    so if rates are going up which i dont think they will why would they banks lock people in so low ? makes no sense unless they know they will be dropping rates soon and if they can lock people in at higher then variable they win……..just my thoughts

    The bank will ALWAYS win….when they fix your rate, they will also secure the funding with their funding line at a set rate for a set period of time- They will always maintain their profit margin. The only risk they take is YOU defaulting on the loan….interest going up or down is not a major risk factor for the bank to consider; as they migrate this change into their business and variable residential loans

    Bank loses when they have poor management , risk control or bad funding source/business model.
    If your a share holder of one of the big 4, you could access their annual report which provides a break down on their profit – it wont tell you how much their funding cost are etc…BUT Generally speaking the banks makes a larger profit from variable then from fixed,..even if the rate does up or down..

    BUT does history not show us that when fixed is lower than variable rates are on the way down !

    wait for the for sale contract to end, (usually 3 months) and then the vendor can do what they like.

    lets say i inherited $250,000 i could bye one property worth $250,000 and enjoy the rental return of lets say about $280 per week and wait for capital growth of say 4% per year =$10,000 per year, or i could bye four properties of total p/p of aprox $1,000,000 and use my $250,000 as the deposit to borrow the rest. i would not have a rental return every week as rents would go toward the repayments of loans and they would found themselves and if i got 4% per year capital growth on $1,000,000 = $40,000 per year

    hi rachael
    ive been using a similar company called whitehouse securities for about 10 years, they dont ask for a management fee however they do offer a rental garentee and maintanance for approx $30 per week, recently we had a tenant move out and left behind a trail of damage like drawing on walls, holes in walls and  stains in carpet, the list goes on, they were also three weeks behind in rent,  however with our rental / maintanace garentee,  we continued to recieve our rent as usual and damages were repaired for next tanent. we are happy with this arrangement as we dont need to worry about anything…
    happy investing…

    Well my friend tells me she believes it to be subdevidable and once her mother gifts her land for accsess road, I’m guessing it would be very attractive ?? Yes ? And the next step would be to contact council. Yes?

    my plan is to bye something negatively geared and when it gains enough capital gains sell it and use the equity to purchase something positively geared and then use its equity to purchase another negatively geared property and repeat this process over and over again
    assuming you have your own home to use as security…..
    using an investment company is OK some offer a rental and maintenance guarantee which can be peace of mind, you will pay for this service but is a tax deduction but remember they have to make a profit as-well ie sale price  ,,,,,,,,, i use a company called
     WHITE HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES 1300363738
    GOOD LUCK
