    Hi again

    I will assume that you still need to look at a lodoc style loan and on this basis the maximum lvr will be 80%.

    From the current equity position o think you are going to be extremely limited on what you can and cannot buy.

    Based on the fact that you can access circa $65K equity and assuming you will need around $15,000 to cover your stamp duty ect then you will be limited to a maximum purchase price of $200,000.

    Of course if your income figures can now be verified then it would be different.
