Hi,
I’m a big fan of P & I loans as you repay debt and therefore reduce your exposure to increases in interest rates.
I use I/O on commercial deals where P & I is not feasible to deliver a +ve cashflow outcome.

Hi James,
For me – Interest only while I have non-deductible debt. I’ll reconsider my options when this is paid out.

thanks Steve,
I think given the state of the Aussie market right now i am going to have to use IO to cheat and make some properties positive. Also am considering converting my others to IO in order to gain access to more funding. Any major pitfalls to IO i should be aware of?
cheers.
I use IO for IP’s also

As this is my first post/reply I would request that you all be gentle with me . We have a Negative geared property in Sydney which we are now keeping for the potential capital gains. And we have purchased 3 +ve properties in country areas which we have financed I/O . This way was chosen because we are now require to paying the least amouint off per week BUT we will be also paying our XS rents into the loan to reduce the debt. Each $1000 paid earns us $1.24 per week xtra which also goes back into the loan.( Income is not a priority at the present, rather looking down the track 4-5 years.

Spot on Camder,
One thing to remember is, just because you have an IO loan doesn’t mean you are not able to pay down the principle , it just means that your minimum obligation is the interest component.
For this reason alone we believe that P&I is too restrictive as it reduces your available limit to redraw later on to invest again.
Personally I would prefer to just redraw the available funds rather than go back to the bank and ask for an extension.
Steve – when you say you pay down the principle on an IP, I’m assuming only after you have no more PPOR debt?
