Short video by Aaron Whybrow explaining strategies to handle shared home loans (e.g., between a spouse and siblings) to improve serviceability for subsequent property purchases. He outlines three approaches: increase household income, have the co-borrowers’ identities/incomes verified so lenders treat the common debt as reducible, or choose a different lender with more favourable servicing rules.
Home loans out of the primary relationship and how we can deal with those. Hey, it's Aaron. I'm just going to go through a little bit of detail of how we can get out of the issue of having a loan with a brother or sister and say that you are married as well. How do we deal with that and get a next level of borrowing or the next home purchase? So a couple of things. We may have a home that is our house. Okay. Then we have an investment property. We'll call it imv. This is owned by, say we've got a husband and wife and we'll just go female applicant, male applicant. Okay, let's say that the female applicant is here and they have a brother or sister, bro, sister who own this place. And then you've got this relationship that owns this place. How do we get around such a requirement when you want this part wants to go out and say buy another investment property? Well, a couple of ways we can do it. We could take the income from here, the income from here minus the liabilities and see how it goes. The problem is we have to take into account this one as a liability and typically we have to use 100% of the debt and say it's the female applicant and the brother and sister. We have to take 50% off the rent so that we have 100% of the debt and 50% of the rental income. So the bit of predicament here. So how do we get around this? Well, there's a couple of ways. Two One, we've already talked about by trying to hold all debt the other way. So holding all debt. And number two is that some lenders actually accommodate this via what we call a common debt reducer. So how does a common debt reducer go? If we were to come back up to the brother and sister and if we approve their identity ID and income and asset position, this would allow us to decrease that to 50% which in turn when we come over to assessing the liabilities and the income. I did that the wrong way around. But anyway, income and the liabilities for the next purchase, it has a much better chance at passing serviceability. So this is a way that we can get around the complicated factors of having a loan with say a brother and sister and then you've got a husband and wife at the same time and how they can go forward to buy something different. There is one last topic that you can help is that we could use a different lender that accommodates better servicing. But we'll probably address that a little bit more in a different video, but that can help as well. So there's three ways we can deal with this. This way you need lots of income. This way we prove the other party. And this way we choose the best bank. So there's three ways to get out of an issue with trouble with serviceability. When you have, say, the wife has one loan with the brother and sister and then they want to buy something else. So hopefully this helps you guys.
