    Hi Guys,

    OK so the new APRA rules the other week have been a pain in the butt. I’m currently in the middle of refinancing and restructuring and now NAB said I can’t get the discounted rate that i was previously advised due to one of my loans being investment and the ‘new rules’ :'(

    Anyway, cancelling application and back to the drawing board. Brokers recommended ING @ 4.12% variable (down from 4.66% with NAB). Rates really good, dislikes are no credit card facility and my trust bank account isn’t an offset.

    2 Loans, total ~$750 borrowings, over 2 entities (one in name, one in company trust).

    Any advise if there’s any good deals going around or another lender with cc/100% offset for company name/same rate?

    Hi Anthony

    Don’t focus on rate – it’s a sure way to bugger up loan structures and longer term plans UNLESS you’re content with your current properties and have no plans on releasing equity and buying more.

    Cheers

    Sounds to me like you are jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

    A rate might sound great on the surface but one day you might want to access equity in your property or increase your portfolio.

    Starting with the wrong lender from day 1 isn’t going to improve the situation.

    Cheers

    That wont do you much good.

    You need to investigate their Credit Policy and you wont have access to this.

    Cheers

    Hi Dean,

    ING. I’m not a power property investor like you guys and only had a goal of 1 or 2 more properties in the next 2 years, and due to equity and income it wasn’t a problem. Also got a great rate, lower than 4% after cashback. Main gold was switching loans to I/O as both were principal so i could build a healthy deposit for other non property investments. I know that’s a little old school, and i know what i should be doing, but it’s what i feel more comfortable for with risk. Would rather save, invest then loose, then borrow, invest and have to pay it back.

    Localised policy changed – to be honest I see that as a much healthier response than blanket restrictions for Australia wide!

    To be honest I’m ok with that.

    As long as 20% deposit applies to both home owners AND investors I’m fine with any rule they want to implement INCLUDING raising deposits to 30% (or even 40%) for Sydney properties AS LONG AS it applies to both occupiers AND investors…….

    Would be good for people to reign in their spending a little bit.
