In the previous post: We talked about choosing a building block for your kit home and what to keep in mind when designing your kit home . Some believe that the Colosseum was financed by a raid on King Herod’s temple. Luckily kit home owners have it a bit easier today with 2 popular financing options available to them. Despite all the power they had, Roman emperors still had to find a way to finance all the great structures they desired. The Colosseum’s construction, for instance, is rumoured to have been financed by a raid of King Herod’s Temple in Jerusalem.
Nowadays financing is a bit easier (and safer). Financial institutions provide future kit home owners with two popular options to finance their kit homes:
A full document loan is often used by individuals that have a stable, regular income to repay their loan amount. To apply for a full document loan to finance your kit home you will need to prove your employment with payslips or business financials (self-employed). Note: To be able to apply for a full document loan, you’ll generally have to supply the following:
Full document loans often have standard interest rates associated with them.
A low document loan is another option for kit home financing for individuals that have an Australian Business Number (ABN), but cannot provide proof of a stable, regular income. You can, however, afford payment on your home loan according to the lender’s terms. Here are three main low document loan types:
An asset lend requires the least evidence of income, but will finance only a part of your kit home. These loans are secured against the property itself, and generally carry a high interest rate.
This type of low document loan simply requires a signed declaration of income. You can loan up to 80% of your kit home value, but this usually comes with higher interest rates.
An account statement low document loan requires a bit more documentation in accompaniment of the kit home loan application. This could be a letter from your accountant, or anything else to similar effect. Interest rates for this type of loan are closer to standard interest rates. Note: When you’re applying for a low document loan, you’ll generally have to supply the following:
Just like the Roman emperors that built the Colosseum –a father and son team, in fact – you’ll need some land to build your kit home. These are formally known as building blocks. Remember to keep their cost in mind when planning the financing of your kit home. In all events, consult a number of financial institutions to ensure that you get as much of your kit home financing as you can while getting the best possible interest rate.
