    Try the following. Refinance property 1 and 2 as follows:

    Property 1 –   borrow upto 80% or 154k assuming increase in net debt
    Property 2- borrow 80% to 240k

    Above assumes full doc and deal services. Also split property 1 and property 2 between 2 different banks. You should not put all your eggs in one basket

    Just make sure you pick a lender where for residential lending rates are the same for company or person. Most brokers should be able to guide you here :)

    From memory Aussie have a floating scale, so the more your write the greater the commission %. Have you gone to one of their information evenings?

    A couple of points to be aware of:

    1. If you require less than the preapproved amount (ie bought a checaper property) generally the lender will give you 95% of the property purchase – assuming the bank valuation of the property is as per the purchase price
    2. Re point 2 you can get the maximum loan amount – remembering though banks will require you to deomnstrate at least 5% in savings or equity in another property
    3. Varies according to client preferences. Generally fine some clients like the peace of mind knowing that they have been preapproved

    Hi Wayne

    I believe the above can be done and while it makes sense there a couple of thing that you need to note:

    1. Serviceability –  you need to prove the bank that can afford to pay/service the loan. Banks will assess you ability to to repay the loan based on the income on your tax returns if you go for a full doc product. If you go Low Doc then LVR below 60% is desirable – in this instance as you avoid LMI
    2. Valuations – bank valuations are more of an art than a science at times so you need to ensure you go with a bank that has a good track record with valuations – last thing you want is a branch banker doing the valuation
    3. Cross collateralisation – try to avoid this and any decent broker will be able to show you how to do this

    Just some food for thought.

    Personally I agree changes arte nowhere near tight enough. It seemed like everybody with a loan calculator was a mortgage broker you could be delivering pizza's one day and writing loans the next.

    One of the things concerning me about the industry was the lack of professionalism (of some operators) who tarnished the reputation of others.

    As outlined above it is definitely getting harder. Try Aussie or there is a firmnot sure if I remember their name but they will mentor you, aggregate etc for a bigger cut of commission I think it is 40%….

    Terry/Richard what do you think of the tightenting of regulation?

    Richard NAB Credit says the same thing in Victoria. They require a personal guarantee regardless of LVR. Would be interested in understanding what are the conditions NAB has for no PG?

    They have as much approval authority as you and me :)  Every few years a bank runs a campaign similar to this.  Reality is  Richard is right!

    ANZ. They do PAYG low doc. They confirm employment but not income but as advised that opportunity is gone.  There are other lenders who will do it but rather are around 9%.

    As I do not know your circumstances and given your ANZ experience other lenders may not be such a good idea.

    Anybody can operate a computer program, and anybody can read the results. The real value of a mortgage broker is being able to offer exceptional customer service and offer the right advice. I do not think the ABN is an issue with a few lenders.Regards

    Chris and Richard I totally agree with your comments. In my expewrience most brokers can only deal with basic structures and anything beyond the standard type deal becomes too hard. When looking for a broker I firmly believe you should interview a broker like you would a prospective employee. Do not be sucked in by the big brands (this in no way implies the do a poor job) and find a broker that:

    1. you feel comfortable with

    2. understands your needs

    3. understands property investing

    4. will partner with you for the long haul

    5. obesses about customer service and can make things happen for you

    Personally like Richard I also will only commit to a client who does not scheme .

    Finally if you feel you need to become a broker because the quality of brokers you have experienced are not great think again. It is not that easy. My advice would be you be better served looking for a broker who meets your needs.

    As the other readers mentioned it is clawback.  However there are a number of ways around this as the other users have suggetsed. In the end the broker should be able to recommend solutions that ensure you get a great product and also he does not get penalized.

    Regards
