sorry i was wrong,
last night when i was ready more of my program on john fitzgerald i did discover that he does prefer to negative gear. i thought he worked on cash-flow pos but he doesn’t. i lot of what he talks about though is very good and does explain and teach a lot about cash flow management, tax, equity, and different strategies but my husband and i have always believed that if your not cash positive how can you keep adding to a loan if the money is not coming in.
if all your doing with neg gearing is topping up then there must only be so much you can do.
does this make sense to anyone.
i know with neg gearing you can claim on a lot at tax time but if your making that money on a weekly basis doesn’t that sound more sensible.
oh boy how will i ever get it. lol
Hi steve,
we have an appointment with our bank manager in a couple of days just to go through all our finances and then we will see our accountant to find the best option for us that we feel comfortable with. i just needed to know what you thought so thankyou very much.
everyone is so helpful in here its fantastic especially for people like us that really haven’t got a clue but really want to learn. i,m so glad that i found this site
Hi BDM
first of all congradulations on impending arrival of new bubs.
second, thankyou for your response and i’m with you on the low risk at this time. i think with what it will cost us to split the loans we are going to wait until we purchase our next property and then we’ll do the split.Why do it twice if were not far from aquiring another one.
i didn’t realise about having to completly seperate loans (one for home and one for invest) and then also splitting the invest in 2.
and i dont really understand why you will eventually split again when you purchase more. hyperthetically wouldn’t it be easier to have say 6 props in one loan and home seperate. am i understanding correctly what you are saying that each time you buy a house you will create a new loan for each one.
i hope this isnt a stupid question but as i said this is why i’m here, to learn.
and i know that everyone does things differently and i feel like such an amatuer (see i dont think i can even spell it) lol.
anyway thankyou so much for your response its given me even more to think about.

i totally agree even though i’m really only 2 days old (in this forum) i’ve already learnt alot of things that i would’t have been able to find out before i joined. so thankyou
Hi AD
john fitzgerald program is really very informative and it is opening my eyes. it is all about cash flow positive and wealth building passive and active. very much the same as here. i’m only about 1/4 of the way through but i have scanned it all, now it’s just a matter of learning everything
when i’m not on here learning from you guys then i’m reading his work. (forget housework and almost forget my off-spring lol)
so much information i hope i can keep it in.

Hi steve and thankyou very much for you reply,
oh boy do i feel like i’m having my boundries challenged but it’s the best kind of challenge i’ve had for a long time.
i know that you said that it didnt matter what you think and yes your right BUT i would honestly like to know your opinion on that (split or leave). do we not need to prove that we are cash positive on our investment. we have around $220k equity in both houses but about $150k of that is in the investment one. i’m really not sure what kind of diffence it makes either way (except proof of extra income).
thanks again
karen
sorry but i just have to say that as you can see we are both straight from the cradle and i think we have gone the wrong way around,
thats why i’m here to learn and get things right.
we have got a program from john fitzgerald called untold wealth success from scratch and are in the middle of learning that now. (i hope i can say that).
but i really love this forum and i’ve been here a lot looking and learning so thankyou very much for being here.
karen
thankyou both very much i think we will fix her up and keep her then as you said re-finance and revalue and buy a third one. also when we bought the new house that we live in the finance company that we went through combined both houses in one. now shouldn’t we split them up to prove that we do have a pos-cash flow from the investment one and have int only on that first one and P&I on our home.
thankyou again
karen
