Not much happening today so I do a boring Tuesday topic, how much you are owing and what's your mortgage rates on your PPOR and IP?

Here is mine:

IP owing $176k paying 6.84% (Ouch)
PPOR owing $235k paying 6.14% (Also Ouch)

Update:

After seeing some of the rates people are getting I called both of my bank today and was able to get good reductions without any resistance

My PPOR is now on 5.84%, a reduction of 0.30%

My IP has now dropped from 6.84% to 6.29%, a reduction of 0.55%

In total my yearly savings sits at $1100 for both reductions with just 2 simple calls lasting 20 mins.

Thanks for those who contributed to this forum.

    Time to call your bank and ask for a reduction. ING knocked me down 0.50 after a 10 minute call just by asking. Then of course the following week the RBA pushed them up again. But still, worth asking.

      i asked in the app, and ING reduced mine by 0.8 this was about 2 months ago

    • Aerith-Waifu on 18/07/2023 - 19:15

      Indeed I will, my IP is with Bankwest.

    • The Wololo Wombat on 21/07/2023 - 13:23

      The RBA, responding to the Government's management of global economic conditions, pushed them up again.

      That's impressive. However, OP only has baby debt accounts and OP has an investment property so they are set. Doing so well, you're wayyyyy ahead of the rest of us, great work!

    I went in last week looking at an IP loan. NAB offered me 5.89%. If you're no sub 6, need to shop around.

    Also need to budget for 2 more rate rises. The banks are.

    • Aerith-Waifu on 18/07/2023 - 19:11

      IP loan at 5.89% sounds really good, I will dig around

    • Makaveli99 on 26/07/2023 - 19:46

      Do u have a bank contact, hard to get that rate. I was with NAB

        We went through Jomanda Wong at Gouger St in Adelaide. She was very plain speaking and willing to work our not so straightforward requirements around the investments (4 ppl guarantor, 2 IPs, 2 owners, 2 equity property, maximising FHBG and stamp duty concessions).
        We very much like knowing precisely where we stand with a bank, no smoke blowing 🌬

  • JVHifi on 18/07/2023 - 17:23

    PPOR $260k @ 5.84%
    IP $370k @ 5.84%

    • Aerith-Waifu on 18/07/2023 - 19:05

      Which bank? 5.84% on IP sounds really low

      • Happyd on 18/07/2023 - 21:14

        I’m assuming lower LVR?

        • JVHifi on 19/07/2023 - 15:23

          Check out ME Bank. My father is a broker and explained they offer PPOR and IP at the PPOR rate when the properties are combined. I switched to them in 2019 when I bought my IP and have had the same rate on both properties since then. Initial LVR was just over 70%

            @SlickMick: Mate, what can I say, I didn’t go and check the website but just stated the rate I’m on as that’s what you asked. Yes, I believe the term may be cross-collaterised but it works for me. Regarding fees and rates, it’s all negotiable if you call up and ask. I call up once a year at least to drop my rate and waive the package fee of $395.

            Anyway, good luck with your refinance as I’m sure it must be hard to fit it in to your ultra busy schedule lol

              Apparently smiley faces aren't accepted as light-hearted digs here.

              So are you saying you are on 5.84% & no fee with ME Bank?
              I'm so sorry, I totally missed that.

              • JVHifi on 22/07/2023 - 14:04

                @SlickMick: All good. Maybe you meant that comment in a different manner but it didn’t come across in the best light. Yep, that’s the rate I’m on now and no fee for now, but I can’t guarantee you’d also get the same deal from them. Still I shared just in case it may help someone else get a similar deal. They seem to still have a $4k cashback deal going too

    • whorishmouth on 22/07/2023 - 17:34

      I had a CBA VLOC for about 17 years, my interest rate in March 2023 was at 8.33%. Phone call knocked it down to 7.44% and then RBA did 3 more quarter percent so it would of topped out at 8.19%, I say 'would of' because I bailed for a re-finance. Your 9.8% is ridiculous - problem is your negotiating power may be zilch since it's paid off - but I still think you should try to lower it, cant hurt. Do you have the MAV package attached? That usually lowers it a bit (but then you're paying a yearly fee for nothing if you don't draw on it). But as you say, good for when you need quick cash.

                  @WhyAmICommenting: I've got 160k in cash (currently earning 5.5% interest with BoQ future saver). Hoping bringing my mortgage down to ~$350k will mean we don't feel the rate rise as much.

                  @WhyAmICommenting: Hahaha same actually! My broker kept saying the variable might go down at the time too but I prefer certainty.

                  Still blows my mind locking in a fixed rate in USA for the full life of the mortgage.

        Love to hear how others went with loan hopping. Good in theory, but not easy to execute.

        My 4K cashback landed with a recent refinance. Tried refinance to another 4K cashback after two months, two banks have rejected my request because I'm seen as a cashback collector.

        • k15866 on 21/07/2023 - 00:02

          I've been doing annually for last 3-4 years, no problems. My broker says he gets commission at 1 yr and 2yr anniversary . so maybe you could try somewhere in between 2 months and 1 year

        • burningrage on 21/07/2023 - 09:54

          Who is still doing $4k these days? BoM/WBC which had the largest rebate had pared down their offering to $2k I think.

          I might go back to HSBC again after 2 years. Hopefully interest rate would have been lower by then.

      That’s what I was thinking, if it’s too much ouch, sell IP, pay off PPOR, look to other investments with whatever is left. Hopefully IP has increased in value since it was purchased. Presumably there’s also in income stream from IP.
