    hi all,

    here's the situation: I want to buy investment properties. I have about $30K for a deposit, a decent income of around $80K and have tried with a few lenders with no success to get a loan above $250K. The reason for this is is most of my income ,around 50K, is actually bonus/commission. Unless i borrow 80% or less, then they won't count my bonus as my income (because of lenders insurance). Does anyone know how a way around this? (other than borrowing 80% or less). Also, does anyone know a good accountant in Brisbane?

    Btw, i have no debts, no dependents or anything… it's really frustrating…

    thanks for any help you have to offer.

    Hi Keen as,

    Dependant on how long and how regular your bonus/commissions are then they are able to be used in the calculations for your income.

    Feel free to email all your info and I would be happy to see what any of the lenders I deal with could do for you.

    Hi Keen,

    I brought my first investment property about 12 months ago.  When the time came to secure finance for the property I had quite a bit of trouble getting a large enough loan.  My mortgage broker informed me that the problem seemed to rest  with the LMI providers.  So we ended up finding a lender that 'self insured', therefore by-passing any of the lenders insurance probs.  We got a very competitive rate as well.  If you would like the number of the mortgage broker I used (he is located in brissie) just message me and I will pass it on.

    Good luck!

    Regretfully Mark like every broker is governed by the mortgage insurers lending policy where the loan is > than 80% so no disrepect but he will have no greater pull than anyone else.

    In saying this if the bonus / commissions are regular you should be able to move forward.

    Qlds007,
    When you deal with any professionals some are more switched on and creative than others.
    I remember seen one accountant that stated that i owe ato 5K. So i went to the other (recommended) and actually got 3-4K back from ato.
    So, even they all governed by the same regulations, the result can be remarkably different.
    Just my 2c
