What is the LVR on loans?
The loan to value ratio (LVR) is the amount that the amount that is being lent, represented as a percentage of the value of the property being used as security for the loan. For example, if the value of the property is $1,000,000, we shall lend at a maximum of 66% of the value of the land for a first mortgage. Therefore, the loan cannot exceed $660,000. We provide loans with a maximum of 66% LVR for first mortgages and a maximum of 75% LVR for second mortgages.  

8
What type of interest can an investor expect?
Interest is varied depending on the type of loan the Borrower has requested and the relative risk to the investors.

9
How are the loans repaid?
The Borrowers repay their loans in many different ways. Most refinance their loan with another institution (ex. a bank). Others will use the proceeds of a sale to repay their loan.
10
What happens if the borrower defaults?
All of our loans are registered mortgages over the title to the relevant property and we will act on behalf of the investors to call up the loan and sell the security property if necessary. As we only lend to a maximum of 66% LVR for a first mortgage and 75% LVR for a second mortgage there is additional equity in the property to cover default interest and legal fees.
