    [:(][:(][:(]
    Well I am sitting here at my desk at the moment and I am not feeling very good. I just had a call from the mortgage broker who told me the sad news that I won’t be able to borrow more money to do my next deal because of my low income. As most of the people that have read my posts know I have about 30k equity or more in my current place. SO WHAT NOW? do I sell the place and just do quick cash deal or do I find a new job and wait 6 months and get another loan and just build from there. I really don’t like the idea of putting myself back 6 months…I can’t stand the idea of waiting around. I want to make this happen but not sure how. What a good present for the weekend this is for me….[:(]

    Cornel, is that the next deal that you have found and trying to finance, or just a ‘potential’ next deal?

    Did they factor in the rental that you would get?

    Might be time to look for an income partner if that is the case that you cannot borrow. Or sit back and start saving some dollars. There’s nothing says you absolutely have to buy in the next 30 days.

    Cheers

    Hi Cornel

    What about doing JV with some one. Who got income but no equity.

    Cheers

    Guru – Snap!

    What is it ‘smart minds think alike’ or some such quote? And please nobody feel inclined to give the ‘other’ side of that quote.

    Simon, there is definitely that option, and we have done that in the past.

    I didn’t offer it as I didn’t know how good the current one was, but I guess another opinion will not hurt either way.

    Cheers

    Just reread my post and it comes accross a bit smart arsed.

    I meant that different brokers have access to different products and some are more skilled in areas that others might not be. I have no doubt your broker is v.capable but a fresh look wouldn’t hurt.

    There are a number of solutions out there and it really is worth while just being sure that you really have hit the limit.

    I speak to people who have been rejected by one lender or one broker and really believe that they have hit the end. It is often not the case.

    but don’t they all work with the same banks and the same figures and interest rates and stuff like that….?

    It is true they all work with mostly the same major lenders.

    It isn’t only the rates either. Lenders have different serviceability models too which see one lender being able to lend a person up to double what another lender may think is their limit.

    We all have access to different smaller lenders. Noone could have all the possible lenders on their panel and know them all well enough to do them justice.

    I’m not trying to give you false hope here. Just suggesting getting a fresh opinion.

    Cornel, I can definitely recommend dropping Simon an email with your details. He’s got a lot of information that he shares for free, and it’s better for you offline than on here open to the world.

    Don’t worry Cornel, I’m in the same boat – except I found out this morning that my loans have been declined – and were in fact declined LAST MONTH!!

    Soooooooo not happy Jan!!

    Simon, I’ve got Jason on the case, so I think I’ll be right – thanks for putting me on to him![:)]

    By all means Cornel. Not promising anything but we can take a look and see if I can come up with any different lenders for you.

    Have a great weekend.

    Cornel,

    Email me, I have cash in the bank, good cash flow but little experience – we may be two halves of a complimentary pair

    Cheers, Tom

    Hey Cornel,

    how ya doing man? hey ask your dad if he is interested in going in jointnames on the loan (and this way you can still have the property in just your name), or ask him if he can be the guarantor of your loan.

    Anyway man hows are things going? Are you on holidays yet, also do you remember the last subject we did at Russo with John Waterman, if you can, did you ever make a copy of the software and programs we used?

    cheers man

    hey cornel,

    i believe looking at some other mortage agents and other banks would really help. Not all banks deal with their clients the same way. I was in such situation 2 months back, and given my non-residency status and not an income earner ( JV with dad who works overseas ) we had some difficulty satisfying the bank due to the FIRB restriction that was passed down on us. Big Banks like ANZ, NaB, CBa and others view ours a bit as being a bit edgy, as the clause that we can’t sell the land without first building on it, scares them miles away from us.

    anyway, persistence does pays off as i track other mortage agents, and some from the forum too.. and finally i manage to get 2 banks that would approve. One requires a power of attorney, another willingly without any conditions or restriction, and just 2 days ago, i found out that this bank, BankWest doesn’t charge any monthly ongoing fees as well, not to mention the lower interest rate in comparison to the other banks that i’ve tried initially. Customer Service was good as well. So i’m a happy boi :)

    So Cornel, just don’t give up, i’m sure there are banks that will accept you. You’re a resident and you earn in AUD in Australia. I was in a worst position and if i can pull if off, i’m sure you could too :)

    Good LUck All the best,

    Cheers,

    Kev
