    Hi Mark

    Welcome aboard.

    Is there anything specifically wrong with your CBA loan apart from the rate?

    If it's the cheapest rate that you're after, you'll find the cheapest rates provided by online companies.

    Having said that – cheap doesn't (and rarely) equates to best and the company with the cheapest rate can become quite expensive in a short period of time.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Hi Mark

    As Jamie mentioned if you are merely chasing the lowest rate then good luck becuase next week it willl change again and you can go thru the same process. 

    When your Bank manager tells you that he is offering you the best loan out there ask him will he be your Bank Manager for the term of the loan or will he take promotion and ditch your account if it is offered. I think i know the answer.

    If you are looking too build a property portolfio then interest rate is not important as there are numerous other factors that investors should look for and a good independant mortgage broker should be able to help you with this.

    If you have a single PPOR and intend to stay there forever and a day stick with CBA, tell them you are going to leave as you can get a better rate round the corner and they will probably match it.

    Cheers

    thanks Richard, I am looking to stay with the one lender but someone who is generally cheaper. Perhaps im a little naive but a friend said that they are with NAB and find that they have been cheaper than the majors?

    No – it's a general statement.

    It all depends on the total borrowings, LVR, what you (or your broker) are able to negotiate and which bank is most hungry for business at the time.

    I understand that you're very rate sensitive (from this and other posts) – if rate is your primary reason for refinancing then it may be worthwhile looking outside of the majors.

    Cheers

    Hi Mark, it really depends on your loan amount, property value and features you require. if you dont mind providing that then we could provide some more accurate information. But generally heritage at 5.84%, suncorp at 5.88% or AMP at 5.90% is pretty good.

    Every bank provide different loan and all banks rates are different. I think you have to check all banks site so getting more clear about rates. All banks loan rates are different so you have to select some best loan rates.

    As had been posted previously rate is one part of the equasion and certainly wouldn’t suggest any serious investor merely focuses on rate alone as there are many other factors to consider.

    V8ghia still working on date for the Melbourbe night but will post it as soon as I have it confirmed.

    Cheers
