    Or just wait for a while.

    Cheers

    Hi Byronent

    Yes i know what you mean.

    Yes i remember the Salisbury/Parafield Gardens and adjoining areas houses were $50000 and renting for $120 a week. I spoke to my accountant he told me get into Managed Funds and to steer clear of these areas and the property market. I would lose money big time.

    Well one has to move on. I wonder if similar circumstances will arise again but with different numbers.

    By the way i changed accountants.

    cheers

    I would’ve thought that the learned few of the forum would know what i was referring to other than a four legged hairy animal. I was using the Peter Spann term for a non performing asset.

    The property was owner occupied
    It was 10 km from the CBD
    It was in a preodminatnly housing trust area

    At this time there were many one could buy at these prices in this area but nobody wanted them at that particular time.

    The thing is that this area was stagnant for years. Then it took of like most areas.

    Yet had you spoken to many in the game at the time they would tell you to steer clear not a good area.

    Cheers

    Hi Rob

    I am currently going to refinance my IP.

    I am considering also refinancing my PPOR.

    I currently have a LOC with my PPOR split
    so part is for personal
    and part for Investment

    I am just looking at the options at this point of what is the best move. At this stage i am not sure if i will sell the PPOR to buy another one.

    Retain the current PPOR and make it into an IP.

    So it appears that the offset offers the greatest choice at a time in the future.

    I have been one in the LOC camp and liked them my last PPOR i had a LOC paid down to 20000 owing however i had to sell to buy this current one. Otherwise i would’ve had a large PPOR debt and a small IP debt if i had kept it as an IP.

    So it seems that if i had an offset at that stage and had that 80000 in it which i had paid off the LOC i could’ve used it as a deposit on the current PPOR and the loan would have remained at 100000 and become (tax deductible) and my loan on the new PPOR wouldv’e been halved.

    So this got me thinking if there is a better way of doing it legally ala

    LOC or OFFSET

    kind regards
    Alf

    Hi Waynel

    Yes it was verifiable she was a friend of ours we knew her when she maxed out her credit cards to visit the company to see with her own eyes.

    So we saw her growth.
    800pm
    2000pm
    3000pm
    8000pm
    30000pm
    60000pm
    70000pm
    80000pm

    This high end stayed sustainable for a few years she has since dropped out and doing other things shw invested heavily in real estate bought an island etc. She bought house all around the world
    She still gets cheques approx 50000 a month now.

    Her words this is like winning the lottery every month.

    I remember her telling us if this opportunity is half as good as they say this will make me rich.

    She could see it and in a short space of time her predictions were correct.
    There was going to be a quantum leap in earning/sales/sponsoring etc as momentum was starting to occur.

    She did beleive that the NW model with a good solid company with a unique consumable product was a good one.
    She felt anyone with a hunger for success could make it in that model as reward was based on your own efforts combined with the efforts of others.
    LEVERAGE of TIME.

    Hi again

    My understanding is that this is quite legitimate.

    The only proviso would be that the original loan on the PPOR is tax deductible if made to an IP.

    If you had a loan for 70000 then spent 30000 on doo dads the original 70000 interest is tax deductible.

    The only thing i am trying to establish is the question of CHOICE.

    So if at the end of the day one decided to pay down the loan on the ppor then one can just refinance and put in the 40000 as used before and loan at 60000.

    Otherwise one could go down the PPOR to IP path etc.

    It appears the LOC does not give the same choice.

    Hi Rob

    Thanks for that reply just so the information is correct from how i see it i’ll use an example:
    LOC
    Limit 200000

    split ppor 100000 Inv100000
    balance 60000
    available 40000

    using the 40000 for
    deposit on new ppor
    the 40000 interest is not
    tax deductaible because the purpose
    is not for income producing purposes.

    Offset
    Loan 100000
    40000 in account I/O

    Loan still 100000
    take the 40000 and use as
    deposit for new ppor

    now rent the IP the loan is 100000 interst tax deductible

    Thats how i understand it to be.

    Regards
    Alf

    Hi Rob

    Thanks for that what i was getting to was that with a LOC you pay your loan down or pay interest only however if you kept the ppor as an ip you would have to draw the loan back up and the purpose would be for your new PPOR for eg.

    With offset you would have the cash as a sizeabel deposit but the loan would remain the ame and be tax deductable.

    This is the way i understand it as otherwise you would have a small loan on a IP and a large loan on a PPOR.

    I hope i express it correctly of what i am trying to highlight so you understand as to the better structure.

    Can one get OFFSET I/O loans.

    regards

    Hi All

    Great thread and some good points.

    MMMM Network Marketing
    Well i knew a woman that made it big she went from $2000 a month to $80000 a month in the space of 2years.

    What were the secrets of her success:
    -She had a system
    -She talked to people
    -She phoned people
    -She lived and breathed it
    -She was a great motivator
    -She picked her people like a board of directors
    -She asscociated with peoples people
    -She only signed up go getters
    -She faked her wealth till she made it
    -She set Goals
    -She worked up to 90hrs a week in the early days
    -She now works 10hrs a week
    -She kept to a simple system
    -She said the most important thing it has to be duplicable so every one can do it.(KISS)
    -She recognised the company had something unique about its product.
    -The product was consumable.
    -The system was to help you make money
    -The system could make you rich
    -She was so focussed no distractions
    -She made sure she would qualify her propspects

    She sponsored over 60 people herself
    About 40 were like shooting stars
    about 10 were like comets
    about 5 were gold
    and the rest were diamonds
    These were her expressions.
    The last 10 created downlines 8 times the size of the other 50.

    This she had forecast and she understood this business i feel as she said
    (20% will do more thatn the 80% combined.)

    She had been in two NW companies before she struck it rich.

    Was she the person that works at the local factory with a fag in her mouth and rollers in her hair you know
    “anyone can do it.”
    NO She was professional in all ways.

    A bit of food for thought if you apply yourself to any endeavour.

    Hi all

    Thankyou all for your responses and input. Had a discussion with my broker and he indicates the response from the ANZ is as follows.

    Whether with a breakfree arrangement or not if the loan is Interest Only then the way the system is set up it has to have an account with ANZ to direct Debit. The reason is because interest is calculated daily and 28days/30days/31days different amounts are taken out monthly. So basically the system isn’t set up to deal with this from another institution.

    P&I is ok it can direct debit any institution to get the funds.

    Well something to be aware of.

    Hi

    At what stage am i at i have signed the necessary paperwork. All that stands being finalised my electing to use my NAB account to pay the interest on the loan and not using the account set up by ANZ.

    So if i decide not to go ahead for example can ANZ force me to take the loan. or can i not accept the loan.

    Hi all

    Sorry if i didn’t make it clear. The application fee was $600. The broker negotiated with ANZ and was reduced to $200.

    The broker indictated for the sake of $95 the break free was a better option.

    The fact that you had to have another account was also known, and the broker did tell me.

    What threw the broker was that the loan interest payments had to come from the ANZ other account no other account.

    So as i understand it
    Breakfree
    must have ANZ account
    must make loan interest payments from ANZ account
    must have credit card min $7500
    other benefits re fees etc.

    No Breakfree
    Interest loan payments can come from any account
    do not have to have ANZ account
    do not have to have credit card
    some fees apply

    Does this appear correct?

    Hi all
    Thanks for your responses
    Terryw
    The Broker was able to negotiate the application fee down from $600 to $200. However he encouraged me to take the professional package at $295 for future borrowings etc.

    If i open a/c then close it this may be then in breach with the conditions as set out and they may not close it. I do want to try and do the right thing as you never know when you may need them.

    What p…ed me off was that this was not disclosed to me. I also have a Professional package with the NAB. The idea was to ultimately take the PPOR over also thus the ANZ professioal package. In the immediate term though the cost is too high so only the IP.

    Thanks all for sharing your own experiences and suggestions.

    regards
    Alf

    Hi The Crest
    Thanks for your reply when you say give them 30 days how do i do that. I mean i have a signed PM agreement that says 60 days.

    Do i have to give 60 days notice first and then renegotiate.

    The other thing is that the tenants are company executives which use the place when they come over from interstate. They have said they may use it over a weekend from time to time. If they still have the lease up to its time.

    I just figured that wouldn’t it be better to have a lease in place for another 12mths etc.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    regards

    Hi Amanda

    Thanks for that so if you do not have a tenant in place then a landlord can walk away irrespective of what is in the PM agreement. Or does one still have to give the appropriate notice.

    Interesting my tenant is vacating the premises 3 months early but still paying the rent. They have asked the PM to ask me to seek new tenants so they can be absolved of the rent. If not they understand that they are bound by the lease.

    The PM indicated that i would have to pay 75% of the advertising cost and letting fee because of the situation. This seems fair as i would incur this at the end anyway.

    regards
