How can I get a larger home?
By using an EFM in conjunction with a traditional home loan, you can afford to purchase up to a 25% more expensive property (subject to all the necessary credit approvals and compliance with the guidelines set out in this website)! The following example explains how…
An EFM could be used to enable Jenny and Matt to purchase a bigger house in a better suburb to accommodate their growing family.
They know that they would have approximately $75,000 of equity from the sale of their existing apartment - enough to cover the purchase costs and still have a $50,000 deposit to put towards their purchase.
Jenny and Matt can afford to borrow $375,000 using a traditional home loan making repayments of $2,845 per month. This would allow them to purchase a home for $425,000.
But by adding an EFM, they can purchase a 25% more expensive home and make the same monthly loan repayments that they would have made on the smaller property. And remember, when using a 20% EFM, Jenny and Matt will keep 60% of the growth on their 25% bigger home, which is akin to 75% of the gains on a smaller property.
Here’s how:
Traditional mortgage only
| Property value: |
$425,000
|
|
| Deposit: |
$50,000
|
|
| Traditional home loan (88% of property value): |
$375,000
|
|
| Lenders Mortgage Insurance premium: |
$5,172
|
|
| Monthly repayment required: |
$2,845
|
Adding an EFM for a more expensive property
| Property value: |
$531,000
|
|
| Deposit: |
$50,000
|
|
| Need to fund: |
$481,000
|
|
| EFM loan percentage (20% of property value): |
$106,000
|
|
| Traditional home loan (71% of property value): |
$375,000
|
|
| Lenders Mortgage Insurance premium: |
$6,175
|
|
| Monthly repayment required: |
$2,845
|
Adding an EFM allows the purchase of a 25% more expensive home.
The illustration above shows that by using an EFM in conjunction with a traditional home loan, Jenny and Matt have been able to purchase a 25% more expensive home worth $531,000 with the the same monthly loan repayments that they would have been making on a $425,000 property.
As we explained earlier, instead of charging a regular interest rate on the EFM, the lender is entitled to share in a minority of the capital gains on your property, as determined when you choose to repay the EFM.
We strongly recommend that you obtain independent legal and financial advice in relation to this EFM loan prior to entering into the EFM loan contract.
