    Hi Hwd007
    What LVR are you looking at?
    If you were to go to 80% that would mean only $10k more but if you wanted to go to 90%LVR that would give you an extra $80k, but then you have added costs including mortgage insurance.
    Hope this helps!

    I agree with Rstar.

    You haven’t indicated any income, so it is a bit hard to estimate.

    Generally you can borrow up to 80% LVR with not too many hassles. However 700,000 x 80% = $560,000. You already owe $550,000 so that is just $10,000. If you can service it, you could go to 90% = $80,000 extra.

    Using this as 20% deposits, you could get roughly $320,000.

    Thanks Terry and RSTARR

    My bank says loan servicing is not the problem. I’m on 59K salary

    So I can only borrow $80K ? or that’s my equity ? and I can borrow 4 times $80K = $320K

    OK So if I plug in more optimistic figures I get this.

    Value 750K owe 550K Thus 750K *.80 = 600K

    600K – 550K leaves LVR at 50K so 90% loan would be 400K ? that I could borrow ?

    cheers

    Ok @ 80% you can borrow $10,000. You can use this to pay for 20% plus costs. Therefore, purchase $40,000 of property (or $42,000 including costs).

    @85% you can borrow $45,000. You can use this to pay for 20% plus costs. Therefore, purchase $180,000 of property (or $189,000 including costs). (financing new purchase at 85% as well)

    @90% you can borrow $80,000. You can use this to pay for 20% plus costs. Therefore, purchase $533,000 of property (or $560,000 including costs). (financing new purchase at 90% as well)

    I hope that helps.

    Cheers

    Hwd007,
    please also keep in mind, lending is not all about LVR but also about serviceability.
    Experience shows that while you may be at the end of your serviceability with one bank another bank may stil give you a loan.

    Yours sincerely

    The Gospel according to seminars and books I have read, is that

    banks look at three things – credit history, equity, and income/liabilities.
    Banks calculate that you can afford 30 percent of your income on repayments. The LVR goes down (in their favour) in steps as you borrow more (like over 500K and over 1 million.).
    If you are borrowing to purchase a cashflow positive investment that works after costs on an 80 percent vacancy rate, they don’t look at your income.

    cheers-

    that makes some sense, but how do you prove that the proposed property is cash positive ? rent ?

    The banks must also look at the assets true market value

    Well whatever value the banks decides I guess, as they are the ones giving the nod.

    Perhaps I could have used more appropriate words, but the bottom line is that even with adeqtate equity, serviceability and other issues, obviously the banks also consider the estimated value of the property in determining the eligability of the loan request.

    This is how my bank lender worked it out;

    How much I can borrow as at 1 August 2003

    Assuming Estimated Bank Market Values;

    PPOR $250K

    IP 1 $280K

    IP 2 $240K

    Total Assets $770K

    80% Asset Value $616K

    Loan Debt $554K

    Equity $62K representing your 20% holding of the loan.

    Borrowing Capacity = 62K*5 = $310K

    Thus effectively about $300K plus Stamp Duty and legal and other Acquisition costs.
