Things are changing. 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.

Saved deposits demonstrate the following:
- Character and self-reliance
- Money management skills.
- Resistance to temptation.
- Goal orientation
- A willingness to sacrifice in the present for a
future outcome.
Non saved deposits in the form
of gifts from parents tend to suggest reliance on others and a lack
of real commitment to own property.
For this reason mortgage
insurers want a bigger safety margin built in the mortgage.

Being declined will show on your credit file. This
is why you should never apply at several lenders at once. They all
show on your credit file. We can get a loan through by repackaging
the application and presenting it in a manner than will be accepted.
However we can't help people who trash their credit report by
constantly shooting off applications. If you want it done properly,
let us handle it for you.

This would depend on all the
factors. Once you are back on your feet we can often get prime loans

their credit profile improved then move them to a lower interest
rate.

Of course. The worst the file the less chance of
getting prime rate loans and the higher the interest rate is likely
to be.
We will try to get you the lowest rate we can, or
move you to a lower rate as soon as we can.

Yes. When you refinance and
consolidate your other debts, you substantially reduce your monthly
credit bills. By applying this to your mortgage, or even part of it
will dramatically reduce the term and interest you would pay on your
existing arrangement.

Yes. We have several options that you can
consider. The best time to invest in property is when nobody else
is, and when a lot are getting out, as this reduces the price.

Yes we can. We don't recommend that you buy cars
in this way, unless you intend to pay down the mortgage as if you
were paying off the car with extra repayments. This will reduce your
mortgage faster.

L.V.R. is an abbreviation of Loan to Value Ratio.
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.
To calculate the loan to value ratio you divide
the loan value by the value of the property, and multiply the result
by 100 to obtain the percentage.

A D.S.R. is the abbreviation for debt to service
ratio. This is ratio expressed as a percentage to determine an
applicants ability to repay the loan requested. All Banks and
lenders have different methods and formulas to calculate this
calculation, but as a rule of thumb your total debt repayment should
not exceed 35% of your gross income, for a single income, or 30%
where two incomes are taken into consideration.
Also as another rule of thumb, your total debt
should not be more than three times your income.

This term is seldom used these days. Honeymoon
rates are introductory rates set artificially low to attract
first time clients. We suggest that you understand all the
implications of these, especially when it comes to early exists,
before you say its a good deal for you. Sometimes honeymoon rates
are only 6 months long. When you take a 25 year mortgage that means
you have 24 years and six months at a higher rate!

Mortgage Insurance is a single premium insurance
policy to protect the lender in the event that you don't meet your
repayments due to unforeseen circumstances. The borrower has to pay
this premium. Some lenders will waive this requirement if the LVR is
less than 80%. The higher the loan LVR, the higher the
rate to cover for the added risk of sustaining a loss by the
Insurer.

There are only 7 ways that I know that will work.
- Get a better paying job, but don't buy a bigger
home.
- 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.

You may have to get a loan with higher
interest rates for a year to 3 years to rebuild your credit rating.
You are then in a position to get a more favourable loan once this
happens. The best rule is don't put yourself in a position that will
cause the bad credit rating in the first place. Easier said than
done wouldn't you say?

Because our associates work on your behalf, not
the Bank's or other credit providers that we source funds from. With
a Australian Mortgage Exchange associate, our customers come first.
- Sure you might be the kind of qualified person
that can walk into any lender and get a loan. But if we're
talking $100,000 loan, and if we can save you one half of one
percent, that's around a $10,000 plus saving!
Any time you take out a loan, the lender has
to make four decisions.
- Does this applicant meet our lending
criteria?
- What risk factor should we allow for?
- What mark-up do we require to cover costs
and make a profit?
- Is our loan book over balanced at present
with one particular type of lender, and if so how shall we
deal with it?
The answers to those four simple questions can
be different both for different borrowers and for the same
borrower from different institutions, and at different times.
Its horses for courses. We know how to put you on the inside
track, no matter what your situation, and that means savings to
you. The Answer to the last question can mean the difference
between a yes and a no from a credit provider.
We know where the best deals are today, and we
know they move around a lot.
