You will need a commercial loan then. I was hoping we might be able to get it considered as a residential investment if it was a normal property.
I know a good commercial broker in Sydney if you need to talk to someone.

Is it a home or a purpose built property?

No – I have had no need to.
But I know the authors and have seen the amount of work they have put into it. I also know the sort of people they are and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

If your husband has owned a home then I don’t believe you will be able to apply for the FHOG.
Follow the FHOG links on my website and read the relevant legislation at your state.

Talk to a good broker like Terry and see what he can do for you before you give up this option.

I wouldn’t be looking that far out personally but it is a good point you make with the historical lows.
There would also be low break costs should the variable rate have moved higher by the time you might wish to close the facility.
I think if it suits your strategy then go for it.
Unfortunately as far as rate predictions go – my crystal ball is in for repairs [biggrin]

How would it suit a broker to xcoll? I am not being sarcastic – am genuinely curious.

Dale,
You have more front than Myers – shame your research isn’t up to the same level.
Fancy asking people to help write your book then you offer them a free copy worth maybe $20! And you make that offer unashamedly as if you are doing them a favour.
Anyway – I would suggest that if you are after US stories then maybe spamming US forums might have more success.

Will need some more info to make some suggestions.
Might be best to speak to a new broker direct rather than publish too much info here – ask around for a referral.

You are allowed to purchase investment property after Jul 2000 and, provided you never occupy it as your home, still buy a home and claim the FHOG.
See my website for FHOG info and click the link to your state.

Speaking as a mortgage broker I think you are able to go ahead. It is realy up to your goals and strategy as to what you would like to do.
What sort of price range are you considering here?

I would hold.
If you contemplate selling and buying a pos cashflow property you must factor in the selling costs, CGT and the buying costs + the time spent doing this.
Add these figures to the cost of the pos geared property and it will make it negative I bet!!
By all means look for another property to add to your portfolio – perhaps overall you will be neutrally or even pos geared.
