Hi Marisa
I would suggest you use the LOC for 20% deposit with an Australian or NZ lender,
If you were to use your own funds to purchase outright you may find it difficult to find the deposits on future purchases,

Hi everyone
I have a question sort of on behalf of my parents because I really want to help them in their current situation. They are currently renting but looking to buy a home soon to live in for retirement. I was wondering if being on the wrong side of the hill (don’t mean to offend anyone here just having a little fun[]) will affect how long the loan term will be for, or can they still take out a 25 or 30 year loan.
Thanks everyone!
Oh by the way they are around 50 or so, I won’t say exactly or i’ll be in trouble! []

Interest only loans can vary in length, 10 to 15 years,
Upon conclusion of the interest only period you may negotiate another Interest only term or refinance with another lender,
Contact Simon (Mortgage Hunter) he is also in NSW,

Hi PenguinJr,
Capitalisation rate is the income divided by the purchase price as a percentage,
The lower the capitalisation rate, the higher the value.
Hi Felicity,
I think the Agent is bound by Law to submit all offers to the vendor,
I would be inclined to put an offer in writing and present this to the Agent, If the Agent declines to forward your offer to the vendor then contact the vendor direct with your offer, Good luck,

Hi Jay
At times there may be benefits in paying interest in advance,
E.g.: To minimize tax and maximize cash flow over a certain period, (speak to an accountant for specific details and advice)
However, if the loan is regulated (funds for personal use, not for investment purpose, under the UCCC) the interest on this loan MAY not be tax affective,check this with an Accountant,

Hi Ozzienite62 & Welcome to the forum,
Borrowing more funds will depend on the LVR of your portfolio,
I would suggest you contact a good mortgage broker, and discuss the best way to structure your borrowing both now and in to the future,
