You might find it difficult to get rid of your personal guarantee over a small development, Unless you can get your loan to value ratio down on the whole project. I.e. down to 50-60% as a limited recourse or non recourse loan.

Some banks don’t like 2nd mortgages. It’ll be that you are taking a line of credit out with anz and then use that money to find the deposit, with the remaining finance coming from NAB.

CBA are one of the banks that will go 2nd in line on a mortgage. Most banks policy is to be 1st and 1st only.

I wouldn’t say there is a abundance of cashflow positive properties in metro areas. Certainly the exist. Most larger commercial buildings would be, units can be, houses rented out by room can be. Houses with granny flats, houses which you might do a quick renovation on to bump the rent can be, subdivisons where you buy house and sell land or…[Read more]
