    Hello

    Im in the market to purchase a first home in Sydney (More than likely a unit). Ive been self employed for over 3 years but would like a lo doc loan that is slightly higher than the current 80 lvr. Ive heard there are 85% lo doc loans but not sure how available they are.

    Really would like to know as that would save my wife and I a heck of cash upfront.

    Cheers

    Yes they are but you will really pay for it with regards to interest rate.

    80% is a lot more favourable.

    Thanks Richard.

    Would you be able to do the loan? What rate are we talking about and would I be able to refinance to a lower rate in a year or so?

    Cheers

    At the moment probably around 11.5%

    Regretfully at the moment there are limit lenders who will refinance lodoc so you need to be prepared to be in for the long hall. Lodoc 80 is a different matter.

    You could try State Custodians.  They are a non bank lender and don't deal with brokers.  http://www.statecustodians.com.au

    I think they may be much cheaper.  Better Mortgage Management are another.
