For your purpose i would say Option 1 makes more sense, and if done correctly it shouldn’t be tied up.

Depends on your risk tolerance and if you can “afford” to take that sort of risk.

Sorry to say; some trust sounds like the perfect “investors” trust but most of them are either not acceptable by banks and the ATO! due to the fact they have to many restriction and “what if” .
Sometimes keeping it simple and going with a simple trust that “works” and does what it does is the best solution.
Having said that; i have never had a…[Read more]

Well if it’s 0.9% with Westpac then stay….yes their SVR is slightly higher- so the rate is still higher then ANZ etc…but for such a small loan and small diff in rate it’s not worth the change; financially.

If a broker ONLY deals with the Big 4 banks and the more “main stream ” banks, i can tell you; THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE in this market place. Clients situation can change quite a bit…and we need banks that can match the client’s needs as it changes… and sometimes this means going to credit union , smaller banks , non-conforming , international…[Read more]

Good luck with Westpac or CBA- they have ~28%+share of the residential market each!!! so they are big enough not to care about one or two loans…especially high LVR and low loan amount clients.
I’d say take the 0.05%- then 2 month later complain again and get another 0.05%.- it be hard to get a straight 0.1% whack given your high LVR because…[Read more]

Why Rams?? they won’t help with “serviceability” issues; they are however a lender that offers a range of low-doc products including 80% LVR, accountants letter only etc….but that won’t help in your case- sounds like your broker is firing blank shoots.
