Milo,

If this is your plkan might I suggest you have splits on the loan which aportion directly to the existing loans. Then you can easily see where you are with each property.

Sonja,

Everything is open to justification.

Some lenders are better than others for different situations. If I knew your situation I might be able to suggest a lender who will be open to something.

All the best,

Gatsby,

I think you need to see a decent tax advisor ASAP.

I believe that you can claim holding costs incurred during a vacancy period if the property is available to rent.

What do you do – find a lender that wants your business. Or find a broker who can do it for you. Both cost the same.

Absolutely will affect your serviceability.

You didn’t seek this increase so obviously you don’t need it.

Toss it in the same place as all the other junk mail you get.

This will be allowed as long as you meet all the criteria for the second lender.

Are you certain there isn’t a third lender who can give you everything you need at the most competitive rate?

If you allow the lease to expire many tenants are happy to go onto a month to month arrangement.

This will allow you to sell the property to both an investor or a home buyer.

Places often present better furnished than empty, but this will depend upon the tidiness and willingness of the tenant to allow agents and prospective buyers…[Read more]

Harro,

My figures above were just an example to show you how you can use your home equity without using (and risking) it as security.

Just introducing a concept.

Subsitute what figures you wish.

Harro,

This is what you need to consider.

Establish a facility against your home. Say $100K.

Draw 20% deposits from this and also costs.

Take seperate loans for each new property.

Result – all loans are deductible and your home isn’t used as security for anything but the $100K.

What do you think?

There are NODOC loans available from 6.85% and as Terry points out will be limited to 65% of the total value of both properties.

I am unsure whether a business setup will be required. You probaly need to speak to an accountant to ensure you have the most appropriate structure.

All the best with your plans.

I believe that interest on capitalised interest is not deductible.

Please seek a tax experts advice on this one.

Is fraud.

Why don’t you make a concerted effort to save a deposit.

Alternatively if you can get 10% from anywhere you can get a “non genuine deposit” loan.
