    Anyone with experience dealing with Resimac? They are offering some good rrates for a refi on my ppor but I am used to dealing with banks so just wondering...should I be watching out for anything in particular? Given they are smaller are they more likely to be lifting rates out of cycle?

    They are very understated and I use them a lot. They have an excellent product for owner occupied and interest only combo lending.

    Unlike other lenders they lend on security purpose rather than loan purpose. So if you have an owner occupied property thats paid off - you can do an equity release for the purposes of purchasing an investment and you get a rate of 4.19% even for interest only.

    They have rather mediocre servicing (which is very much inline with the other players) but overall a decent product offering.

    They can't handle overly complicated securities (serviced apartments, multiple dwellings on a single title, etc).

    They definitely have my tick of approval.

    Don't bother using them for SMSF. Good for lo - doc loans and self employed.

    Cheers Ivan

    They have good rate for PPOR and investment. Servicing is a lot tighter though, in my case, I estimate around 250-300k less borrowing power than with NAB.
