Can you please do a video on the interest rates associated with using equity? Every video I've watched make it sound like you just get this free equity to go towards another place but they don't talk about the actual cost of using that equity which is in the form of interest repayments (from what I can tell...) any info on this would be appreciated!
Hi @Michele Lim, thanks for the suggestion. Will put it on the pad 😊 With equity, just think of it as a home loan. Therefore, if you borrow 100% of a property that's worth $500,000. Then your loan amount would be $500,000 even if it was split in two portions, say $400,000 and $100,000. The interest rate on both loans would be the same (if it's with the same lender, rates can differ if they're with two different banks). Hope this makes sense and helps 😊
So, referring to that example in the video, the equity from property #1 essentially allows you to borrow more to cover the deposit etc. for property #2. So, you would still pay interest on the $100k loan from property #1 and interest on the $1.1m for property #2 $300k equity + $800k loan). Is this correct?
What about ensuring the loan is positively geared? Yeah you can take out equity but if the rental return isn’t covering the mortgage of $1m then it ain’t a wise investment. You’ll just drown in debt
Simple and to the point - love your videos! What if the outstanding loan is nearly 80% of the property value, any chance that bank still fund? What other best options to pursue?
Hey Siva, thanks so much for watching! Yes it is possible - depends how much cash/savings you have to contribute. There are certain circumstances where the bank will let you go above 80% but then you will pay HEAPS of LMI so it doesn't usually work out financially. Happy to run the numbers in your situation to see what works - hit me up at huntergalloway.com.au Cheers, Jayden.
Awesome video, I just purchased my first home in Melbourne using most of your helpful and informative videos as guidance throughout the process, now I'm learning on how to move onto a second house as an investment down the track. Just a question, if I release equity from my first home for a deposit for a second house in the near future - there is interest right? and I would have to get another loan to pay off the rest of the property, so that is two loans with interest for 1 house? Thanks
Man I still don't get the equity equation explanation.. ahhhhh so frustrating.. plays with my head... Is the equity the amount I owe already on the property??? Can someone please workout this scenario for me? My house is currently valued at $600K. My mortgage loan is $270K. My house was bought 4 years ago at $300K with a $30K 10% deposit.. over the 4 years my loan is now down to $250K from $270K.. Whats my Equity now?
Thanks Feta, the equity is calculated based off the property value at the lenders maximum lend which is 80% or 90% of the property value less the current lending owing.
Apologies if this has been asked before but how do I know how much can I get as loan for the next property. In your example in the video, how do we know that the person can afford a second property worth $ 1m? Because if I got this right, the person will have to pay out $100k from the first property (existing loan)+$800k from the second loan. Thats considerably more than the $100k of the initial loan and before they buy the first property. Technically they have 300k of equity from the first property which can be used against the second property, but still its a lot more: $100k+$800-$300 = $600k. Is this correct? In all examples (including those on the website) I found that the total loan value (property 1+2) has materially increased. sorry if its a silly question.
Hi Steve, yes the $100,000 (existing loan) will either stay as is or be refinanced. Based on the property being worth $500,000 at 80% the maximum loan they can leverage is $400,000. So for this property, they've leveraged the $300,000 in equity they can access and as such have put it towards their new purchase. For the purpose of this video we just focused in on the equity position. Rather than complicating things with responsible lending requirements, servicing, eligibility and all the rest which comes along with the lending landscape. In total it will be $100,000 + $300,000 + $800,000. With new lendings being $300,000 and $800,000 (in total $1,100,000). This is what's used for the purchase of the $1,000,000 property. No problems at all, hope this answers your question.
So just to confirm using equity in my home to borrow 100% of the value of an investment property isn't the same as cross collaterlisation? Why would the bank set it up that way if it's bad? If I am using equity for to borrow 100% of a property (not cross-collaterlsiation), does this have implications if I want to buy a third property in the future?
Hey Edward, you can have the properties structured as stand alone - or completely seperate. Think of it like having each property at a different bank - You can borrow the 20% deposit (assuming you have equity) against your original home. And then you can borrow 80% against the new investment property - in effect borrowing 100%! Cheers, Jayden.
Does it make a difference when using equity to buy my next house if I don’t actually owe anything on the house I live in. I own the house I live in outright.
So what happens if you can't pay the 2nd house? Do you now lose the first one too Cause you leveraged the 300k equity in that property to buy the 2nd property? Or as long as you can pay the 300k + 100k for the first property, you are good even if you lose the 2nd property (can't pay it)
Hey Ria, yeah potentially if they are cross collatoralised so you want to try to stay under your limit - more info www.huntergalloway.com.au/cross-collateralized/
I am confused about the equity and if you "unlock it " does it become another loan to pay or is it imaginary and that if you don't make the payments the bank takes 1 or both houses repossessed?? I own 2 houses and I was thinking rent can pay for anything new " ?
Thanks James, some good questions and might be best to check out this video that also explains it in more details ruclips.net/video/mp0iwG9ly_Y/видео.html
Hi my daughter bought her 1st home 7 months ago but wants to buy a 2nd home with the gift I gave her of $30,000 is it wise for her to go to 1st lender she used or can she go to a different lender for the 2nd home? Will the 2nd lender verify info from the 1st lender or is it kept private. I'm asking because I don't want the two mortgages combined. I want seperate payment. Will the original lender verify all her info again?

Seeking some advice please. I am wanting to buy a second home to move into. The first home is rented out. The first house was valued at 110,000 and I owe 84k on it. The new house will be valued between 100000 and 110k. Could I get a 100% mortgage using the equity alone?
Hi @Shirley, based on these figures depending on the specific details you'll have between $12,000 - $15,000 available in equity (this is for your home valued at $110,000). Hope this helps :)
Great video. How to extract equity if one already used up his salary to service the existing loan repayment? we need rental income to secure the equity loan approval? If it is the case, how to get the loan for the next property, seems the bank is reluctant to lend money for the rent reliant investment.
Thanks for watching Michael, this is a tricky one. As the banks will require to see an ability to repay the funds borrowed. Totally agreed with you, the banks can be super conservative.
Great informative video! Couple questions; What about leveraging equity to build a second property? is this possible? as i assume the only reason you're able to get the loan for the second home will be the rental income to make the repayments. also once you have your second property without anymore equity in either home you would be at a stand still for your third wouldn't you? is there the option of loaning 90% equity on property one and two leaving 20% for the bank? assuming doing this would generate enough equity to get a deposit for the third?
Hey Jason, yeah great question. Its completely fine to leverage equity from your first property to build a second property. When you are construction a property, although it might take 6-9 months to build the bank does the calculations on your end financial position - i.e. you'll move into that newly built place in 6-9 months time, and rent out the old property so that is fine. You can also look at doing LMI on say the old property, so say lending 90% against your 1st home and then only borrowing 80% against the new purchase/construction.
Yeah the banks generally have this as their default position - its also less work for them, they put it all onto the 1 application rather than having to do 2 seperate applications. More work for the bank = better outcome for you.
Great video! I have a question - Would it work in my favour to leverage equity from two seperate investment properties to buy a third investment property outright or better to leverage equity from one investment property and get a loan for the rest? Any tips appreciated. I’m currently seeking a top up against both investment loans to purchase the 3rd place outright - Is this wise or silly ?
Hi Anthony. Great to hear that you enjoyed the video! Let's dive into your question about leveraging equity from your investment properties. Leveraging equity from multiple properties to buy a third investment property outright can be a feasible strategy, but it's essential to weigh the pros and cons.

It spreads the risk, which may be beneficial in the long run. Interest Rates: Check the interest rates and terms offered by lenders for both scenarios.

Does this mean there will be 3x active loans - the 100k, 300k and the new loan for the 800k? Is this applicable for commercial property investment? My mortgage broker was proposing to combine the old and new loan into one but your explanation makes sense though. 😊
Have a question my wife's parents are looking at giving us a gift to buy a second home and we are looking at renting this out to the parents which will be their retirement property we have only just moved in to our own home 7 months ago. Do you think we would be eligible in buying the second home?
Hey Kieron, yeah potentially there is no worries with the gifted funds going towards your deposit it will just be a matter of looking at your borrowing capacity and making sure your income is enough to support the second loan - get in touch with our brokers and we can crunch the numbers for you www.huntergalloway.com.au/free-assessment/
I am thinking of switching to a fixed rate loan for my house. If I do this, does this complicate things regarding using the equity in my home to borrow 100% of the investment property?
Hey Edward, yes and no. Yes in the sense if you are fixed for say 3 years, and after 2 years you want to withdraw the equity from the property - you may be tied to your current bank as there would still be 1 year left on your fixed rate. So if your current bank (hypothetically) gives you a poor valuation on your home in 2 years time, and gives you less equity it could restrict your choices for your future investment... Or you can refinance to another bank that gives you a better valuation but need to pay fixed break costs. Cheers, Jayden.

Just pretend the current value is 80% of actual. Then minus the outstanding balance of ur loan = equity

Hi Anthony. Great to hear that you enjoyed the video! Let's dive into your question about leveraging equity from your investment properties.
Leveraging equity from multiple properties to buy a third investment property outright can be a feasible strategy, but it's essential to weigh the pros and cons. Here are some tips to consider:
Diversification: Using equity from two separate properties can provide you with diversification across your investment portfolio. It spreads the risk, which may be beneficial in the long run.
Interest Rates: Check the interest rates and terms offered by lenders for both scenarios. If getting a loan for the rest of the purchase results in more favorable interest rates, it might be a cost-effective option.
Cash Flow: Analyze the potential cash flow from the new property. Depending on your current cash flow situation and the rental income from the new property, it could impact your financial stability.
Loan Terms: Understand the loan terms for the top-up against both investment loans. Sometimes, these top-ups may come with different terms than a regular mortgage.
Future Plans: Consider your future investment plans. Will this purchase align with your long-term goals, or are there other investment opportunities you want to explore?
Professional Advice: Consult with a mortgage broker or financial advisor who understands your specific financial situation and can offer tailored advice.
