Thanks Chris and Benny for the suggestion. Yes, my approach now is to whack it on my overseas credit card (whilst I have started the loan approach with a private lender which will take about 3 to 4 weeks to disburse and then payback the overseas credit card). The work should be done in 10 days (fingers cross) and then the tenant will then move in…[Read more]

Dear all,
I have been introduced to an investment opportunity in Maserton, New Zealand. The acquisition price is NZD 200,000 with an expected rental of NZD 380/week (gross yield around 9.9%).

Thanks Colin, I have just sent you a private message regarding my current situation.
jcso99 replied to the topic Increase borrowing capacity in the forum Finance 10 years, 5 months ago
Hi Colin,
The net surplus should also minus the existing loan repayments right? Secondly, are you saying that with AMP, they will add a 3% buffer to the current variable rate to calculate serviceability? Cheers John
jcso99 replied to the topic Increase borrowing capacity in the forum Finance 10 years, 5 months ago
I just have done some quick calculation, my rental income constitutes about 35% of total income but AMP, through my mortgage broker, is saying that I have serviceability issue, which i don’t understand. In total, my IPs are yielding at average 7.5% gross and they are located in metropolitan/regional cities and none of them are in mining towns.…[Read more]

Thanks all for your help. In a nutshell, I should be speaking with more mortgage brokers but from reading the post, it seems NAB and Macquarie might be my better options at this stage. Cheers John

Thanks for the feedback. I have a couple of follow up questions:
1) RMB income – I remember speaking with a mortgage broker in mid-2013 and told them that my income is denominated in RMB and their reply was that no bank will accept RMB salary.
