5 Things The Banks Don't Want You To Know About Your Investment Property Mortgages

Banks and insurance companies have been often accused of hiding relevant information from a deserving public. These accusations are not altogether baseless and malicious.  In fact, the financial markets as a whole have proved in the recent past that they have an inherent tendency to present half truths especially if and when it suits their stance. This is what can more accurately be described as a confidence crisis or a moral crisis. 

In Australia, America and most of Europe, there is an ongoing debate on the standard form contracts that are “imposed” by banks on customers. All embody the wrongful presumption that acceptance by the public signifies the fulfillment of all the necessary elements of the law of contract.

Let us, take a look at the issues that the banks don’t want you to know about when it comes to your investment property with 6 piece of solid property investing advice ...

# Security Over Property and its Realization 

Foreclosures have hit nearly every part of the world and Australia is no exception.  Peter Overton, a real estate commentator while on a trip in SpanosPark and Brookside Estates observed that the mortgage meltdown will hit and hit hard. The question to ask oneself is whether people fully understand the impact of losing their investment property at the time when they are buying. 

While a clear answer may not be clear cut to a most people at this point, most bankers know a lot about it but are reluctant to make their knowledge public. With their desire to gain more, banks have failed to inform people about the effective measures they can implement against potential defaulters.

# High Interest Rates Applied to Mortgages 

With the exception of reverse mortgages which are for the protection of senior members of the society, all other mortgages attract very high interest rates. Banks have successfully camouflaged these rates through splitting or clustering them in miscellaneous provisions and sub provisions.  The effect of this has been a financial crisis that has hit the whole banking industry and is threatening to tear the global economy.  You may be aware that this will be traced to sub prime mortgages.

# Shifting of Professional Fees to Borrowers 

The cost of completing property transactions is usually very high.  Banking institutions have effectively designed means of transferring the costs that should otherwise have been borne by them to unsuspecting consumers.  Costs that you can look out for include legal, quantity survey and accountancy services.  When these are transferred to the borrowers they limit their ability to maximize their investment.

 # Selling of Defective Property 

When selling foreclosed property, bankers may never inform the purchasers of the weaknesses that will be part of the property.  For example, banks have a higher ability to determine the risks attached to a particular property, especially liquidity risk.  A bank will never disclose such information to buyers since it will jeopardize its chance of realizing the security.  It is in your interest to conduct a personal due diligence search in order for you to determine the true market value of the property on auction.

 #  The Myth of 100% Financed Mortgages 

Just like interest rates which will usually have exaggerated hidden costs, banks that offer a total financing of your property investment may have more than meets the eye.  It is advisable to go through the details of such proposals before committing your funds to a certain investment property.
