At the recent seminar, Steve spoke about Unlimited Finance. I spoke to a broker representing the NAB, which he told me as a guarantor, it would be still lists on my CRAA. Could someone who has use Steve’s technique or Steve let me know who is their broker, so that I can have a chat to them, as they know the ‘deal’
I would appreciate a reply so that I can get into. Is one of the last things I have to tie off.
I’ve read the thread. Listened to different opinions and I think it would be nice if Steve could be a bit more clearer on how this has worked for him, and is it still possible (five minutes at the seminar on Unlimited finance and one hour on standing around trying to buy a house…hmmm).
Steve holds no investing debt, can get FHOG, and qualifies for Centrelink payments. How can this man go guarantor??
Maybe as Brent suggested Steve could get his report and put it up on the website for all of us to view!! ( just kidding ).

I can understand how you can have unlimited finance from a serviceability viewpoint – so long as your average rental yield is high enough.
But doesn’t unlimited finance require unlimited deposits?
I can’t understand how you can have unlimited finance with a limited amount of deposit.
My only thought at this stage is to build this requirement into your strategy. For example, your strategy might be (in part or whole) to ensure your average yield is over 8.5% (for buy & hold properties) and that you do a buy-reno-sell every 2 properties to create instant equity. You can then use that equity as a deposit for your next two by & hold properties.
BUT there may be a better way – if so, I’d love to hear it.
Maybe you could suggest or hint []who your guy is at the NAB…a name and number is fine!!! I spoke to one and he assured me it would be listed on my craa.
I am not suggesting that he is no thorough as the nab don’t accept anything less, we just want the little tricks that will help us. [][][][][]
Is that enough smiles and winks???
I have alot riding on all of this, you may remember a commitment I made..[]
Hi walkernick
As I understand it the difference is that an application shows an enquiry on your CRA , it will show the amount that you applied for and when you applied for it. If you were to then take out a mortgage in your own name those borrowings would show on your CRA against your name. If you borrow as a guarantor for a company, it only shows as the enquiry no borrowings are actually listed against your name.
This is only what I have picked up from talking to friends in the game so please don’t take it as gospel.
I hope it helps your understanding of this concept.
Cheers

What is on my credit file?
Information about you and your credit history including:
– Personal details such as: name: residential address: date of birth: drivers licence number:
– Credit applications and enquiries you have made during the past 5 years
– Records of some current credit accounts
– Overdue Accounts (Defaults) which may have been listed against your name
– Bankruptcy information,Judgements
– Public record information such as Directorships and Proprietorships
It defines a credit application as:
quote:
A credit application is an application for credit made to a credit provider. These are held on file for 5 years from the date of the application.
– The information recorded includes:
– Who the application was made to
– The date of the application.
– The amount applied for.
– A general indication of the nature of credit being sought.
– A reference number for the application.
– Whether the application is a joint application, or relating to an application to act as guarantor
Therefore, it seems that if you act as gaurantor then it will be recorded on your credit file.
This is sensible as the strength of a guarantor is a very important consideration for the lender – especially where the applicant/s is not strong enough in their own right.
Hi Steve
Well, I tested it out a few months back, and sure enough, a loan to our company/trust structure where we were personally listed as guarantors shows up on my husband’s credit file, specifically stating he applied as guarantor.
Perhaps you manage to avoid this because you have a good, long term relationship with a personal banker at one bank, so they don’t do a credit check every time you borrow money?
It seems we mere mortals do get checked… []
Just on the unlimited deposits, Steve and DAve are a Wrappers (not the doof doof type) so when they do a deal the new purchaser gives them his next deposit, the yield is 7%+ I assume and hence unlimited finance, am I right guys.
There are private lenders that do not check your CRAA at all. They don’t even care about it. They lend purely on the valuation. BUT (and that’s a big BUT) the interest rates are around 12%.
So if you are willing to pay for it and can still come up with the deposits, you can get unlimited finance!
