    Minimum deposit for a normal type of loan is 5%. This must be genuinely saved over 6 months.

    Stop paying the extra on your bad debts, pay the min and start saving that deposit.

    You can decide whether to pay it off or not whe you are ready to buy.

    Just an idea!

    Well if you are increasing your debt without increasing your overall net worth then you really need to have rising property values to justify such a strategy.

    If you are paying interest on interest then I don’t believe that the tax office allows you to claim the second lot of interest as a deduction.

    I am no taxation expert – perhaps someone else can contribute here.

    Not bad in a steeply rising market – what happens if the market goes sideways for a few years?

    I think there is also issues with the tax deductibility of capitalised interest…

    Have you ever heard the question:

    How does one man eat an elephant?

    One bite at a time.

    At your position looking ahead it seems quite daunting and unachievable. Set yourself a goal to buy your first property. It wont be as hard as it seems. Then armed with your new knowledge, experience and confidence you can buy your second. Before you know it you will have some equity and be thinking of the third….

    Make sure you find a lender who will lend you the most according to your situation. Nthingis more frustrating than finding your lender wont come to the party for number three but others will. This is a brokers expertise is invaluable.

    All the best,

    I am not too sure.

    I can find out tomorrow but I strongly suspect you will be two different entities.

    You should have little trouble getting a lender to use your company with you as guarantor – using your borrowing capacity.

    I suggest you find a broker experienced in this area.

    That isn’t logical. Your debt is a fixed amount. If you pay off your home loan and leave the Ips as IO then the total debt doesn’t change – just the proportions.

    Pay off the non deductible debt first.

    Do some reading on the FHOG – there is some info on my website and links to your state’s websites. Do a search here as well. Plenty of posts already.

    Basically you can use the FHOG for a property provided you ocupy it within the first 12 months and occupy it for a period of more than 6 months.

    Your amount you can spend is limited only by your deposit and your income. Use a mortgage calculator or contact a broker to determine your capacity.

    That was my point Terry – 95% lend pus LMI lent as well. That actualy reduces the LMI as the deposit is slightly higher.

    Are you absolutely sure that you need vendor finance?

    Speak to a cluey broker and make sure you have exhausted all other forms of finance first and you may save yourself considerably!

    Use a broker as many lenders are different when it comes to rural postcodes.

    Save you the time of calling them all.

    That is certainly a popular strategy and there are a number of ways to structure finance to suit. I wouldn’t give any more advice without knowing you and your situation better.

    ANZ Breakfree is a fine product.

    They will also allow you to capitalise the LMI which means your deposit will go further – therefore less LMI. Hope this makes sense [blink]

    You will also be able to use this to grow your portfolio without additional fees.

    If settlement is simultaneous then youmay not require any finance.

    This is more a question for your solicitor.
