    Hi all,

    What is everyone’s thoughts on living off a (LOC) line of credit facility whilst investing full time.

    My thoughts are that if you are increasing your asset base by more than your expenditure on a year on year basis, it all looks good.

    To be full time investing with the knowledge that you can say, acquire $1mill of +CF property(diversified of course) in 1 year give or take and a return of say $200-$400 pw to start with in that year, and your debits for the year are say,an average wage of say $30,000 pa from the LOC it looks good, you would only need the LOC payments for max 3 yrs then you would be self funded.

    Or invest the cashflow into other negative geared props in higher cap/growth areas to your benefit. And your LOC income is tax free, then in ten yrs time you have increased both your cashflow, your asset base by millions and have been doing it all for your self, not working for any one else.
    Even if you went half a much as this, I figure you would be in a better position long term.

    Thoughts???[biggrin]

    I think it can work well if done correctly, but be careful. Not having a job may hurt your chances of obtaining (good) finance.

    Yes No docs would work, but may need a large deposit, low docs may also work if the person is willing to exaggerate their income.

    I too am looking at this path, but as you say it very much depends on:
    1. Having a <edited>e load of equity to start with.
    2. Equity base increasing at a faster rate than what you spend/borrow.

    To be full time investing with the knowledge that you can say, acquire $1mill of +CF property(diversified of course) in 1 year

    If you can find $1m of +CF property, please let me know and maybe we can JV that into $2m.

    Have a look at http://www.navra.com.au,I haven’t (yet)had the time to go into his strategies, but they seem to make sense if you have enough equity to start with AND your asset base increases faster than you spend it. Unless this is happening even Steve Navra advises that you are up <edited>e creek.
