Re: Can I qualify for an investment loan?

Thank you so much for the information, Otto. I didn’t know depreciation claims could be so important. I might have overlooked it if I hadn’t consulted you. I still need to understand it better. I’ll contact you in the near future to discuss more on depreciation and other claims that I could be entitled to.

Re: Can I qualify for an investment loan?

Hello home loan experts,

I recently took out a loan to buy a building. One of my colleague was trying to explain to me about the depreciation on my building. I had never really thought about it. He mentioned that I could claim a percentage of the property price but he mentioned a small percentage, somewhere around 1-2%.

Can anyone explain to me the depreciation for my building? Is the small amount worth my time?

Re: Seeking a mortgage while on a business visa

Thanks for the info, Otto. However, I did not buy the business; it is a branch of an offshore business. Will that have any implication on my home loan application?

Seeking a mortgage while on a business visa

Hi home loan experts!

I own a small business in Sydney and have been in the country for almost two years on a business visa. My ultimate aim is to seek permanent residency and settle here for good. Therefore, I am thinking of buying my own house.

However, I do not know if I can get a mortgage in Australia since I am a foreigner. Could someone tell me if it is possible for me to get a home loan in Australia? Any relevant information would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Examples of some expenses that can be added back

Some lenders may offer low doc borrowers the same rates that full doc borrowers get? Wow! I’ll give you a call as soon as I can to learn more about this. Looking forward to speaking with you :D

Re: Examples of some expenses that can be added back

Hi,

I’m also self employed although it hasn’t even been a year since I transitioned from PAYG. I want to take out a mortgage to buy a home in Mitchell. I think I’ll be applying for a low doc loan so is there anything that I need to watch out for in such a loan?

Re: Can I apply for a home loan if I only work part time?

Hey, I also started out as a part time employee at my current workplace but my employer has offered me a full time job and has even agreed to increase my pay by a large percentage. I am planning to buy a house worth $500,000 and I need to borrow around 85% of the property value. Would the change in my employment status increase my chance of being approved for a home loan?

What about documents? What do I need to provide to the bank as a proof of bonus income?

Will bonus income be accepted by the bank?

Hi guys! I am planning on buying a house and I need to borrow money from the bank to complete the purchase. But I am worried that my loan will not be approved easily. Actually most of my income is earned through bonuses and I have heard that banks mostly only consider the base salary instead of the bonus income. If this is the case then my income will be much lower than what I in fact earn from my job. Are there any banks willing to accept the bonus income?

Re: How do I qualify for a 95% home loan?

Hi there, I would also like to borrow around 95%. A friend of mine was telling me that he had to pay high LMI fee when he applied for a high percentage if loan. Is there anything I can do at all to reduce my LMI or even possibly have it waived? If this is not possible then at least a discounted rate would be nice.
