Have you bought it yet? If not tell me where it is!!

I think I may have found a flaw or two in my brokers plan. All in all it sounds good. However, if I could physically take the required amount of equity from the IP property and use it to lessen the loan amount I will still be borrowing the same amount of money. But, my weekly/monthly commitment on my PPOR will be higher which will give me less…[Read more]

I went and saw my broker this afternoon. He was very helpful and in some ways made it seem to easy. He straightened out my thinking in several ways.

I have some savings, however I figure once I relocate I will have enough funds to cover any fees that will be incurred when buying a property. As for the deposit I will have around 18 – 20000 dollars. PPOR will be priced from 160 – 200k depending on where I buy or whether I buy a unit or a house.
More thoughts or suggestions………

One a year, that’s a pace i could handle.

Best thing is it’s working at the moment. Once I re-establish myself after moving I will make the next transaction.

My first IP which I have had for two years now has even now after two interest rate rises a PC of $53.00 a week. I have been lucky enough to have it rented thus far for every day I have owned it.

What would the main benefit be of longer loan terms? Lesser repayments amount?

Banks tend to very close minded and still set in their ways. Brokers will go the extra mile to help as they will usually be getting some sort of direct commission spin off. I know if it were me I’d go hrder with good financial incentive.

String ’em up!!
