What will the rates be in 12months does anyone think they will be lower again? I am now waiting to refinance in late 09. So it will be interesting times.
All okay after 3rd yr no % exit fee just normal discharge fees phew…….!!!! good to see Rates coming down now and RHG and RAMS will be losing a lot of customers after they exit out especially me ….
Bacon as far as i am aware you don't earn interest because if you do, you will be paying tax as it is earned income from the bank. The interest earned will actually lower what interest you pay on the monthly balance of your Loan.
Has anyone dealt with Mal Emery business coaching. I did and was sorely ripped off though got a refund! Advice i could have got it from a book! What a joke!
So what everyone is saying is that you must pay for the offset account with a fee? I thought it was a free account?
can someone explain why. Also Terry if you have a debt on your PPOR and you were going to live there for a few years, are you saying that not paying that off would be a good idea? If you don't pay down the loan you will pay higher repayments on interest. Don't you think that paying down the non-deductible debt would be better. Then redraw out and then use for Investment would be deductible.
Sorry to be a pain again, Thanks Richard for the advice. I spoke to one Broker who said it is costly to maintain the Trust with Corporate Trustee etc. Advised me to buy a few IP's in my own name then later on buy in Trust Structure. what I am ultimately trying to do is purchase another PPOR with as little as non-deductible debt on it as possible as i don't like paying interest on something that i can't deduct for invesment. So i am trying to seek the right advice to set up my portfolio so if i sell my existing PPOR to the Trust i will have to pay Stamp Duty which is okay but as i understand it. I can then free up more equity to put down on a deposit for my new PPOR if that is correct.
As i am waiting for growth to happen on my properties it may be 2-3years away before i can purchase another IP or even a new PPOR. I just want to get it right now so i don't have problems in the future.
ahahhaaha bought a leased car from work, back '99 it is a Daewoo breakdown Nubira! But i just replaced the head and had it serviced it has done about 253,000km's so if i can get another 3 years out of it i would be quite happy. Then look at something again maybe 2 or 3yrs old.
How do you set up a 100% offset account if you have your loan with one Bank and your savings with another Bank. eg. Loan with CBA but savings account with ANZ. Can you please explain how to set up.
So does this mean a family could effectively rent somewhere else while considering if they want to sell their PPOR into a Trust and then purchase a new PPOR thus turning their PPOR into investment property!
I found out that the yearly rent if rented would only be at the maximum $16200 then you have rates etc on top of that. the asking price is about $330,00 but i don't think the business is worth much. It is a small retail shop 90m2. What would be a fair price to offer? Not sure how commercial properties work with regard to residential.
well affordability would be nearer if these people stopped wasting money on brand new cars, plasmas, and all the like. I still have my TV which is close to 18yrs old a card which is 9 years old. i go without because my investments are more like my health insurance when i get old! alot of people forget we only need food, shelter and clothes everything else is a luxury!
