Any ideas or thoughts on what I should do with my spare $10,000.
1.Give to my AMP super man, would be tax deduction as my wife and I have a partnership can claim 5k each.
2. Put it in our PPOR mortgage. or
3. We settle on our 2nd IP on Wednesday, bank has approved 100% finance 300k plus 15k for s/duty, legals and some maintenance.So pay $10,000 deposit. Loan will be IO. Havn’t signed papers for mortgage yet.
Thanks

In general terms I would suggest put it against home to reduce non-deductible debt – you could always leverage 80% of it on a line of credit for investment purposes.
Mind you in general terms lenders are not really interested in line of credits less than around $20K – a broker will firm up the figure.
But then again you may need a little celebration – so a holiday hmmmmmmmm
Stamp duty isn’t a tax deduction. It only becomes a deduction for the purposes of CGT when you sell. You could think of paying the 10k into your IP maybe
Don’t spend it all at once anyway, robo. IP’s can be expensive to maintain, as is life. I easily spend 10k each year on bills, insurances, car rego, insurance etc. Sometimes, it’s good to have some cash around, so we can feel like we’re not strapped when expenses come in. I also like having cash instead of redrawing money from the IP- I prefer to have privacy away from the bank’s prying eye. [oneeyed]
Whatever you do, don’t use it for the IP. Put it into your PPOR mortgage and borrow the money for the IP. You will be decreasing non deductible debt and increasing deductible debt this way!

Thanks for the input. Nobody has mentioned giving it to AMP Super man. My thought was, He would get 4.5%, tax man 15%. kiss goodbye to 2k, just to get a 10k tax deduction. Also I have lost control of my money, and have to trust him to do something good with it.
Mortgage Adviser,
Is a offset acc the same as a mortgage I can pull the 10k out of if I need it later. Its a NAB Mortgage Choice Package for PPOR.
Thanks

Designate your savings account an offset account – ask your personal banker to set it up. It will then reduce your non deductible interest bill accordingly.

Lucky I am not a financial adviser I only know I like reducing my mortgage. Any personal debt, I tend to worry less about- I know that’s upside down, but it’s my psychology. Mortgages are so HUGE, ythat I try to get them down in every way possible
theres a number of things you can do with $10k, as a big fan of offset accounts, whether im not sure, or if the money is not needed quite yet, i just let it sit there, but as for talking for a holiday, just redraw that money against a line of credit and increase the rental according to how much your weekly (monthly) repayments are, so that at the same time you decrease, non-deductible debt, but also you get a free holiday at your tenants expense, and then later down the track, when you are ready, draw your $10k out and invest into an asset that will out grow profits via capital gains, or through high yielding assets (while at the same time, they are quality assets.)
Cheers,
sis
ps.. if i had the $10k, to be honest, i believe i could purchase a property, buy a nice car, get a holiday, increase my taxable deductions and still get my $10k back again with in just after a year. (and thats with $10k alone… (this may sound a little complex, but all you doing is channeling money and moving it around so quick.))
Hi Mortgage Adviser/Broker,
Will the bank let you have a offset account if your main account is a business account, or would you have to take surplus out of business account into a offset account.
Thanks
Robo
I think you can go 100% offset on your NAB a/c provided the mortgage you have with them isn’t their base variable rate one. I don’t think it matters if it’s business, but if I’m wrong I’m sure someone will correct me.
Nor is Super. I dont like Super. Only worth it if your close to retiring ie.2-3 yrs away. My super after working 15 yrs is a hell of a lot less than my 7 yrs property investing. And I mean a hell of a lot less.

Can you explain more about how you do that Still_In_School? Very interesting I think.
i send jaffasoft a pm, it is very long and sounds complex the pm… (tried to go into very detail, through each point..)
but ill break down on here and through its basics…
* purchase +ve cashflow property [must be passive on, more than 110% finance- (though thats the bench mark, yet were going to put a cash deposit down.)]
* property needs, to go up in value at least 25% (on $50k, property… very easy to achieve – new valu approx = $62,500)
* a minimumal rental of at least $10 increase, only once this has to be done (so this can be done anytime and better close to the end of year)
* minimal repayments (eg.. interest only)
** you want to put your money into the deal, then refinance it out later on, and get your inital capital back out again.. (if not all, get out as much as you can)
** use the intial passive income for the first 10 – 12 months, to purchase a holiday get away… (in our pm, we came up with a figure of around $1000 – $1200 created in passive income)
** now either with the refinanced money, or a simple topup loan, (getting access back to our original capital) use that as part cash deposit for cheap but new car (in our pm, we were able to purchase a new car, up to the value of $15k)
** but instead, of tying up money to purchase new car, lets just use the passive income, that would equate and cover weekly repayments of the new debt, by our new founded passive income. (this protects our orginal capital, and gives us ease and access back to it)
** because we did not tie our capital into a new car, but use passive income to pay against the new weekly repayments, we can simply just access our capital at any time.
** as for new tax benefits and tax reductions, its simply just due because, we purchase an ip (flexible in its way, as it reduces, tax and taxable thresholds.)
sorry guys, not to get into each step, but its complex… and to much detail has to be written for each step… (and i dont want to simply just hand out how you do it, but let you guys, think creatively and work out how else you can do it)
but all were simply doing is channelling money…
in the pm with jaffasoft.. we were able to do more (increase our cashflow by even further, and while at the same time have $2,500 always at hand and at our disposal, in our case… we never used the whole $10k)
