      Catching up allour arrears just need some help to get it all tidied up quickly,  the cause of our situation was the overruns and extras of construction of residential property, the purchase of new vehicle at the same time as one of the doctors at my wifes surgery leaving her wage then  dropped   from  1730 to 1320 per fortnight, A new doctor has now came to the surgery which took 12 mnths and as of the last 8 weeks her wage has been back to its proper $1730

      while it is back to normal it is still taking a while to catch up a burst hot water service 2 weeks ago at the rental property didn't help.

    2nd mortgages/ caveat loans  in cases like this are very expensive. Could be 10% or more on a second and even 5% per month in some cases on a caveat loan.

    The main thing is keeping your lender up to date with your circumstances. I've seen people struggle in arrears for two years with major banks and never get defaulted or foreclosed. The banks will assess you as a retain or exit category. Retain means they will assist you to get through. Exit, well…

    Assuming you keep everyone on side and keep your credit rating clean. Most lenders will ask for 6 months statements when you refinance: – therefore you need to keep your nose clean before you can refinance.

    Alternatively look at someone like Liberty Financial (through a broker). They can approve with arrears etc as long as you can prove you are now back on track.

    Note: – if the funds are for personal use e.g. consumer debt, second and caveat lending might not be an option. Investment debt is a little easier.

    Hope this helps. Good luck…

    Hi chas

    If caveat or 2nd mortgage finance isn't available, you may rectify the situation by selling the IP with vendor finance (VF).  A VF sale should generate positive cash flow at three points, i.e:
    1.  The upfront deposit the new VF buyers pays.  Our experience shows this can range anywhere from $15K to $60K and can include the FHOG
    2.   It should be possible to structure the sale so the property generates approximately $500 per month positive cash, for the life of the VF arrangement
    3.  The back end profit.  This is the difference between what the new VF buyer owes you when they sell or refinance and what you owe to your lender.

    We call this a "negative2positive" process and it's a great tool for re-structuring out of a tight situation and getting your relationship with your lender back into good standing.

    Cheers,  Paul
