Hi All,
I have arranged for an application form to be sent to me for a pre approval with IMB Insurance.
I'm told that they take 90% of the rent into consideration.They also qualify your application on their current interest rate,being 6.5% at present.
Any one had dealings with them?
Bye Shelly R

The IMB (Illawarra Building Society) is not new. They have been around for a long time and have branches throughout the South Coast of NSW. Within the last few years they have opened branches in Sydney as well (not many of them though).

I don't have any loans with them, but I believe they are just as good (or bad) as any other Building Society.

I got my first home loan from them back in 1978. (OLD GEE CEE)
$19000 for purchase of a $23000 house.
(My dad thought I was MAAAD.


I think they are much the same as most lenders but of late I have found that if the figures do not add up to what the computer says then there is no negotiating.

Last loan I applied for they wanted a mortgage on everything.

Yet ANZ & National just required the property being re-mortgaged as collateral.

This was 2 yrs back so things may have changed.

WHO KNOWS?
There may even be loans officers that can do more than read a computer screen.

P.S. Thank goodness they had people and not just computers back in 1978!!

Do you still have that 1978 house?

How much would it be worth now (whether you have it or not)?

And an unrelated question.

I'm fuming because a relative offered a 3 BR townhouse in Wollongong (your stamping ground?) for $60K for an extremely quick settlement. Not sure of which part of the gong- but it sounded like a good deal to me. Or was it?

$60k nowdays would not buy you a third of a block of land.

I sold the 1978 home to my sister about 6 yrs ago for $110k. This was so I could buy a block of 5 townhouses at $400k.

(Fortunately townhouses have a large railway interchange going in about 600metres away. Electric trains just commissioned & new City Centre , Picture Theatres , Rester aunts & shopping centres about 1klm away. (Should get the $400k back if I sold them !!)

She has rented it since, done hardly any work to it and it would sell for around $ 250k as a bulldozer job.

Nice block of land 700sqm with lake views.
