    to increase yield

    If they paid it as a regular part of the weekly or monthly amount yes it could work but if it's a separate amount paid sporadically then no. I also think some states don't allow it either.

    Issues with broker

    With the same lender usually only if there is a new loan account number created. This could be the result of internally refinancing such as splitting a loan into part variable part fixed. Or the lender directly increasing the loan and changing the loan account that way. It's not meant to...

    1) Many lenders ie nab, Macquarie, firstmac have a hard lvr cap at 90% so 88% + lmi will generally keep you under that. 2) lmi is considerably cheaper at 88% than 90%. Often a $3-4k saving on average size loan. 3) some lenders price better if lvr is under 90%.

    Becoming a Mortgage Broker?

    You are taking about becoming a lender and the markets would want the loans all nicely packaged up BEFORE offering the funding wouldn't they. I'm not sure I can see a way to do that considering all your clients would be with different lenders etc etc etc. You would need serious volume too.

    If you can manage at 80% do that but would say if in any doubt do 88% + lmi on the IP's to start with and work back to 80% if you hit a road block.

    residential investment loans at call

    If you read the loan offers fully they all say they can change anything about your loan without your consent. So really you are going off trust and the fact that there is competition for your business. Problem is what happens in a really bad downturn.

    With Westpac group now using the new player it makes for a perfect storm for them. Jacking up premiums by 100% since 2008 was plain old profiteering and collusion so maybe they are getting what they deserve.

    Lenders covering Refinance Fees?

    I will sometimes offer to cover $1000 independent of the new lender but only if it is fairly hefty loan amount in total and I like the borrower ;)

    Agree with everything but this.. rents would rise in such a scenario as sellers became renters.
