    so what do you think i should do based on my figures? IO or P&I?

    Basically i work on a job with quite low pay, and it takes a long time for me to save up a deposit. But i would like to buy more properties either WRAP, QUICK CASH (Recnovation) or POSITIVE CASHFLOW within 1 year.

    How does one calculate the monthly repayment for a IO loan? I have a mortgage calculator but dont know how to use it for IO.

    When i am using a IO loan, isnt it considered “wasted” as those interest paid over the years didnt reduce the loan at all? I know it gives us more cashflow on one hand, but we have to calculate the interest paid to the bank dont we?

    also Derynaka,

    why does a IO loan frees up more cashflow?
    ALthough we dont pay principle on it, we still pay about the same amount dont we? And usually the interest loan is higher in % than PI loan.
    give me an example based on my property figure pls.
    THank you

    Derynaka,

    hi thanks.
    Well, the loan application only cost me $400, and there’s no valuation fee nor monthly fee for it. Also, the stamp duty was only about $1000+ from what my finance broker calculated for me.

    So you still think its better for me to get a Interest Only loan huh?
    What about when i get positive rental income, is that taxable? How do i reduce that? By getting a paper loss is it?

    Try buying the “Australian property Investor” magazine which gives u the median price of all postcodes each issue.
    Usually, if it is less than $150,000 your chances of getting a positive cash flow is pretty high.
    For rents of $120pw, then the property should not exceed $80,000-$90,000.

    For $150,000 house, i would guess the rent should be more than approx $250p/w.

    hope this helps!
