David is self-employed and has been running a plumbing business since 2015.
Two years ago he wanted to purchase a property to live in.
At the time, his ABN was only registered for one year and he didn't have his financials ready so he applied for a low doc loan.
He borrowed $500,000 to purchase a property valued at $625,000 at an interest rate of 4.9% per annum making principal and interest (P&I) repayments. He was paying $2,654 per month.
Having made perfect repayments over the past two years and built a successful business, David wanted to refinance and take some equity out to upgrade his car.
He could now provide two years worth of financials to apply for a full doc mortgage at a much sharper rate.
His current loan balance was $486,000 and his property value was $680,000, bringing his Loan to Value (LVR) to around 70%.
Cashing out $58,000 to purchase a new car, this brought his total LVR to 80%.
He approached his mortgage broker who was able to get him approved for a full doc loan.
David was able to provide two years tax returns for the company and personal plus two years Notice of Assessment.
His broker found a lender offering an interest rate of 3.69%.
After refinancing, his monthly repayments reduced to $2,501, saving him more than $150 per month or $1,800 per year.
