    It is upto you but i think i would put my energies into forging a team of Professionals to work with rather than trying to do everything yourself.

    Agreed. I'm not about to go off and get a medical degree so I can treat myself every time I get sick – it's impossible to be good at everything. For that reason, you need to make use of those that excel in their fields. This goes for all industries.

    Hey guys I am 20 yrs old and looking to buy my first property in early 2014, my max price $300,000 with a  20% deposit. My question I wanted to ask was, should I see a mortgage broker or just borrow directly from the lender ? Whats some trips and traps to look out for ? how do I find the best price ? or the best broker ? any real estate traps from the agents? If there is any step by step advice please feel free to add in because I assume the majority on this forum have already existing propertys and are well experienced. Thank You for taking your time to read my question and Happy 2014 best of luck to all your properties in the New Year

    Hi Matt

    If you go direct to the bank they can only advise on their banks products. If you go to a broker they'll have access to dozens of lenders.

    With bank staff, there aren't a lot that are clued up with property investment structures. The same goes with some brokers – you'll find that some are absolutely clueless when it comes to IP related structures.

    If you're comfortable with dealing remotely with a broker than you can select one from anywhere in the country. Just shoot them an email or give them a call and see how you go. 

    Cheers

    That's a lot of great information, thank you Richard and Jamie.

    So, then it means the whole buying process, from mortgage application to closing can be done from outside the country, right?

    Would it be more advisable to be present for some of the stages, though?

    Correct – you can be outside of the country for the entire process :-)

    I just arranged a loan for an Aussie living/working in the middle east earning USD. He appointed one of his parents as POA. Everything was pretty smooth sailing.

    I suppose the question is how do I get into the 2nd property and how much $$$ do I need upfront?  To cover deposit, fees etc…   I hear stories of people borrowing money against their properties.  I suppose I just want the easiest way to buy 2nd property.  Any advice?  

    Easy peasy.

    Have the first property valued – and if there's equity available, tap into it.

    That equity will then be used to cover the deposit and purchase costs on your next property.

    You then take out a third loan to cover the remaining balance on the next property.

    Cheers

    Good Morning all,

    Would like your advice on the following. I currently have 4 properties  (3 investment + 1 residence). All my investments properties are currently fixed for 3 years, interest only loans. I wish to purchase Property investment 4 next year using equity from the other IP. However, because it is interest only, can I get equity. I only have about $10K cash. Will the banks lend me $$. How does this equity work? I heard that if you have an interest only loan, i cannot use the equity.

    Can anyone shed some light on how to move forward with finance?

    Thanks

    Christine

    Fixed and interest only doesn't necessarily present an issue when releasing equity.

    What are the values and loan amounts for each property and which lenders are they with? 

    Cheers

    Terry / Richard,

    With all the experience and learning lessons you both had, have you considered writing a book or better still, coming up with a online education course thingy? We freshies (new investors) can learn from you.

    That's what this forums for :-) Plenty of content from both of the guys is online here.

    Cheers

    Hi Paul

    What state was the purchase made in?

    Do you think you'll ever purchase another owner occupied home?

    1. Continue growing the business and recruit additional staff

    2. Purchase another couple of IPs

    3. Complete renos on PPOR (almost there)

    Cheers

    If you appoint a POA in Australia that should speed things up.

    I've been told Kevin Zani is pretty good – http://www.beaumarisbusiness.com.au/

    I don't have any first hand experience and the recommendation was from another broker.

    Nope – you don't need to be in the country to apply for the loan.

    Hey Jamie,

    I would also like to ask the same question as Hari?

    I have heard others say that they are expecting rates to go down again as well. Do you think this is true?

    It's a tough one to answer – and it's a question I get all the time. I prefer to sit on the fence when it comes to discussions about rates – unless you've got a crystal ball it's tough to determine….plus I'd rather let my clients decide on whether they'd like to go fixed/variable or a combination of both. I just spell out the pros/cons of each and let them make an informed decision. 

    Cheers

    Without getting into an in-depth post it's just monetary policy – they increase rates to slow down the economy and reduce rates to stimulate it. http://www.rba.gov.au/monetary-policy/

    Dear All, 

    Looks like I got the best deal, with the Interest rate. 

    No one wants to discuss Interest rates here. 

    Thank you

    If we're playing that game – Richard's 1.3% discount is much lower.

    All I know is that I always seem to negotiate much lower rates for my clients portfolios than I've been able to arrange for my own.

    Hi and welcome aboard

    Purchasing multiple IPs in a short period of time is possible – I've had quite a few clients do it.

    Two things that help a lot are access to a large chunk of equity/cash and good borrowing capacity.

    Without sounding biased – a good finance person will also be a handy person to have on board. They'll structure your finances correctly and select the right lender at the right time which can assist with avoiding a hit to the borrowing capacity wall too early.

    Cheers
