Executive Summary

A single income family refinanced home loan to purchase their 1^stinvestment property and only paid an extra $50 per week in mortgage repayments. A tradie hoped to purchase his 1^st investment property but didn’t think he’d be able to as his family only had one income and as a tradie, cash flow was restricted. But after a loan review and restructure with Mortgage Corp they were able to purchase an investment and only pay an extra $50 per week.

Overview

Client: James and Robyn, Client of Mortgage Corp since 2013.

Marital status: married with 3 kids

Income: Single income approx. $90K per annum

Occupation: Employed tradesperson + stay at home mum

Suburb of home: Vermont, 3133 VIC

Suburb of investment: Wantirna, 3152 VIC

Objective: purchase their first investment property to set them up for their future

Client Background

James and his family wanted to set themselves up for the future by buying their first investment property. He was a tradesperson earning $90,000 a year, married with 3 kids, living in Vermont in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

James had always wanted to buy an investment property because he wanted to be able to maintain their lifestyle after retirement and also have some passive income (rental income) in the future.

With Robyn being a stay-at-home mum with 3 young kids, they didn’t think they could afford another property.

The Challenges

High interest rate on his existing mortgage was eating into his cash flow

He didn’t have enough deposit for an investment

He was a single-income earner with a large young family with a lot of financial responsibilities

Objectives

Buy an investment property with good rental income and long term growth

Reduce interest on the mortgage on his existing home

Be able to maintain their current lifestyle

The Solution:

Through a friend, James met Mortgage Corp, Mortgage Corp’s loan strategist. After the Free Loan Strategy Session, Mortgage Corp explained to James and Robyn how they would be able to buy an investment property through refinancing their home loan

We refinanced their existing home loan and reduced their interest rate by 1% (from 4.85% to 3.85%) through our access to premium broker rates.

We worked out that after refinancing, they could actually afford to buy an investment property and would only pay between $150 to $200 a month more than what they were already paying on their home loan. Whilst James was earning less than $100,000 and had a big family to support, he had family benefits to help him and it was also expected that the investment property he bought would generate around $550-$600 per week in rent.

We also assisted James find the right property with access to free property reports that gave him an indication of the likely value based on recent sales in the area, as well as information about the growth potential in the suburb.

Based on our property data, we suggested James to look at growing suburbs east of Melbourne CBD with good investment opportunities such as Ringwood, Wantirna, Ferntree Gully.

After a few inspections and enquiries, James and his family ended up focusing their search in Wantirna. Whilst not a very large suburb, our property reports showed that the Wantirna had a high number of older owner-occupier residences, mainly from the baby boomer generation who were parents of adult children and who were using their equity or capital growth in their home to help their children purchase their first homes. This was due to the high capital growth seen in the area since 2014, with growth of 14.1% in 2015, which saw average home prices in Wantirna rise from around $720,000 up to nearly $900,000.
