I live in Perth and the average price of a 3 bedroom house, within 10 – 20km of the cbd, and close to amenities is $350 – $450k.
This means i need to have saved approx $30 – $40k before banks will consider giving me a mortgage, in the current economic climate anyway.
I heard that banks are considering returning to the 95% LVR they recently offered prior to the GFC?
does this mean i will only need to save up $15 – 20k instead of the tedious $30 – $40k.
I hope so, as it will save me sooo much time slaving away on the 40 – 50hr week.
Does anyone know anything 'bout this???
95% loans never totally went away. A few banks continuted to offer them and now more banks are reintroducing them. There are even 100% loans, and one which is 103% (- or 105%?? I started a thread on it a few weeks ago)

As Terry said but the criteria for getting a 95% lvr has certainly toughened.
If you are a clean skin 1 employer and 1 residential address in the last 3 years no external debt other than a credit card you should be ok.

What exactly do you mean by 'clean skin?' – ive been in my current job 7 months, and ive been renting the same flat for 2 yrs 8 months.
Ive only got $1000 saved for a deposit so far. However i have $10, 000 saved in my super. i want to use it as part of my deposit before it flutters away in a sharemarket crisis, i just dont know who to speak to…
Any ideas anyone?
How are you going to access your Superanuation ?
With only 7 months in your current employment it is going to be hard unless you have been in the sme line of work for 3 years in total and ideally 3 years in the same residence would have been prefered.
$1000 savings is not going to be anywhere enough as that probably wont even cover the mortgage registration / transfer fees in WA let alone conveyancing costs etc etc.
The FHOG will not be counted as genuine savings so you will need to have a lot more over a 3 months period.

haha nice one, im actually 30 years off 64.
I have spoken to a group called – superannuation recall. Apparently, according to them, they are able to help me access my super. then i can use it for an investment property deposit or start a business.Now i may seem a tiny bit naive but this scheme sounds a little dodgy to me. So I didnt go thru with it.
Im caught in this situation again.Its crap really. Really.
Ive allready used the first home owners grant in '03. ive made 2 purchases and 2 sales so far in my property investment journey. Now im back to square one, unfortunately.thanx guys
I had a look at the website and they seem to be setting up self managed super funds. Maybe you misunderstood what they were doing, but it probably involves transferring your super to a fund you set up your self and then that fund investing in property. You are still faces with having your super locked away until retirement, but you can control it more.

hey thanx, yes true – set up a SMSF then use that to deposit investments. However i'll be faced with approximately 2k p.a running costs. yes i understand.
Im better off managing my super better, just means more research.
In terms of coming up with a deposit im going to have to do something creative, just to cut the time in half. Maybe buy a cheap old property out woop woop just for the equity or somethin similar.
Probably need to expand my knowledge/mindset a bit more, as opposed to hitting the niteshifts and working longer hours/more jobs.
thanx team
