    This article appeared today in the SMH. It suggests that NRAS properties, serviced apartments and student accomodation are getting harder to finance.

    Studios, on the other hand seem to become more acceptable as security.

    Has anyone experienced this with NRAS properties?

    Yes I saw that article. Looked into it, but haven’t gone further.
    That would defeat the purpose of the scheme if the banks wont finance it.

    hello,

    I saw that articel also. I am also keen to understand the pros and cons of NRAS better. if the banks don't lend that is generally not a good sign.

    It’s really only CBA and NAB and some another banks that don’t have a policy “yet” for NRSA purchase, however another banks including St George, Westpac, first mac and ANZ just to name few who will still do it….so i won’t say it’s the the end for NRSA it just haven’t “picked up yet”

    NRAS at 90% has been doable since inception of the scheme.

    Serviced apartments and student accomadation are a different kettle of fish but if the rest of the deal is of the right quality miracles can be worked.

    Cheers
