    Hi all

    Hope you are all having a great day, after all it is friday.

    just wanted to see everybodies opinion about Interest only loans. When you are trying to locate a positive cashflow property, is it on an interest only loan?

    Thanks all[:)]

    Hi Monika,

    I much prefer to use a principle interest loan, i rather pay the loan down, but at the same time, be one day able to own the property rather that just have payed interest, though if you are just doing a buy and hold, then quick sell. Then interest only maybe a better choice.

    Though a prinicple interest loan, your repayments are much higher than an interest only loan. Its a decision you have to make yourself in the end.

    cheers

    Save on a regular basis

    Is your PPOR loan fully paid off? If you, you probably should direct all extra repayments to this loan, rather than paying down deductible debt.

    Do a search as there was a pretty detailed thread on the Property forum.
