    Hi
    I hope someone can help me with this. Brokers please feel free too!
    I am doing a couple of quick reno sells & would like to find finance with little to no entry & exit fees as they become quite substantial when it is over just a few months. this shifts the effective rates through the roof.
    I am after a loan with the lowest TOTAL costs including interest & fees, not just a low interest rate
    I am sure many out their in reno land are in the same boat

    One of the standard loans wiht a major bank is probably the way to go. eg Bankwest’s Lite Home Loan, 6.65% with about $300 in exit fees.

    With brokers, we usually have to give back all or most of the commission if the client’s loan is repaid within the first 12 months.

    And that one you mention there is the one I typically use, but am thinking twice about it now because where I was payintg $500 in Est. fees as an individual, now that I am operating through a Trust, the sting is $800 Est. Fees and then the $300 to bail out.

    There surely must be a cheaper option than $1100 in fees alone on top of your interest.

    We use a CBA Business mobile lender and she set us up a variable loan at 5.99% which we’ve used twice so far on a reno and sell. When we sell the property we pay the loan down to $10k and then reinstate the loan for the next purchase. No establishment fees providing we don’t repay in full within 5 years.

    But when you reinstate the loan, is the security over the new property, or over a consistent property such as your own home. I am wondering how the bank does not stiff you for valuation fees and so on.

    Thoughts?

    I know of a lender who will give you 90 days to find your next security property and will foat the loan unsecured for this time, which means you can look for your next property while yours is on the market and when you sell you take your loan with you and never have to pay it out. It’s portability with a huge difference – If you haven’t found your next you then have 3 months to come up with the goods before your loan expires and you get the fees. Now you gotta be happy about that…

    With the CBA they have us on a “Wealth” package (ie. debt over $500k) which entitles us to a .5% interest discount on all our loans plus no bank valuation fees.
    We do pay an annual fee of around $300 but we’re well in front I think.

    Thanks to everyone for contributing
    Amanda, you say annual fees of $300 but no valuation fees. are there any establishment fees or similar?
    we have a great relationship with Bendigo bank & would like to remain loyal to them as they have to us over the years. they are not very creative in their thinking however we have managed to change their thoughts a couple of times in the past & hope they can provide something to suit us now. however we need to look after ourselves 1st so we are looking to find the best deal possible.
    Does anyone else use/provide a loan/package that suits?

    thanks again everyone with your help

    Amanada last time I checked the CBA’s Wealth Package it was on a “relationship balance” of $150,000 or more and the Wealth Package Plus which was the superior by far product was on a “relationship balance of $250k.

    .7% discount is great but it’s only off the standard variable rate which in most cases isn’t much better than you can have your broker negotiate for you without the annual fee…

    I think perhaps brahms forgot to mention that part…

    Shop around. If your bank won’t play walk…
