Westpac 100%

Hi,

Westpac have just announced a new 100% loan for new purchases and constructions!

The LMI is a bit stiff at 3.16% for people who have owned a property before.

And, unfortuately, it can't be used for trusts or companies.

Cheers, Medine

And yes it comes with the usual Westpac Bank Top Service

Alternatively, you can always try one of the other 100% lenders someone like St George where there is no LMI but a DEF which works out to be cheaper.
 
What fully thought out business model includes 100% gearing on "general" property?

Apart from the Crow Eaters who believe (reasonably on the evidence) that Perth is a goer and us in NQ who also believe there is life in the old mining dog yet, so Townsville will power on; property "generally" is going nowhere.

Why go there? 10% return on an ungeared investment is still 10% profit. 2% on a 100% geared investment (property) is 10% loss.

Return on Capital was a principal ignored pre 2000 in the .com boom. It is a principal equally ignored during the property boom.

Absolutely nothing could convince me to borrow lotsa money on the principal of "It will all work out in the end!" If a spreadsheet, predicting no more than 3yrs ahead doesn't show a black bottom line (or a chart rapidly nearing the breakeven line) then I fall back back on another old mott: The deal of the year comes up every week.

Sorry should have read as LEF - Loan Extension Fee charged where LMI is not available but the Bank is till preapred to write the loan.

DEF - Deferred Establishment Fee
