    that was a good explanation of benefits of more frequent payments – but that only works if your loan permits this… Check the loan documents, it may have a specific paragraph that fortnightly and weekly repayments would not speed up the process. This does not appear to be common issue but happens with some smaller lenders.

    Cheers

    this is interesting ‘background reading’…

    I went on such a tour last year and it was interesting to take a first look at properties inland. The reason that I decided not to do any business with them was the gap between spoken promises and paperwork. For example, the “guarantee” of ever-increasing income for 25 years sounds great… but all the paperwork they provided for it was … a one page Lease Agreement?? That is not a guarantee!

    Hi,
    I started looking for properties in NSW country towns. Looks like to satisfy the “11 seconds” rule, it has to be priced at or below $50,000 and that led me to very small towns… Difficulties I see here:
    – low prospects of future capital growth, because population is more or less static;
    – I hear that towns of less the 10,000 people cause problems with lenders;
    – if one (main) employer closes, there will be a long term glut of properties…

    Any experience and advice?
    Thanks,
    Andrei
