May be a dumb question, but why do you need to multiply by 31?
I thought interest only was just purchase price multiplied by the interest rate, then divided by 12 to get the monthly repayment.
SO have I been working this out wrong?[]
So I would get 120,000×6.69%=$8028/12=$669 per month.[?]
My thought on the subject I guess I have always done my calculations this way …
you take the loan amount divide it by the current interest rate multiply by 365 days in the year you now have a daily rate x that by 31 days in the month this is only rough because there are 30 31 29 days in the months but it gives a good indication …[]
You, and the banks, need to include some consideration for vacancies – which is why (I suspect) most banks do not consider 100% of rental income when calculating loan serviceability.
There are lenders out there that will lend based on valuation only. No CRAA checks and no income checks. (They do not care if you can service the loan or not). So yes you can get a loan, but be careful.
The obvious reason for excluding some of the rental income is because rental income by itself doesn’t tell us that one needs to take into account the vacancy factor for the properrty, the repairs, maintenance, rate and possible land tax charges, insurance etc etc.
So a lender who will only take say 80% of the rental income into account is doing it for that reason.
You said: `I have just read 0-130 and i believe that if u can +cf property from renting then why do u need an income to service loan.´
There is no guarantee that we can have a tenancy for 25 years or the term of the loan. What if you need major repairs or all the other things associated with a mortgage on an old house? Generally old houses are the only ones that are CF pozz these days.
It is a real risk for you to have a new mortgage on a pension.
