One thing that is happening is that younger people are being exposed to more credit and the fall out of this is more people with impaired credit. People were then restricted in getting a home loan. Also in the past it was impossible for people that had just gone into business to get a home loan. If the business hits a speed bump, the business cashflow can suffer. The exact wrong time to ask you bank for a loan. These two examples are like trying to drive a car with your gaze solely on the rear view mirror. We think that is unfair, so in addition to the traditional home loans we also originate loans for the self employed and loans for people with bad credit. This was termed "Character" by the tradition bank guidelines. We realise that there are other reasons besides bad payment tendencies. That many people who would repay the loan have genuine reasons to miss payments. These include: - Cashflow problems caused by seasonal or economic factors
- Business failure
- Accident and injury.
- Illness
- Death of a partner
- Divorce and separation from a partner.
With this in mind we mainly look at building a case to originate the loan for the client, rather than look for an excuse not to lend. The major factors in qualifying for a bad credit loan are: - A willingness to repay the loan.
- An ability to repay the loan.
- A larger deposit or equity than normal to secure the loan.

This is a ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the size of the loan in dollars required compared to the value of the property that you are contemplating to buy. The value of the property is not what you think its worth, or what the market says its worth, or what a real estate agent says its worth. It is the value that a registered valuer says its worth for the purpose of obtaining a loan from a credit provider.

- Refinance to lower interest rates and keep on making the higher repayments.
- Make extra repayments, and don't make withdrawals on your loan.
- Buy a smaller, cheaper property to begin with, requiring a smaller loan, but make the repayments as if you bought the more expensive place.
- Get a loan or refinance into a loan with lower or no on-going fees and charges.
- If you are a good money manager, consolidate your debts into a line of credit, or a cocktail loan that includes a line of credit account and religiously pay out your credit card debt every month.
- If you are not a good money manager, [and if you are not paying out your credit card debt to a zero balance religiously every month, sorry, but you aren't], then get a "reducing line of credit" account that has a revolving line of credit period for part of the loan, then reverts to an amortising or normal "credit foncier, or amortisation line" of a normal 20 or 25 year loan and decide to get good at managing your money, or get a Australian Mortgage Exchange to manage your mortgage for you. This service will cost you, but not nearly as much as a poor or no debt management strategy will. Talk to a Australian Mortgage Exchange.
