Great site ! I have enjoyed reading the posts and given the enormous amount of wisdom that seems to be floating around feel that this forum could contain some answers to a rather frustrating problem.
I am 27 years old, born and raised in Sydney and have been working in New York for the last 4 years. After all expenses, taxes and outgoings, I can save AUD$30,000 per month. Given the job I am in then all going well I could be saving AUD$50,000 per month in 2 years. I have no personal debts, don't overspend on luxuries and believe I have a very good saving record. 7 months ago I "discovered" that wealth creation through property is alot easier, less stressful and certainly more fun. I have therefore been using cash savings to put deposits on a number of units in Sydney with a 70-80% leverage.
Here is my frustration. I would like to get 90% interest only loan from a lender for loans ranging from AUD$250,000 to AUD$325,000 - but after approaching most of the financial institutions have been rejected. The best I can get is 80% interest only ! The reasons vary from a pathetic "its the bank's policy that the borrower has to be in Australia" to "it may be difficult for the bank to serve notice on you if you are in default".
I just fail to see how I am a risk factor. Sure bank policy is flexible? I have never defaulted on any debt and as I said have a good savings record. I don't want to use 70 -80% leverage if 90% is available. I would greatly appreciate if anyone has any similar experiences, or knows of a bank manager/financial institution who would be willing to consider my case and be flexible. Thanks
