    Being on mortgage title of previous house, fhog prob?

    From his memory, he only went into the bank and signed the mortgage papers to add him on the mortgage, but he did not do anything other than this - to be added to the land title wouldn't he have to take other steps? His brother is trying to find the land title documents...

    How do you calculate available equity?

    Silly question i know, but it's the first time i will be accessing equity in my 2 IP's. How do you work out what the banks will release? I know they will only lend up to 90%...but is that of the available equity of the entire property value? For example, in one property the valuation has...

    Using IP as Security to purchase PPOR

    My strategy is to buy and hold long term..we would be looking to release the security relationship as soon as we have 20% equity in the PPOR...which essentially would be once we purchase it as we will have a 20% deposit...so really, it seems like a means to get the mortgage and then after a few...

    Using IP as Security to purchase PPOR

    How does this work? Our MB has explained that we will stay with the current lenders for my two IP'S but the new lender for the PPOR will ask for the investment properties as security for the new purchase. Once we have equity of at least 20% in PPOR, the bank can then remove the security...

    Go in as first home buyers or bite the bullet and pay Stamp Duty?

    Wow, that's interesting- we have been told that even if we have 10% deposit, he needs to show genuine savings...if what you have said is true, then then this is super news! Do you know which lenders (or is it all of them!?!?) are willing to lend on 10%+ deposit without genuine savings??

    Go in as first home buyers or bite the bullet and pay Stamp Duty?

    My fiancee and I want to buy our first PPOR together. To pay or not to pay SD: I have 2 IP'S. I already accessed the FHOG several years ago for one of these properties which is now an IP.
