What are my financing options with a Skilled Migrant Visa? I understand the FIRB stipulation but wonder how to organize a mortgage as a US citizen. I’d like to purchase in QLD since my visa term is 5yrs. I do plan to eventually become an AU citizen. Thanks!! :D
Hi Gen,
Thanks for your question.
The home loan options being offered to temporary Australian residents are typical mortgage packages that would be available to Australian citizens or permanent residents. The main difference being the cap on the amount you are allowed to borrow and the down payment that is required. Depending on your job circumstances you may be able to qualify for up to 90% of the value of the property.
You may compare your home loan options on this page.
Cheers,

Is it possible to buy investment property and lease back to myself

Why are lending institutions reluctant or are outright against lending for properties relating to student accommodation properties when the return is approximately 10% p/a near Bond university? There the students keep their accommodation as they do not have long periods between semesters.
Hi Herman,
thanks for the question.
Unfortunately lenders keep their lending criteria under wraps for the most part, but generally speaking some lenders view student accommodation as more of a risk because of its more limited usage when compared to a regular property. As always there are exceptions to this rule, so it’s always a good idea to speak to a mortgage broker, or at least approach more than one lender to see if you would be eligible for a loan.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
Is it always a bad idea to go with an investment property group to do everything for you?
(eg. IPGA )
Hi Irene,
thanks for the question.
This depends on a range of factors. Using an investment property group which is reputable and proven to deliver results can be a good way to enter in the market if you’re unsure of the process and not confident purchasing a property yourself. I’d recommend contacting a qualified financial advisor before joining any investment property group.
I hope this helps,
Marc.

Are you able to get a home loan in Australia for a Property in the UK? I live and work in Australia and have the opportunity to make a huge profit on a property in the UK.
Hello Bellaro,
thanks for the question.
An Australian lender won’t generally finance a property in another country. The other options you could consider would be using a line of credit obtained in Australia to finance it, or seeking finance in the country you wish to invest in. I’d strongly suggest speaking to a trusted financial advisor before carrying out any of these. Here’s some more information about investing in the UK.
Cheers,
Marc.
