Why don't you get a rental valuation and a BTL mortgage quote and see if the figures stack up. If they do, then show him the proof.

Mine said that at the start, but the house has been on the market 10 months now and he can see that it probably won't sell this year.. So just be patient. Men just take longer to see what we can see straigt away.
(Another man bashing opportunity here!

Well lets hope everyone before us have all their documents up to date and complete. So then the processing doesnt get held up, where the CO's will request for further docs etc.
Keep our fingers crossed and who knows, we might get our visa's by end of July.

Oh yeah! By the way - you guys may want to pring, sign, scan and upload the Australian Values Statement form to your application. This is not to delay your application any further. Coz, your CO might request you to do so - if you haven't (1-2 weeks) wasted there.. Here is the link..
http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-australia/values/statement/long/index.htm
From 15 October 2007, the Migration Regulations 1994 (‘the Regulations’) will include a new requirement that applicants for permanent, and selected temporary visas must sign a statement that, among other things, they will respect Australian values and will comply with Australian law for the duration of their stay in Australia (a values statement).
