    rent isn’t dead money – its the economic cost of NOT living under a bridge. everything has its place and time.

    12 months out and 20% deposit = first tier lender approval.

    mi will consider after 18 months.

    obviously someone who pays 90c vs 2c in the dollar is considered more favourably – but not exclusively.

    hi land64, i guess u need to determine if its structural or not, termites tend to follow moisture, lots of internal damage is a initiated by failed water proofing of showers/baths/kitchen sinks etc.

    commonly (during treatment) these areas are isolated and ‘fixed’ – you just have to be sure of where exactly they have been ‘fixed’. ie. one wall or three, half the ceiling or ‘just’ one corner where the gutter over flowed etc etc etc.(with termites no amount of etc’s can be enough!)

    i can only repeat my first post, redo the pest and building inspection, it could save you 10’s of thousands if u get it wrong.

    cheers

    after a quick review of rising costs, i think some upside in the rental income stream is required.

    Landt, where is the property? the reason i ask is because termites are common in qld, not so common in vic, so we qlder’s tend to take it in our stride – what i mean is when i see a fence eaten out by white ants i sort of think ‘thats good, i know where they are..’

    for what its worth, i’d redo the building and pest report… burning up a couple of hundred now is better than a couple of thousand next year.

    BDM aka Brochure Delivery Man

    but more seriously, a bdm has to be able to make a difference – promising the world and delivering an atlas really doesn’t cut it.

    i really find it necessary to have confidence in the lender behind the bdm – if my clients get substandard service post settlement it will reflect on me – not interested in this sort of outcome.

    and when running a scenario – saying NO is a good thing, just do it quickly so i can move on and place the loan somewhere else.

    returning calls, emails, contactability etc is simply ‘business practice’ – if its not appropriate than i can only reiterate Terry’s words.

    and importantly, bdm’s need a very good expense account or at least a corporate box at the ‘gabba – he he, just kidding…

    cheers

    Carlyle
    waiving mi on 95% i’d rate as highly ambitious – one option would be to effect purchase at 95% and then capitalise the mi to a max of 97% – some banks restrict ‘refinances’ to 90% – so be careful to get this right.

    as stated earlier, talk to a broker, a good one will make this job so much easier.

    Also, you may even consider a reverse mortgage – these mostly do disciminate on age -ie, you have to be at least 65yrs (or something like that) to get one – these offer a number of options –

    – lump sum payment
    – monthly pmt to supplement other income streams
    – all of the above

    i wouldn’t write it off that quick – depends on overall strenght and the property itself. Oh, and it depends on lender.

    i’d suggest you discuss this with your solicitor -particularly if you engaged a WA solicitor to act on your behalf.

    maybe thay can recommend someone to act on your behalf on a fee for service basis.

    its sort of like asking …

    ‘whos got the best mortgage manager?’

    is there any difference between packaged up Adelaide Bank, ING Bank, Macquarie Bank, Origin, Liberty etc from one manager to the next?

    as Rob has said, other factors apply to any finance application.

    the original question from uforia was concise – refering to mortgage insurance only.

    get it??

    there is a pure relationship between loan amount and the applicants salary, savings and situation.

    its sort of…non negotiable (no matter if “u r da man’ – apologies to the other ‘the man’)
