19.01.2022 May 27, 2015 Why banks reject finance The rate cuts Australias currently experiencing are having a huge effect on what people are able to borrow. Its especially good for first homebuyers and investors who may be able to buy properties now that they couldnt afford six months ago with higher interest rates.... BY RYAN CRAWFORD However, just because you can borrow more doesnt necessarily mean the bank will approve your loan application. There are many reasons your loan may be refused. A lender may turn down a loan application even if the financial side of the loan stacks up. Here are the main reasons I see loans being refused and my tips on improving your chances of being accepted: * You have credit report defaults or a low credit score Missed or late bills and repayments will show on your credit file and these can adversely affect your chances of getting a home loan. Ensure your bills are paid on time and resolve past disputes quickly. You can also check your credit file using services such as Veda Advantage. * The lender may believe you wont be able to afford repayments based on your financials Lenders examine your income, living expenses, and other financial commitments to evaluate how much they think you can afford to borrow. Work out how much you think you can afford and create a budget to see how much of your income is available to meet home loan repayments. There are some great tools and calculators online to assist with this. * You dont have adequate savings in your bank accounts You might have your deposit covered as well as enough income to meet your monthly repayments, but the lender might still say no based on your savings history. Demonstrate to the lender that youre capable of managing your finances and meeting commitments with a savings plan. * You dont have an adequate deposit or equity Lenders have minimum deposit requirements and depending on the property and application you may be required to have more. Ask your lender what size deposit theyre looking for before you apply for the loan. This will help with your savings and identify the type and cost of property you can afford. * The property itself, for various reasons, is deemed too high-risk Property criteria can affect your application, such as the area the property is located (for example, some banks wont lend in certain regional areas) or small building size apartments. Check with your lender that the property youre interested in is acceptable for a loan. The bottom line is, when applying for a loan you need to have all your financial information up to date. Apply once youre prepared and be clear about your investment goals and projections for the next three to five years. Show the lender that youve given a lot of thought to purchasing your next investment property and how you intend to manage it.

12.01.2022 July 17, 2015 House prices 30% undervalued: RBA researcher Australian house prices are 30 per cent undervalued, the widest such gap in three decades, according to Reserve Bank senior research manager Peter Tulip. ... crawfordBY MICHAEL YARDNEY That statements going to create some controversy. Delivering the preliminary research results to a session on housing at the Australian Conference of Economists in Brisbane recently, and stressing that they should be attributed to him and not the bank, Tulip said that whereas a year ago home prices were fairly valued, today theyre about 30 per cent undervalued. Its all to do with interest rates The change has been brought about by much lower mortgage rates and by changes in bond prices that imply mortgage rates will hug their present historic lows for a further decade. The latest CoreLogic RP Data figures show that nationally property values are up 10 per cent over the last year, with Sydney house prices having climbed 16.2 per cent and Melbourne property prices 10.2 per cent Despite this, Tulip and his co-author Ryan Fox argue that rising prices say nothing about whether home ownership is good value compared with the alternative, which is renting. He told the session: We find that owning a house costs 30 per cent less than renting. That is, houses are 30 per cent undervalued. Another way of interpreting our results is to look at the expectations underpinning current house prices. Our results suggest that those expectations currently look fairly reasonable. They do not show unusual optimism, they do not show irrational exuberance. But this hasnt always been the case. Just one year ago when we last published results, we found that houses were fairly valued that is, the cost of buying was about the same as the cost of renting. What has changed since then is that real long-term interest rates have fallen substantially. That fall made housing more attractive relative to renting, despite the increase in prices. Its cheaper to buy than rent Tulip said the annual cost of renting was likely to be 3.9 per cent of the propertys value, compared with 2.7 for owning. His research compared the cost of renting and buying identical properties, avoiding the common error of comparing national average rents with national average prices. Because owned homes are typically bigger and nicer than rented homes, a lot of the apparent price difference reflects a quality difference. They calculated the annual cost of a bought home from the purchase price, the transaction cost, the expected mortgage rate and the running and depreciation costs offset by expected capital gains. My thoughts The research shows that owning a house is 30 per cent cheaper than renting but that doesnt mean that houses are 30 per cent undervalued. It is, however, another nail in the coffin of those waiting for the property bubble to burst.

09.01.2022 January 27, 2016 Owner-occupier activity up, investor activity & FHB down Lending figures confirm a continuing increase in owner-occupier lending while investor activity has declined, according to housing finance figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for November 2015.... In more sobering news, the figures also show a fall in the proportion of first-time homebuyers in the market. The number of first homebuyer commitments as a percentage of total owner-occupied housing finance commitments fell to 14.9 per cent in November 2015 from 15.0 per cent in October, its lowest proportion since June 2004. This highlights the difficulty many Australians face in buying their first home, Amanda Watt, act.s head of banking business, says. First homebuyers are pulling out of the market, with the proportion of buyers well down on its highs of around 30 per cent in 2009. With property prices very high in some cities, especially in Sydney and Melbourne, this is stopping young Australians from taking a home loan and entering the property market, Watt says. The average loan size for first homebuyers fell $1,000 to $354,500. The average loan size for all owner-occupied housing commitments increased $3,700 to $386,100. It appears that demand for housing from investors is cooling due to the steps taken by Australian regulators to stem demand. This could work to take pressure off property prices this year, opening the way for more first-time buyers to make their first home purchase, Watt says. The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) says the figures show, in trend terms, that the number of owner-occupied finance commitments increased by 0.8 per cent. This increase is the same as for the previous two months. If refinancing is excluded, in trend terms for November the number of owner-occupied finance commitments increased by 0.5 per cent the 17th consecutive month of increases. REIA president Neville Sanders says increases were recorded in all states except Western Australia and Queensland, with the Northern Territory having the largest increase of 2.9 per cent. The largest decrease was recorded in WA, which was down 0.4 per cent. In trend terms, the number of new dwellings purchase commitments increased by 0.4 per cent while new dwelling construction increased by 1.1 per cent and the purchase of established dwellings increased by 0.8 per cent, he says.

02.01.2022 TAX TIPS & TRICKS Despite tighter lending rules, property investors are still entering the Australian property market. Unfortunately, not everyone is knowledgeable on the tax deductions that they are supposed to enjoy on their property investments. H&R Blocks Mark Chapman offers some valuable tax tips to the first-time investor:... Tax deductions. Investors can claim tax deductions on various investment-related costs, including interest on borrowed funds, borrowing costs incurred in arranging finance, bank charges for bank accounts managing investment income, management fees, home office costs, subscriptions to investment-related journals, obtaining tax advice, and travel costs associated with investments. Sales income. Capital gains tax is charged for the sale of investments including shares held for long-term gain. If investments are retained for more than 12 months, you have access to a 50% discount. Interest or dividends earned from those assets are taxed as ordinary income. Dividend reinvestment plans. Dividends are included in your assessable income for tax purposes even though you never saw any cash. Credit refunds. If you have less than $18,200 taxable income and you receive franked dividends, you can claim a refund of the franking credits paid on the dividends you received. Foreign income. Income from foreign investment assets is still taxable in Australia. However, you may be entitled to a credit against your Australian tax for any foreign tax paid. Losses. Annual income losses due to negative gearing can be offset against annual income.
