Under the new National Consumer Credit Protection act any loan that is predominately used for residential or personal use will be treated as a coded loan. This applies to investment and owner occupied properties. Gone are the days of a loan secured by an investment property being uncoded.
The EXCEPTION to this rule is if the borrower is a Company / Trust or if the use of the loan funds is for business or investment purposes.
What this means is that in most cases the the the funder will now be required by law to be comfortable that the borrower can service any debt.
