    Hi again.
    Wondering how much of the equity from one place will they let you use as a deposit and costs on another ?
    And will they do a lo doc using equity ?

    Cheers

    You can get 100% investment loans, so you may not need much equity – just enough to cover costs and Stamp Duty.

    But it is a good diea to have between 5-20% plus another 5% costs.

    A good strategy is to get access to the equity as another split loan and then to use this as deposit on a new proeprty, and keep the loans separate, avoiding cross collateralisation.

    105% is available for an investment property loan however the interest rate is slightly higher.

    Lodoc is certainly available for both PAYG and Self employed but would usually be used as a last option. Where possible try and always go with a fully verified loan until you can no longer satisfy the lenders requirements.

    Then either dependant on your cirumstances a nodoc or lodoc loan is always available.
