    I know this is a bit similar to another topic on this forum about LVR and lodocs.
    I want (or think I want) a lodoc, no LMI, 70% at least, an offset account.
    I want to stash some $$ for a while and earn 7%.
    Does this make sense?
    Any suggestions anyone?
    Thank you in advance….

    Hi Giddo,

    How much is your loan amount, if it’s under $500k,
    call and try City bank. If over $500k, Try maquaire bank. Alternatively speak to Morgage Hunter. he is a mortgage broker, also a conributor of this forum.

    Cheers,
    herman

    Adelaide Bank is one that will go to 76% without LMI and still offer an offset.

    I believe you are in SE Qld so in Brisbane we use Greater Pacific one of the Bank’s resellers for the area and their rates are quiet competitive if you need to go that high.

    Citibank charge LMI over 60%.

    Cheers Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Citybank can offer lo-doc 80%, without LMI, up to $500k at present. Please check with your BDM. And please let me know if it does not.

    To clarify, with Citibank the LMI is applicable on lending over $500K on 1 security, however $500K plus on multiple securities should not attract an LMI premium. Cheers.

    I think it is really important to compare the rate when considering whether LMI will matter in the long run because some products have no LMI up to 80% (instead of above 60%) but they are at a higher interest rate – if you go with a lender such as ANZ or Bankwest they have excellent interest rates for low doc with 100% offset but they do charge LMI above 80% – as long as you are keeping the loan for longer than 12 months the interest rate should outweigh the LMI anyway. You really need to sit down with a broker to compare all the products available.

    hi giddo
    sorry to say this put for me its not the best place to stash money away in a bank account even at 7% cash is a very valuable item thats why banks love it look around for investments that give you alot more then 7% start to peel that envelope.
    real estate is for the long haul for me but not for cash, (equity for me).
    cash is short term investments and there are alot around put call on the ords will give you better then 7%.
    In any market cash is king so don’t put it in the lowest market put it in the highest unless it gives you leverage to purchase a item that knocks out a competitor.
    If you are cashed up in this market with a bull share market and a fallen real estate market with a futures market that is going left and right and commodities that change daily up or down this is the best market for any of them for cash.
    It also the best to learn as all wish there market to stabilise and the only way to do that is for investors to invest.
    real estate goes up, shares go down, shares go up, real estate goes down, some people hedge to cover these movements.
    look at hedging.
    you can hedge everything from wheat to car tyres and for that matter real estate.
    diversification is the key to any portfolio
    this is not advice nor should it be seen as such

    here to help
