Can anyone recomend an agent in or around Woodridge for me?

So at the weekend a new home in our street went for an obscene price. If we were to do the same, that is knock down our house, build a big new house there and then sell it, are there any tax implications? We wouldnt be living in the new property at all, however the land (and the old house)...

Rams is now doing Low Doc loans to 80% LVR without LMI. Interesting development when the rest of the market seems to be going the other way with risk and pricing etc..... I wonder if this will be shortlived, or if other lenders will follow?

Sad day. Adelaide bank now restricts their LVR to 95% inclusive of LMI. Seems its now only bankwest that capitalises LMI above 97%. Interestingly Rams recently changed their maximum to 98.5%. Shame, I was writing alot of adelaide bank thru mortgage managers and getting the credit...

http://matusikmissive.com.au/2014/04/06/6926/ Following on from some posts about the bikes and the new law in Queensland, we have an opinion piece by a mildly known property commentator and estate agent. Shame he didnt do any research into the piece apart from listening to 3AW or 2UE. If...

Submitted my first 'loan change request (non credit critical) form today. lets see if it is really as easy as they are trying to make out..... I must say Ive had an awful time with ANZ assessment recently, getting an odd shopping list with every submission. It'd be lovely for this new...

theres been a few threads on this topic. Recent article went thorugh some of the numbers, and an interesting quote from Peter Costello, which was cute... Work for a living and we’ll tax you at close to 50 cents in the dollar; speculate and we'll only take 25 cents. Not only that but, as a...

A question for the brokers out there. With reserve rates now close to where they were during the GFC, banks will be passing on variable interest rate cuts (hopefully) and also cut their 'servicing' or plug rates they use for assessment of capacity. Apart from ING, who have a 'floor'...

Id like to get some feedback and suggestions on a little scheme Im trying to hatch. We have 3 kids, and the family car, a 7 seat Zafira is on its last legs. We would like to get a new car (or nearly new), but Id really like to avoid paying for it! At least with after tax dollars. Had a bit...

The builder I work for has a client who had great dificulty getting a loan. He has about 30 credit enquiries made in his name (he says it wasnt him) when he first came to australia. He got the deal done, much to my surprise at 80% and settled the land, and has approval for the construction...

I'm not clever enough to put the link up, but there was an interesting article whose headlines were on the cover of this weekends AFR. The article went into depth about the new credit reporting regime, (moving from a negative to positive model) which has already been signed off by governement...

Just thought I'd share a recent conversation I had with an ANZ LMI assessor yesterday. It was a major shock, no wonder their turnaruond times are 2 weeks. I work for a major builder in Melbourne, most of my clients are first home buyers, and almost all are building because they dont have the...
