The guy was simply putting up a proposal as a way to get into the housing market. This is an investment forum and people are supposed to learn things and get…[Read more]

sienna1 replied to the topic Anyone have experience with State Custodians Home loans in the forum Finance 15 years, 11 months ago
My question is really to those that have used them and their experience dealing with them. I generally like to ask this question with a lender i have not used before. I understand your take would be negative as they dont pay commission to finance brokers.
sienna1 replied to the topic Further Lodoc Changes in the forum Can you please explain that 15 years, 11 months ago
Can you please explain that a bit more.. im not sure why they would do that.. we split our loan 3 ways so we have an account for renovation, one for investing, one for the home loan. are you saying that St George are limiting their loans to what the house costs even when you are refinancing to use equity.
sienna1 replied to the topic would you fix your IR for 10yrs or more in the forum Finance 15 years, 12 months ago
