All Topics / Finance / Which is Better
I have a question for the finance wizards out there I’m not the best when it comes to the technical side.
I have a few extra dollars available each week and a 30-40k bonus comming at the end of the year I’d like to know which option would be best.
I have 3 IP’s
1) cp+ slightly[biggrin]
2)neutral[exhappy]
3) -ve geared not counting depreciation[blush2]
Which one would be best to put the extra cash into given that I pay 47% tax on some of my earnings. [angry2]
Would it be better to pay some off the cp+ property and put the extra earnings into the others or is it better to pay some off the -ve property as I would instantly save 6.72% interest on that money.
Or
Would it be better to put it in shares and even consider a margin loan although I would like to start reducing the loans on the propertys.
Or
Is there a better option again (apart from giving it to all you other property gurus)
The first two propertys have increased in value over the last few years the third I have only recently purchased.
Any help is appreciated.Thanks Dave
Dave,
I would use it to reduce any non deductible debt or home loan debt.
Or I would use it to buy another investment. Perhaps some shares or managed funds or as a deposit on another IP.
Paying off deductible debt is my least favoured option.

I am with Simon on this one.
In saying that it doesnt appear that you have any non deductible debt so maybe a combination of paying down some of the debt for neg geared IP (prefer to see the funds invested in an offset A/c in case you need them again) or maybe even a Tax effective forestry Investment which will reduce your Tax in the current year and may assist in defering it in a year when you income is not so high.

Overall, it wouldn’t matter which property’s loan you put the money into. Your net tax position would be the same. Maybe putting it into a 100% offset account?

If you have a low income spouse then a high yield account in their name would be effective also.

Thanks Simon, Richard, Terry
We do have a block of land we wish to build another IP on at some stage so putting it towards that could be a good option. Might put the extra savings into an offset account and then with the bonus it should be a good deposit on the building costs.
Thanks again
Dave
