    Depends on what you mean by student accomadation.
    If you refer to a large Qlder that is zoned accordingly you will probably get 80% LVR but if you mean a multi-unit then you will be probably be limited to 65%.

    Cheers

    If it is just a house that has been set up then I would try for a normal residential loan – ideally with a lender who doesn’t require a formal valuation (the vlauer might point out the setup).

    Thats how I did mine.

    They will just use the normal rental though – will that be a snag to get serviceability through?

    If the property is in Brissie then you might get 90% but as Simon mentioned serviceability maybe an issue.

    Most Mortgage Insurers wont like the fact that the property has 2 kitchens so that may cause a problem.

    Guess that is where a good broker proves his worth …

    Simon,

    The property is in victoria. What reason would a lender not do a valuation and at what interest rate? I have the 25% required for a commercial loan and if this was remotly possible it would leave me with more cash to purchase more properties.

    I believe 75% would be achievable.

    You seem to want to not go through a broker for some reason.

    There are a few banks that do not require valuations on properties under a certain value and a certain LVR – sometimes 80%.

    Other lenders just require a kerbside valuation.

    But it all depends on the location/postcode, the amount, the LVR, the lender, whether it is a purchase or refinance and if a purchase whether there is a real estate agent involved (they are wary of people rorting things).

    Hello,

    For people trying to buy a commercial property the biggest hurdle is trying to come up with te 25% to 30 % deposit because supposidly it is of higher risk to the banks.
    I dont communicate with the banks directly i prefer to use a broker. It is possible to put a 5% deposit on a commercial property but what value is this to someone when the interest rate is over 9%.
