    Yes, sorry I did mean an offset account. If I can withdraw from it, I can add around 35k a year.extra till its positive geared.

    I plan to use 95% or 100% of my tax return (only put some into my buffer account if need be) each year will go onto the loan. I have around 3-4 years of solid work (6-7 days) worth coming up so I want to make the most of this while I am young and have the high income. hoping to be able to save around 40k a year, or pay 40 off the house.

    I am looking at building a new house in a area which will cost me around $320,000 to $350,000. with a rental return off a bit under $350 a week, I have my Mothers house to borrow against, plus my savings which will be around $90,000. and also my FHBG, (If I choose to use it)

    I also was thinking to buy the land, and start to build on it later this year after. building rather then buying to help with stamp duty costs.

    Thank you for the helpful post :)

    I will be having a 10k buffer savings for spikes,sickness,repairs etc.
    I currently save 1200 a week and still above my needs so 200 a week out of pocket for negative gearing is no worrie.
    Should I aim to make extra repayments to get to a pos geared loan as soon as I can?

    I came here with the idea of neg gearing, but its not the only path I want. You members have explained better eays. So im not that worried about my tax. My only goal is long term wealth, if tax cuts came into play that would be great. But clearly this is not the case, which is why im here asking for advices on other paths

    I have very little savings for a deposit, so my first has to be a negative gear set up, I plan to buy my 2nd with a positive gear.

    Unless anyone has any other idea's? I dont think I can avoid the negative gearing on the first one, Which doesn't bother me cause I will be making extra repayments and my tax return will be reinvested, either into the loan or to buy my next.

    Thank you for your post. Long term wealth is my goal. Tax reduction would be nice, but if that means less profits. Its not worth it. I am not solely focused on the tax side of it
