    That’s great
    But the bank is lending on $350,000 not $310,000
    But if the bank doesn’t know I hope it’s legal.

    Can anyone help ?

    We need to get some advice on how to record a rebate from a vendor.
    Here is an example-:
    Property cost is $ 350,000
    I did a valuation it’s $ 340,000
    Paid $1,000 deposit and signed contract
    contract has gone to bank.settlement in 60 days
    7 days later vendor comes to me and wants to settle in 55 days, needs money.
    did deal to give rebate of $40,000 if I settle earlier.
    He signed an adendum to state this.
    Do I need to show bank this or should I just show conveyancer and let her adjust at settlement.
    I have approval in writing from bank for this loan

    The way I see it, option A (the vendor assisting by lending part of the deposit) appears infinitely better to me than option B because I am very debtphobic.

    That is partly because of my age and partly because of some unhappy experiences whereby I got caught (on more than one occasion) with loans whilst (because of the economic climate) not being able to find buyers.

    Hi Picies,
    Option 1 sounds good to me Let’s see if I got this right.
    House contract at $ 250,000
    I can get 80% from bank = $200,000
    Does that mean in the contract the deposit paid shows as $ 50,000 Is there a clause in the contract to say there is vendor finance?or do you have seperate document with the vendor only.
    My experience is banks don’t like vendor finance in contracts

    Please let me know, either here or email me at [email protected]
    Thanks Smiley

    I can see however that option B may well be preferred by some others who are centring on pocketing the difference in interest paid and interest received.

    There are some black marks against Option B.
    the way I see it.

    For example,a few vacancies all at the one time AND being unable to fill the properties quickly with new tenants may put one under pressure (and may well bring the deck of cards come thundering down).

    Yeh, I know that having access to some cash elsewhere would act as insurance but (I would think that) many people haven’t got that (when they start out) and , for them, progressing a bit slower may be the key.

    Another drawback is that the more money we owe the harder it gets to get the next loan because of perceived inability to service from the bank’s point of view.

    A low Doc type of loan may overcome that problem, though at a cost.
