The collaboration began with a reputable Malaysian-based Boutique Project Marketing Agency, recognizing us as the firm to successfully broker financing for this investment opportunity.
While one purchaser had the financial capacity for the investment, her daughter, being a full-time university student, lacked the borrowing capacity and was financially dependent on her parents. Traditional lending norms often view joint borrowers not in a spousal relationship as indirect, leading to conservative loan approvals if at all.
Our expertise in navigating complex lending scenarios led us to our conclusion to strategically treat the daughter as financially dependent on her mother, factoring her expenses into the servicing calculation. We did this knowing full well that the primary borrower’s income would be sufficient to cover both borrowers for servicing purposes.
With thorough documentation, compelling evidence and a detailed submission, we secured unconditional loan approval. The lender greenlit the mother-daughter loan combination, after considering our submission on the mother's robust borrowing capacity.
The property purchase is set for settlement in August/September 2023. Beyond achieving financial milestones, the strategic inclusion of the daughter as a property owner resulted in substantial savings being allowed significant transfer fees in having to remove her daughter's name from the sales contract prior to settlement.
