  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Which banks / instituions give finance in the forum Finance 12 years, 11 months ago

    Fairly straight forward-Find a qualified mortgage broker(like a few on these forums) you are happy to work with and let them go to work for/with you.They do it day in day out, may as well leverage that experience.Personally i don't worry where the money comes from (which bank) as long as it keeps coming!

  • Well said angelinsydneyShort term gain for someones else's pain is far from worth it.As for buying and renting back to original owner, having a professional property manager would be a good way of separating the relationship a little and keeping it professional to minimise the risk of sour feelings?? Third party to handle payments also takes away…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Broker gone mad??? in the forum Finance 12 years, 11 months ago

    Not knowing your situation fully, its a bit fuzzy.Its not always said very often however it does need some thought, – The current economic climate.If the house prices are stagnating it could be worth thinking about P&I.( ever so slightly pay some down)If the prices were growing fast you would not hesitate to go IO as the growth in prices with earn…[Read more]

    Well said.You are
    13 years, 11 months ago

    Hi BankerWell said.You are correct. That would be a good example of the 5-10% of the time it might be a better choice of finance structure.

  • All depends on the usual suspects-, personal circumstances. Income amount & type, equity, credit worthiness….. Let any of us know if they need specific quotes etc.

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Benefits of Cross Collateralising in the forum What a topic to get people 13 years, 11 months ago

    What a topic to get people talking!Its got to be a 90%-95% sure thing CC isn't a great idea with most people. If your excuse is extra paperwork-YOUR LAZY.Banks are finance institutions, they make money from lending money, not necessarily helping you grow your portfolio. They are only interested in making margins from loans and having more…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Looking for a good mortgage broker in the forum Finance 14 years ago

    HI RishiThe popular brokers on this forum are pretty good as you may come to figure out.Just always use a broker that has enough turnover you will not get biased results with them trying to for fill the minimum loan writing requirements with certain banks. Some smaller brokers may not for fill these easily.

  • Hiisnt this a finance forum?

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic How should I buy an investment property? in the forum Help Needed! 14 years, 2 months ago

    I think it is also worth doing a worst case senario also.Protecting your assets is just as important as building them up.Do few examples,The Investment property is unrented? Who pays the gap?You lose your income? Who pays?Your parents hit a pothole? How are they covered?The place burns down? Will insurance cover?Im in no way being negative, you…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Best way of negotiating a cheaper price in the forum Help Needed! 14 years, 3 months ago

    Research Research Research.Once you have found an area and a location in that area you will start to know which properties are high priced or low priced.You are then positioned to negotiate the best "bargin" and effectively buy at a discount to the market.You make you money on the way in(buying) not on the way out(selling) by way of creating an…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Is it ever worth paying down any property? in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago

    Yes agreed with DucksterThe banks wish for you to pay your loan down(reduce their risk) and then it becomes harder to release that equity to move forward(Especially in the current tight credit market!!!!)Offset accounts are great if you are savy with your budgeting and your loans are partly or fully floating rates. Fixed rate loan interest…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Appealing a valuation in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago

    HiThere isn't really anyway of appealing it.Only advice would be to get your own independent valuation, if this is considerably higher, send that and your other supporting evidence to the original valuer and maybe ask the bank to get another valuation done by someone else.Although its clearly never going to be admitted the banks(LMI's) control the…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Using surplus mortgage to use as a deposit in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago

    Hi TremeloHow was the original amount borrowed? Equity? Line of credit? Same bank for both properties?Your broker should be able to devise a way of structuring it correctly.No 1 rule= Avoid cross collaterisation 99% of time.

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Help Needed – Starting Out in the Finance Game!! in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago

    WowThere are some really great ideas there. And some different ways to go about ways already working on.Real estate agents are not always very lucrative however as mentioned above, finding the "right" agent is worth the time and effort.  Some one who is ambitious and motivated, knows what they are talking about!Very good strategies. Well done to…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Fixed Or Variable, that is the question in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry-forgot to say, bookmark the link if you like, We watched it as the rates were coming down and it was very close in the predictions…The fixed wholesale rates are generally the cost of the banks funding and they forecast what they think the rates are going to do.If fixed is heading up, the floating will follow. With the fixed rates all…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Fixed Or Variable, that is the question in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago

    This chart is updated daily i believe.http://www.asx.com.au/data/trt/ib_expectation_curve_graph.pdfThe only way to look at fixed rates is to monitor wholesale rates.We knew a few investors who got the 5 year fixed at it lowest point…..Its now not really that cost efficient to fix as the averages are far too high above the floating rates. HOWEVER…[Read more]

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Low Doc Loans to 80% without LMI in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago

    They all seem to want BAS statements so far.(which in turn pretty much makes it a full doc…..) We need the cycle to gain a bit more momentum so the banks will ease up some.There are one or two No-Doc loans(with fairly high lvr's) still available i think.

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Newby Investor – Finance Structure Confusing in the forum Finance 14 years, 5 months ago

    The results program is well recommended, i cannot personally say i have done it however know investors that have.The newer you are the better lessons you will learn.

  • Investment-Mortgages replied to the topic Which loan should I go for? in the forum Finance 14 years, 5 months ago

    Yes all above is great advice,Clients that have been in the property cycle for a while as Richard and Terry would attest to, use borrowed money to borrow more(more investment property) ensuring it is all tax deductible.Like Richard said everyone's situation is different however interest only  is usually the best option to free up cashflow and…[Read more]
