Hi,
This is my first post so I hope it works out ok! I am also very new to the property investment game, and am still trying to get my head around it all, especially the finance side of things...
We are applying for finance via a MB for our 2 IPs. Our first IP (previously our PPOR, currently with a P & I loan) is valued at 480K (owe 120K), and the second just bought for 360K, borrowing 100% + costs.
We have asked the MB to recommend finance requesting interest only loans, that are not cross collatorallised, with a LOC and offset acc. against the 1st IP.
The MB has recommended the CBA Mortgage advantage loan, with the associated concessions etc. He says he uses CBA for 70% of his loans - does this mean he is getting a better commission from them?
After doing a search of this forum, there isnt much good to read about CBA, esp. customer service. The big banks seem to have reasonably similar products, in terms of rates/discounts...How would you rate the CBA package itself, as compared to others such as the ANZ breakfree, Westpac premium etc and why?
Thanks for your thoughts, Nards
