    Hi Guys
    Just a couple quick questions:

    1. Is there a disadvantage financially in having a loan in Aust for a property in NZ?

    2. Can a broker with experience in LODOC loans and investing in NZ please contact me.

    Many thanks

    Judi

    The major issue might be currency fluctuations making the loan greater than the property value, however it can also go the other way and the AUD and NZD are historically closely tied I have found.

    Hi Judi,
    I have property in NZ.
    I have chosen to lend an amount of money to my trust. the trust then uses this as deposits on the properties, and I borrow the balance in NZ. The majority of debt (80% initially of purchase price) is in NZ where the property is – thereby minimising my exposure to currency fluctuations.

    Lending in Australia may also potentially take longer to get approval for finance when you purchase a property – allow two weeks finance clause in your contracts – in some areas, valuers have a long lag time to get to you as they are so busy.

    Cheers
