I am sure that Terry, Simon and I throw our hands up every single day of the week with stories like this.

They are all as bad as each other so dont worry.

Loan structuring is not rocket science but it is a unusual trade only practised by those with a degree of professionalism in the industry.

Bankers do not have this vision as they are solely…[Read more]

Hi pman

Nice try but regretfully not.

The ATO will apply the “purpose test” of the funds and if this is used to purchase a PPOR then they will disallow the interest claim.

You could always consider selling the IP to a HDT with you as the Trustee and then use the funds that you raise less the amount of the existing IP loan as deposit.

Only…[Read more]

They are mortgage managers and originators which mean most of their portfolio of loans are securitised.

Fine if that’s what you want but most property investor do not need to have every loan irrespective of the loan size mortgage insured.

I may have answered this question in another part of the forum but oh well it is another post on the board – lol.

You could capitalise the interest and try a lender that offers a lodoc / nodoc style of development loan.

Not the cheapest but we do them regularily.

Capitalise the interest and also go for a lodoc / nodoc commercial development loan.

A little higher rate but still very do able.

New 100% Shared Equity scheme coming soon – Email us for details.

One way of avoiding CGT is to make the same amount of contribution into your SMSF as you made in the way of Gross Profit on the sale of the IP.

Anything upto $1Mil this year you are fine.

Have several clients who are refinancing unencumbered homes to place the funds into Superannuation and then buy property in the Super Fund.

Hi Cathy

There is no right or wrong answer. What might be what you are looking for in a home loan maybe totally different to what another clients requires.

Each loan product has certain features whether it be cost, interest rate, on going fees, features within the product, the variables go on and on.

All i would say any lender that is an…[Read more]

I would argue 70% lodoc at 7.40% with no LMI is a reasonable interest rate.

BLT – Buy To Let and is very common in the UK.

The only problem is if you are not a resident or expat you may find getting a loan quiet difficult. The same goes for here in Australia if you are an overseas resident you are limited to 80% Max LVR and certain Government restructions through the FRIB legislation.

Try a couple of the bigger…[Read more]

I agree selling your PPOR (and i would do it if my wife would ever agree) may release some equity for you but using the equity in it and investing is exactly the same.

If you sold every time you need to free up capital then you would never get anywhere. Hence the Tax payable in the way of CGT is paid on the realised gain and not the…[Read more]

I only do it secured so it is easier to manage either as a Bridging loan or secured P/L.

Unsecured is too high risk as Terry mentioned.

I agree with Terry but think his figures maybe a little generous.

You could go to 95% on a refinance so only have 5% equity left in the property. If you sell the property you will loose that 5% in agents fees, advertising, legal fees etc etc.

Also make sure that your IP loan is not X collaralised with your PPOR as otherwise income maybe an issue…[Read more]

Hi Will

Armed with the additional information that it will be a PPOR then if you buy it in Trust and she occupies the property then she will loose the First Home Owners Stamp duty concession.

Why not lend her 20% deposit and let her do it as a lodoc / nodoc loan and keep the property in her name only or alternatively get her to look at the…[Read more]

See Dennis even Terry agrees with me that SGB might be the way to go although some LMI will be payable.

Adelaide Bank will go to 80% with no LMI payable and 76% with no LMI at all.

Duckster is correct unless you are licenced you are unable to provide advice to such a question.

Two suggestions:

1) Look at the new shared equity scheme. Borrow 100% although only make repayments on 80% of the loan.

Fees considerably reduced. You could utilise the FHOG and your savings to borrow 90% instead of 80% and enjoy more of the equity growth/

2) Take out a 100% loan with a lender who does not charge mortgage…[Read more]
