Firstly I’d like to thank everyone for their inspirations….Secondly I’d like to put to you my current situation for some friendly advice….Here goes.
I/we currently have 1 IP in Cairns @ 190- 200K rented for $250.00p/wk….We are carrying a debt of $157,609.00 locked in for 3yrs interest only, this puts us at just below the 80%LVR….I have calculated that the property costs us approximately $13.50p/wk before tax return….Another factor to consider due to having the IP in Cairns is the $8060.00 in rental assistance that I recieve for being based in Canberra on a 2yr tenure for my employment…I have a pre approval for $140,000.00 to purchase another property using the equity in our first IP but if used our LVR will go over the 80%, although not maxed out in the way of borrowing capacity, at some stage I will find it difficult to obtain finance for other IP’s. Furthermore, it is difficult at this point in time to save the required deposit…..The question is should I go ahead and purchase the 2nd IP using the equity or should I hold off a little longer and educate myself in the way of wraps etc and once I have the deposit (which may take sometime) then proceed with purchasing more properties?…..Also, can anyone suggest a good accountant based in Canberra for assisting with wraps, company/trust structuring etc and is there anyone else based in Canberra with the same common interest of obtaining finacial freedom and if so would you like to chat sometime?…
Yes, I have found a great little place for investing in if you consider the 11 sec theory of Steve’s……I’ll do a little more research etc but at this stage it’s looking fairly good….I’ll keep you posted.
