Hi Richard,I beg to differ it is not a requirement and is offered at 80% without LMI. It is at the lenders discretion and there own risk. The lender does not require BAS or trading statements if an Accountants Certification is obtained.Kind Regards,AM

Hi Sienna,Matt is most correct on this one. Being from a lender it is extremely difficult if not impossible to have the valuer adjust his valuation. Most lenders will not allow a 2nd valuation as the process will just continue if your not happy with that one also.Most people make the mistake of getting a real estate appraisal and honestly the…[Read more]

Hi Guys,I know a lender that will look at 80% Low Doc without LMI Clear credit. They only require a Repayment Declaration and Accountants Letter. If you try to obtain the Accountants Letter and are unable they will ask for six (6) months trading statements. No Doc is dead. Anyone lending that way would be mad.Kind RegardsAM

Maybe a lender can help instead of a bank.Andy

Hi Michael,Richard is right. The 1 brm unit should be over 50 sqm in size in order to obtain a 70% plus LVR. Anything from 40-50 sqm maybe 60-70% were you can get up to 95% on Melton property on a Full Doc loan. If the property is serviced or under a management agreement or high rise development also affect the 1 brm unit. Ring a few lenders or…[Read more]

6.6% in Traralgon VIC. Negotiated on the price though.L.AHappiness is made. Try making some.

Very touchy the mortgage insurers now days. The valuation may have read noise pollution and that is now a reason for them to decline. Is the loan a Low Doc or Full Doc? What LVR? My dealings with the mortgage insurers know days are nightmarish. The valuer should have really noted the report is known by two (2) addresses. Let me know if i can help.L.A

You can use your partners parents property and as Terry says they will have to refinance any debt over to the lender if they have a debt associated with the property. This is known as a…[Read more]

Lenders and Banks are a bit touchy when it comes to these securities. LVR's vary. No differences in relation to structure of the loan, however its your LVR that is reduced.The ugly is it has a limited market at the Over 55's, so it is all dependent on researching the area to ensure there is a high demand. To be honest you dont want to be…[Read more]
