Rick Otton on How to Buy Property Without Needing A New Bank Loan or Large Deposit
(PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- “One lesson that Aussies should take away from the global financial crisis is that it’s about time to stop relying solely on new home loans just to get into the property market,” said Rick Otton, the man who introduced creative real estate strategies in Australia.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ August 2013 data on home mortgage lending found that only 13.7 percent of new loans were issued to first home buyers, compared to 28.4 percent in 2009. Financial Review also reported on 14 October 2013 that the number of new mortgage loans have been on a decline for the last 4 months.
“The chances of first home buyers to get approved for a home loan have greatly dropped after the global financial crisis. The truth is that the banks have less money to lend to loan applicants, that’s why they applied stricter qualifications for people who are applying for new home loans,” according to Mr. Otton in a recent interview for his Newcastle property event.
“Aside from that, those who do qualify for a loan are faced with the challenge of saving up a large amount of deposit or down payment for the new loan they applied for, and this might take a long time to finish given that house prices are going up faster than rise of regular pay,” he added.
“With these kinds of odds stacked against the home buyer it’s not a surprise that a lot of first home buyers, who keep on using the traditional process, are locked out of the housing market right now,” he said.
Mr. Otton recommends first home buyers learn and use creative real estate strategies when purchasing Newcastle real estate. He also explains that it not necessary to apply for a new home loan or save up for a large amount of deposit.
“What the data says is that new home loans are hard to come by, but it doesn’t mean that all loans are out for reach for home buyers. With the help of a creative strategy called ‘Sandwich Lease option’ they can still use old loans as the keys to their first Newcastle property by simply substituting the seller in making the payments on the loan they have,” Mr. Otton shared.
