    I have 2 negatively geared properties to service. My repayments are at 10% of my net income. If I wanted to apply for another loan is there a rule of thumb limit for repayments, as a % of net income, the banks wont lend beyond?

    very generally.
    80% of rental income, and
    30% of salary
    must be greater than repayments of all loans.

    Yes.

    But this is a very rough guide.

    Another rule of thumb is 5 times annual income = borrowing cap

    Oh Terry under NCPP being a Broker is like standing in a downpour without an umbrella.

    If the reems of paper work doesnt get you the ongoing compliance will.

    Thankfully finding and Broking European properties doesnt require so much time  / paper.

    Cheers

    Not totally off topic….recently a friend was told by her MB that he now charged $350 for all new loans.  (NSW) Is this common practice now?

    Some brokers are switching to a fee for service model. There are number of reasons behind it – particularly the reduction in commission from lenders coupled with the removal of DEF.

    Tell me about it….and it's only going to get worse.

    I guess it helps weed out the dodgy characters and probably makes entering the industry less attractive to newcomers since the barriers to entry have increased.
