Lenders who offer low doc 70% LVR loan with No LMI

There are only 2 major lenders who offer low doc 70% LVR with no LMI, and their policies differ from one another. However, some non conforming lenders also offer it using quite high interest rates.

The first major lender who offers this policy asks for Business Activity Statements (BAS’s) for the previous 4 quarters and profit and loss generated by internal management accounts like MYOB or even a spreadsheet. The internal accounts are to evidence there is a going to be a profit after all expenses. This is a cheaper option which is also more flexible in terms of how long you have been self employed.

The second major lender asks for an accountant’s letter to verify the income being declared by the borrower. This is the more expensive option, but this lender offers a construction loan immediately after settlement. this lender also offers a fixed rate home loan with a 100% offset account.

Advantages 70% LVR low doc with No LMI?

The 70% LVR Low Doc without LMI option could be useful for any of the following reasons:

  • The 70% LVR Low Doc No LMI policy is quite useful when you have not completed the most recent year’s tax returns and want to use 1 year financials or internal accounts to demonstrate servicing.
  • The policy is also useful to a borrower whose business in the last 12 months has significant increase in profitability and turnover from the previous year’s figures. Hence, as most lenders average the last 2 years trading income figures to derive an average income to be used to service the loan, this policy allows the higher year’s income figure to be used to assess affordability/serviceability instead. Averaging the 2 years trading figure can bring a borrower’s serviceability down. Using the 70% LVR Low Doc No LMI option, we use the most recent trading figures generated from internal management accounts which should reflect a higher income.
  • The 70% LVR Low Doc No LMI policy is also useful where you want to avoid paying LMI and you possibly have a valuation problem trying to refinance. For example if you had an existing low doc loan at 60%LVR where you tried to refinance and had a valuation shortfall, and you needed that little bit extra to leverage against without the need to pay LMI, then this policy is very helpful. In addition, as we avoid lenders mortgage insurance or LMI using this policy, we also avoid the mortgage insurer’s scrutiny of the loan which can make funding a loan at times difficult.
  • The 70% LVR Low Doc No LMI policy is quite useful for cash out purposes. Today most low doc loan lenders restrict cash out using low doc policy. Most lenders restrict cash out on low doc between $10,000 – $100,000. So for example, if you were to refinance your low doc loan to 70% LVR using the No LMI policy and part of this refinance involved taking $200,000 cash out, then that will not be an issue.
  • The 70%LVR Low Doc No LMI policy comes in handy when you refinance your business loans, commercial loans secured over your residential property and want to get residential home loan interest rates (commercial loans at home loan rates). This can save a borrower thousands of dollars each year onwards.
