With the RBNZ signalling that changes to the LVR are on the way, all the major banks have introduced a maximum LVR of 60% for all new property investment loans. The media has been quick to hype up the situation, but Mike is here to set the facts straight!
With the constant speculation surrounding the Official Cash Rate (OCR) and talk of income caps on home loans, it looks like the banks will be moving to self-regulate before the Government decides to step in. Looking at recent trends, you can see the writing on the wall.
Mike has hit the headlines with a great story about Ryan Daum, one of our recent clients. Ryan made a few sacrifices to put down a $50,000 deposit on a three-bedroom Papakura home which sold for $510,000. Find out what sacrifices he made to climb on to the property ladder.
The Reserve Bank has made a surprise cut to official interest rates, cutting the OCR from 2.5% to 2.25%. Although further cuts were always likely, today's cuts caught many commentators by surprise, with the majority predicting any cuts would not come until later in the year. Read Mike's advice about how to make the cuts work in your favour.
