Not a lot that can be done to enforce the contract with that clause. The main thing is to learn from it and not accept a clause like that in the future.

What a good broker will do is place your initial properties with lenders with tighter credit policies, as you borrow more then use other borrowers that have credit policies that allow more properties, take a higher amount of rental income into consideration, etc.

As others have mentioned the broker will have to payback the commission. If you talk with the broker about what your aims are they can arrange a service fee to ensure they make money but a good broker should realise that you will become a regular customer in the future and help make it beneficial to both.

Different properties will achieve different returns at different times through the property cycle. 8% rental yield is a great bench mark, but just because its not achieving that doesn’t mean its not a good investment.

Like most investments it comes down to risk/reward. If you deposit $1000 in a savings account you will have $1001 in a years time. Someone on gumtree may offer to pay you 20% interest so potentially in a years time you will have $1200, but also possible to have nothing.

Welcome to the forum.

Drawing equity of $75k will take the LVR up to 91%, so you will then have to pay LMI for that as well.
