Refinancing and LVR

Hi all

I'm refinancing my PPOR and investment property and wanted to ask for advice from people a lot smarter than me, aka everyone here!
When I refinanced a year ago I had my PPOR valued at $975k and borrowed $750k against it. That was in 3 splits which now stand at $513k, $190k and $31k. Paying P&I, and nothing left in offset.

My investment property loan is $632k and property was purchased for $790k one year ago. Interest only on this loan.

I have a very good offer from one of the big 4 and want to refinance and pull out the equity. PPOR is now valued at $1.1 and investment around $900k.

Would like advice on how to structure the loan, and also if I should go up to 90% LVR as the bank will not charge any LMI up to 90%, and interest rate is 3.99% on both loans!

Appreciate any advice on this or if anyone is happy to chat privately let me know!

thanks
Ben

 

go up to 90% on both and make sure they are separate securities, not crossed.

 

That is a great offer. 90% no LMI at 3.99. Take it.

Set up a separate investment split against your O/O for the additional equity thats available. Best to have access to it for future investing.

Don't cross both the loans.

So it should look something like this (actual amounts depend on vals):

• PPOR loans, As is, secured only by your PPOR.
• Investment LOC/Split - for remaining equity available against your PPOR.
• Investment loan - As is, lower rate. Secured only by the investment.
• Investment LOC/Split - for remaining equity, available, against your Investment.

Depending on your plans, discipline and goals, and if the option is available to you, potentially I/O repayments on the O/O loan, with extra repayments done via the offset account.

Cheers,

Hi Ben, are you like the head doctor of the St Vincent's or something? Very good offer 90% no MI and 3.99%

 

Keep in mind the tax aspects too.. Dont increase existing loans but get new splits

 

Sound like a great deal. Can you share which of the Big 4?

 

thanks all!!
And unfortunately not open to public, I work for said bank and they have a staff deal going on where they will match or beat your current home loan with about 9 other banks. I was about to refinance with BOQ at 3.99 when this deal came up and to my surprise they matched it, and the 90% LVR is an added bonus!

 

Ohhh yes the old staff discount with no FBT implications as was on offer in the market. Smart

 

Hi all (again), I got my loan offers and valuations back:

Property 1 owned in my name only, bank valued at $1.15mil, loan offer $800k
Property 2 in both names (me + fiance), $925k bank valuation and loan offer $830k

Interest only on both loans

Property 1 has 3 splits owing, $511k, $189k, $31k (currently P&I)
Property 2 interest only $632k

So what would be the best way to structure the loans?

Thanks again
Ben

 

This is a bit of a vague question and you should seek specific tax advice and credit advice to answer it.

 

Hi Terry

Can I be more specific or give more info? I got a few answers after my initial post so I thought the valuations and the loan offers would be the final piece of information needed to get an idea of loan structure?

Property 1 loan will increase from 731k (511 + 189 + 31), up to 800k
Property 2 loan will increase from 632k to 830k

At a guess,
Property 1, would I be best to keep the 3 splits on the original loan and have a new split of $69k
Property 2, would I split into 2 and have the original 632k and a new split of 198k?

I'm moving from 2 different banks to one new one (if that makes a difference).. What else would I need to take in to consideration?

Cheers
