    Hi, I am only trying to figure out how much it would cost me per month to hold a property. The numbers ie the IP value and then proposed rent are from a property on RE.com that was for sale.No we are not looking at buying a property now but merely trying to learn how  to calculate the holding cost of the IP.I would appreciate any comments/feedback on how  calculate the fortnightly holding cost of the IP  Thanks,johk

    Hi Johk

    I probably should have mentioned this before – if you plug your numbers into this spreadsheet it will give you an estimate of the holding costs – http://www.passgo.com.au/investment-property-analysis-tool.html

    I cant see anywhere wheter I have an offset account and I dont really want to have this loan set up then find out I dont have one.

    No stress – it's easy enough to set it up in branch (providing the loan product allows it).

    Work out your end goal and devise a strategy from that.

    Surround yourself with a good broker, accountant and others with a similar interest/mindset.

    Thanks, Richard. Yes, it will be a new lender for the new loan. Instead of "Re-Draw" what is the appropriate word? Is this kind of Split loan called Line of credit home loan or equity home loan ? Or some other name? Any online information about these kind of loans ? I am happy to look up if I know what this thing is called in Bank's language. Any idea how much time banks take for the Split loan application ? First, I am trying to settle the home loan with the new lender and take do the Spilt loan application with old lender. Is this making sense? I am planning to time this along with the settlement date which is about 4 weeks from now. Cheers, WC

    Hi WC

    Why not save yourself the hassle and just get in touch with Richard who will structure it correctly for you. You have nothing to lose.

    Cheers

    Any thoughts.

    Try another bank.

    If there's a broker organising the deal they should be able to make some calls to see which lender will accept it.

    a bit of tongue-in-cheek Jamie. Property is too big an investment to go into lightly. gens x & y will need to acknowledge that they can't simply run off to Jools & Swanie to change the investment framework just because long term, commitment & informed consent don't meet their requirements.

    Haha – I'm with you.

    It can't hurt to ask.

    Are the other properties within the same location? If so, are you happy with the other PM? If not, could be a good opportunity to bundle them all together and offer them to this PM at a negotiated discount.

    would you get an inspection done ? 

    Absolutely! This is money well spent. If possible – try to be present during the inspection so you can have a quick chat with the inspector. If you can't be present, give them a buzz afterwards to quickly discuss the report.

    Cheers

    The govt. Has provided the get out early card so it'll make life interesting if there are no exit fees.

    I don't know if the Govt. early exit fee ban will have much of an effect. If someone wants to jump ship now – chances are their loan was taken out before the introduction of the legislation so they might still be up for early exit and discharge fees. If they fix their loan – they prob won't benefit from a refi because the break costs will be too high.

    I wrote an article for API recently on the topic here

    Wow, that spam attack was crazy. I logged onto the site this morning and it was 90% spam.

    Big thanks to the mod for cleaning it up.

    Thanks fo the suggestions.  Great stuff.  I've drafted a letter and sent it to the new pm to look over.  It is tricky as we are in the middle of lease renewal with a long term tenant, too.  Won't manage myself as it is about 1500km from where I live.  Cheers.

    Can you wait until the new lease is signed? Might make things a little easier.

    Cheers

    if the property is currently leased, there is precious little you can do about the presentation by the tenants, that's the way they live. If the house was vacant a stylist could provide you with as little or as much as you require – from furniture to rugs, accessories, artwork Etc……. Cost will vary with the services provided & length of hire/eot. They will also advise if you need to touch-up painting in specific rooms.

    Totally agree with Scott here.

    I've seen what student houses look like :(

    Do you need to sell right now? It might be best to wait until their lease is up. The house will present better so it will hopefully sell for more.

    Cheers
