Max, that bank is well known for this sort of thing. It happened to another client of ours with a farm. They just said you have ‘x days to repay your loan in full’, with no reason given. I htink he had a month or so!

I don’t think you are required to actually distribute the trust money, you just make a book entry. The beneficaries will have to declare what they ‘receive’ as income, and you will need an agreement with them that they give the money back to you.

There is still benefits if the ‘owners’ of a property are low income earners. Under certain…[Read more]

There are still plenty of ‘credit impaired’ people out there that will not qualify for low doc loans. These people have little choice but to go with lenders like GE Money who charge up to 10.65% for a 90% low doc loan. This makes paying 9% on a wrap look cheap! And wraps usually require a lot less dpeosit.

Hi Tom

You cannot cross securistise a wrapped property, so your equity level would not really matter to lenders unless you were refinancing htis property. If you were refinancing, then they would give you a loan based on current value, $100,000 in your example.

You can prove income from existing wraps by showing bank statements with regular deposits. If the lendder queries this, it could be backed up with your installment contract.

Actually, GE only allow 80% LVR in Cat 3 for low docs if it is owner occupied, not investment.

Must also be self employed for more than one year at time of application – for low docs.

The latest GE postcode list is available online at http://www.gemoney.com.au/Broker/docs/pl_PostCodes%20IX.xls

Freedomfighter, you would be looking at a rate of around 8.15% for a 80% LVR low doc with GE Money.

I’ll let you know how that application goes Steven.

There are some disadvantages to owning a property via a company. the major one is you will lose the 50% CGT discount. Look at trusts instead.

If each person has equity, they could draw down individually on that equity and you could form some sort of JV to do the project.

I would go for the tenant first, and get them to find a property with your help.

If you are after cashflow, then wraps maybe the way to go. But there are properties out there that provide cashflow and Growth.

Another point, it is going to be farily difficult to qualify for such a large personal loan.

as long as you have a tenant, it won’t really matter. in the long run things should improve, even if there is a dip. But this will effect equity, and will slow down your next purchases.

I am doing a cat 3 low doc at the moment with GE at 80%. Still not fully approved yet, but it seems the location is not a problem.

Banks won’t take into account income from renting rooms out. Your problem is mainly from being casual, so why don’t you ask your employer to make you full time. After the loan is approved, you could go back to casual if need be.

maybe La Trobe will do it. GE Money (not the mortgage insurer) would do 80% in this area.
