  • For the investment IO variable, should one of the rates say <$500k?

    • Hi shifty909, the rates in the description are the most competitive for each option they have available. The bundle rate requires you to submit OO & INV securities, whilst the non-bundle rate can be obtained with stand-alone security.

      Best <$500k Investment Variable IO rates are 2.79% (2.84% comp) pa when bundled with OO & Investment security, or 2.99% (3.04% comp) when standalone.

  • nb question… what does it mean "1.79% Fixed 2 Years"? What happens after you have the loan for 2 years?

    • +1

      HI bp1984, after the fixed term the rate would revert to an ongoing variable rate which is currently 2.59% pa (at this time, we could also help you look at submitting a discretionary pricing request, re-fixing, or refinancing).

  • I applied for a credit card with Virgin once and got knocked back on serviceability (I think that is the only time that has ever happened to me). Discussions here at the time suggested that Virgin were harsher than banks when assessing applications. Does anyone know if this the case now?

    • Hi Ozimodo, that may have been the case with credit cards, but we've actually found BoQ and Virgin (Virgin is part of the BoQ group) to be quite generous with serviceability; generally offering a higher maximum loan amount than any of the major banks for most customers. Let us know if you'd like us to check your borrowing power for you.

  • Whats the best variable rate on owner occupied these days

    • Best variable we are seeing from a bank lender with cashback lately is BoQ - they are offering 1.98% pa with a $3k refinance cashback for <70% LVR Owner Occ loans (2.03% pa for <80% LVR). $450 upfront and $10 pm ongoing fees.

      • What about loans.com.au?

        • They don't use brokers, they also have a reputation for rate creep

  • Any advice on getting a loan for a tenant to buy my house (which is only $130k), so real house prices, not eastern states prices.

    I have had tenants in the past wanting to buy, but they all say "they can't get a loan" due to needing a too large deposit, poor savings record etc.

    However, the repayments on such a small loan would be less than the rent they pay currently. So they have a perfect rental payment record for a few years, which shows they could service the loan.

    Love to get them off the rental roundabout, and do me a favour at the same time.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of loans for people with small deposits etc, or products where someone can gift a deposit or something like that.

    • Hi tunzafun001, several lenders will accept rental ledger in lieu of genuine savings for higher LVR loans with LMI (eg Nab, CBA, Bank Australia, Beyond Bank, My State); but some of the majors tend to maintain strict credit scoring for higher LVR loans).

      Before looking at LMI, I would recommend first looking at the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme, where eligible first home buyers can borrow up to 95% of a property's purchase price without needing to pay LMI via a Government Incentive.
      - CBA, Nab, Mystate, Auswide Bank all offer these loans but there are limited spaces that become available every 6 months to 1 year.

      Alternatively, if they have parents with a property they could look at borrowing through any of the big 4 banks with a family pledge / security guarantee to avoid LMI.

      Finally, there are a number of lenders offering 85% LVR lending with no LMI (eg 86 400, St George for First Home Buyers, BoQ, Citibank) and Bluestone goes all the way to 90% LVR lending with no LMI.

      • Any deals on 10% deposit?

        • Hi bennybaubles; yep Bluestone will do 90% LVR, no LMI lending, so you just have to pay deposit plus closing costs (eg stamp duty on purchase) - however I believe the rate is around 3% pa for owner occ.

          Several lenders will also do 90% LVR, no LMI lending for medical professionals, accountants, solicitors, engineers.

      • Cheers. So in summary, the very minimum would be a 5% deposit / collateral?

        • Unless they have relatives to provide additional security, yes. If they can get a family pledge/security guarantee, they potentially wouldn't need any deposit.

  • Do you do construction loans for 3 townhouses on a single property?

    • Hy jerryd, yes - we actually have several lenders who can look at this; please reach out if you'd like to speak to a broker to find the best option for what you are looking to do.

  • Is the 3K cashback also available for new purchases?

  • I had applied directly through virgin money a couple of weeks ago and have been unconditionally approved already. Is that a special rate of 1.79%? Because the best I can get is 1.98% 2 year fixed… so how can I get that?! Thanks

  • Hi OP, is there any split option available with cashbask option?
