    Hi Guys.

    I have been reading this forum for quite some time now and learnt a lot just from your discussions.

    I am currently living on the Gold Coast and was wondering if someone could recommend a good accountant who specialises in property as I will be moving out of my PPOR soon and it will then become my 1st IP.

    My loan at the moment is P&I, should I keep it that way or go with IO. I could cover the costs of P&I quite easily.

    Any advice on the setup I should look at would be greatly appreciated as I have read Steve's books and read alot about different Trusts on this forum.

    Thanks for your help

    Jason

    Jason,
    This is a very wide question, and you have provided very little information about yourself so it is hard to answer what is the best thing for you.  Opinion on P&I and IO loans varies.  Many investors prefer IO because it gives them greater flexibility from a cashflow perspective.  Some people prefer actually paying stuff off.  There are a few different factors which dictate which is best for you, not the least of which is your level of self control.
    You are right to sit down with a good professional who can give you solid advice based on your personal circumstances.  I'm sorry I can't reccomend an accountant for you.  Perhaps someone else can.  Best of luck.
