    Hi Tom

    Think we have been this route before.

    There is only 2 standard lenders left i am aware of who will do lodoc construction in the current climate and the interest rates are not attractive.

    Refinancing a lodoc deal is also an issue in its own rights.

    Both loans would need to be done on a declared income basis.

    i am not asking to refinance an existing loan .i am seeking financial options to build a new home while selling the existing ppor

    How do you build a new house without a construction loan?
    do you have enough CASH?

    Tom, perhaps you could consider selling the first IP thus freeing up $120,000 or so? This should be enough to have the new building "substantially complete" and if timed well the proceeds from your PPOR (once you have moved into the substantially complete dwelling) will complete the construction. Then have a look at what you've got left and reload your investment portfolio.

    sounds like you are going to have to sell one of the houses, id say the one you owe the most on, build your house get your debt free block of land and re work your money in to a new inv property when all is done. Might sound feel like you are selling a house you prob got a good deal on but if you can put that money to better use there is no reason not to sell.

    The other option could be private investers or some sort of silent partner to fund some or all of the funds needed to build. You have about 120k in equity so im sure some one out there would be interested!?

    Hi Tom.

    Just a thought, but could you sell the home, then rent as cheaply as possible for the time it takes to build on the block?  As your block would be debt free, and you have equity and cash flow in your other investments, I think you might be able to borrow against it despite your less favorable business figures?
