    how to calculate equity

    Correct me if im wrong - but I belive in the OP's situation inregard to LMI you only need to "top up" the LMI to the new value. So you dont need to pay the FULL lmi on the new valuation. New LMI figure - LMI previously paid = $your contribution :)

    3x or 4x Townhouse?

    Drawing down the equity not an option? The depreciation on the new places would be worth hanging onto for a few years wouldnt it?

    "Investment" FYI: you only need to topup the LMI to the new loan value, not pay it all over again. Good Luck :)

    How does a FHB purchase from auction?

    I have a friend and I'm worried about her !

    Wow epic thread. At the start I was of the opinion, their kids, their problem. But obviously in reallife its a little more difficult. After reading the arguments I'll have to agree about reporting them. Its either the kids are social misfits or youve got a heavy continence.

    How broke have you been?

    It'll happen one day. Its fair enough to be pessamistic up until that day though :p Id rather run the risk rather than go back to her and always be wishing things were 'how they used to be' to me thats more punishment then flushing the years we were together down the toilet. Start fresh...
