This bank does not operate in Australia but offers expat mortgages.

Should I disclose my neutral geared property investments and shares in Australia to them? Will this hurt or help my application? Can foreign banks check credit history in Australia?

Thanks

Check out the buy, swap & sell section of the forum

Seems to be a few copies floating around out there for sale, but couldn’t tell you if they’ve already been bought or not.

– How to assess landlord insurance
– Property mobile app of the month (something different than just your run-of-the mill apps).
– Where the Federal and State infrastructure $ are going

And just in general be clear on downside risks in all of your articles. I think property successes gets trumped far…[Read more]

I think the estimated rental values are probably correct prior to the unit block completion, however when there is a sudden flood of rental stock on the market those estimates would undoubtedly come down.

My logic is that they don’t know the credit history of whoever your beneficiaries so why would they allow the mortgage owners to change name (?)

Therefore I imagine this would be…[Read more]

Thanks for your comments (and everybody else's!).

To start a portfolio, at some stage you would have had to have ramped up with little or no equity and THEN made the decision at some point to pay them down?

Otherwise, how could you pay down AND save for further deposits to expand the portfolio?

I can see how as you pay them down…[Read more]

I was considering it the other day in fact. An electrician told me to go with the dual light/fan combo with a remote control…the remote control means they would not need to install an extra earth wire, therefore install costs are substantially…[Read more]

NSW) under positive or negative cashflow deals, specifying how much % you want from the yield. It sounds ideal for cashflow investors but I can't be sure of the accuracy (ie. where they pull their data from). Guess it also depends on how…[Read more]

One that will repeal the mining tax. And perhaps they are single handedly trying to lower the Aussie dollars value to improve profits…?

With a buyers agent there's usuually a hefty fee though whereas this company gets their payment from developer commissions. 
To be fair they did say to think of them as a different kind of real estate agent rather than a buyers agent

Thanks for your comments.
i am also thinking that I can likely find these properties myself but they're tempting for the lazy person in me!
