a IO loan you are being charged less interest with a 100% offset account.

    Other consideration in refinancing is the cost of the LMI again. Unlikely you will get more than a 40% refund from ING

    Hi Peter

    This one is fairly simple but just needs to be structured properly.

    Look to establish a Line of credit against your PPOR to a level of 80/90% LVR (80% + means you will probably be paying LMI) so maybe go to 80% first but with a lender that you can increase it down the track).

    Then look to take out individual standalone loan secured against each IP again to a level of 80% using your LOC to bridge the 20% deposit and acuisition costs. Link a 100% offset account to the Interest only IP loan and deposit your cash in this account.

    This will give you on call access to your funds as well as offsetting the interest being charged on the IP loan.

    Repeat formula for following IP's utilising cash when LOC has been fully drawn.

    If they are already strata titled then this would a lot easier.

    Why not just finance 3 with one lender and 3 with another.

    Would be a fairly straight forward deal.

    Mal

    Think you will find the majority of lenders require the loan to be mortgage insured on a lodoc / nodoc loan where the LVR is > 60% even if the premium is built into the interest rate.

    I am aware of a couple that will go to 80% or higher on lodoc / nodoc but there is always a catch with these.

    Serviceability should not be an issue if the loans are structured correctly and there are some excellent lodoc / nodoc rates out there.

    Hi Ben

    Think you main problem will be the LVR.

    Anything over 4 units on the 1 Title is considered as a Commercial deal and therefore cannot be mortgage insured.

    This then limits the LVR to 80% or below.

    If the 6 units are already strata titled then this is a different matter and certainly there are ways around it.

    Other than see if the Vendor will leave some funds in to the deal for say 12 months your only alternative will be to consider private funding which will be more expensive.

    George

    Get your broker to go into bat for you.

    If the property is sold through a reputable real estate agent then you should not have any problems in revising the valuation.

    On the basis that you register an ABN you could consider making application for a Nodoc loan where no evidence or declaration of income is required.

    It is likely that you will need to provide between 20-30% deposit for each purchase as well cover the acquisition and refurbishment costs but this could be drawn from your existing properties if structured correctly.

    In saying this there is nothing to stop you buying with your partner on a Tenants in Common basis where you could have his income taken into consideration yet you enjoy the majority of the profits.

    Only thing to consider is the early exit fees charged by most lenders when it comes to buy, renovate and sell style loans.
