AI Thread Summary
To buy a second property valued at $600,000, a 35% deposit of $210,000 is needed, while maintaining 20% equity in the first property worth $550,000. The discussion revolves around calculating the necessary increase in the first property's value to meet these financial requirements. It is clarified that the first property must be worth enough to allow a maximum mortgage of 80%, ensuring 20% equity is retained. The current value of the first property is already sufficient to meet the deposit requirement for the second property without needing an increase in value.

Hello all - I am after a little help and was hoping I could find the answer here!

A property is worth $550,000 and the bank requires 20% equity is kept in the house.
To buy a second property (say $600,000 for arguments sake) the bank requires a 35% deposit. I want to calculate how much I need the first house price to increase by to maintain 20% equity and also gain the 35% deposit required for the new house. I can do this by trial and error, but would love a method by which I could punch in a house price and it told me how much I needed the initial property to be worth to maintain 20% in it while also having 35% of the second property.

Thanks in advance.

I have removed the dollar signs because this board interprets them as beginning and ending a math formula.

That's all quite unclear...

Can you provide a full example...
 
OK sorry if it was unclear. I should have included an example.
House one cost 550,000 and I have to maintain 20% equity at all times. So 110,000 at current levels, 115,000 if the value rises to 575,000 etc.
I want to buy house two for 600,000 and require a 35% deposit, being 210,000.
If house one rose in value to 796,000 I would maitain 20% equity (159,000) while also having the 35% deposit required for house 2 (210,000).
I'm after a formula where I can put in a value of house two and it tells me the value house one would need to have to maintain 20% equity while providing the 35% deposit.

Thanks again

"House one cost 550,000 and I have to maintain 20% equity at all times.

What does "20% equity" mean?
Maximum mortgage of 80%?
If house paid, you'd have 100% equity?

"I'm after a formula where I can put in a value of house two and it tells
me the value house one would need to have to maintain 20% equity
while providing the 35% deposit"

You've lost me...again!
 
Here is my interpretation: you need to take 210,000 out of the first house in order to buy the second house. The bank requires that you take no more than 80% out of the first house (leaving 20% equity). So you need the first house to be worth "W" with 0.80W= 210,000. W= 210,000/0.80= 262500. The first house is currently worth 550,000, that is already enough. It does not need to increase in value. 80% of 550,000 is $440,000l, more than 210,000.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
