    Hi

    May I please check, from a serviceability standpoint, owning a commercial property through a ltd company name with 50% ownership through myself and 50% spouse if thks will this hurt my serviceability in the sense the company debt is treated 100% with me yet rental is treated as 50%? (similar to resi)

    Thanks

    with most lenders yes

    Worse still there is no gearing addback with most lenders.

    there are policies that exclude compnay asset laibs and income, like wbc, and can be swung eith other lenders, but will need policy exceptions.

    Sounds like u dont have a trusted banker/broker

    Suggest u get one ASAP

    ta

    Directors and sometimes shareholders will need to give a personal guarantee and with most lenders guarantees are treated as loans for serviceability
