I have a question…when purchasing 1 property after another, where do you come up with the deposit…or enough equity to keep LVR’s below 80%?
In the book 0-13, Steve always has large deposits?
There is no easier answer. A combination of hard work/savings and capital growth. Buying undervalued property and/or adding value in a rising market all helps.
If you have the good fortune (the harder you work the luckier you get) to locate and buy a property which you can more or less instantly flip at a profit then you will produce some income which will go a long way towards establishing a higher deposit for the one you decide to keep.
At other times the vendor may be prepared to lend you a deposit via an unregistered mortgage (which the lender therefore wouldn’t know about unless you tell them about it).
However, not disclosing relevant facts to a lender is not ethical.
I would think that, if one doesn’t quite comfortably qualify for a loan by the bank’s standards, one may place oneself in a situation where, if something goes wrong somewhere along the line, one may possibly create a financial stressful situation for oneself.
Better to avoid stress (and the consequences) and grow at a bit slower pace ?
