I believe you will NOT regret too.If you have enough income to cover another 2% hike in interest, there's no reason to sell. There's a small chance prices will drop after FHOG ends, but the way I see it, there's a bigger chance of them rising in the near future (my personal view is entry level prices will drop just a…[Read more]

Student accommodation too.My sentiment/observation with this sort of investment is1. You have too little control over what fees they charge and what CB rules they put down2. A lot of people trying to sell at any one time3. Aimed at at best "lazy investors" market (fair enough…[Read more]

I personally believe, for a house at this price range (entry level house), if it's in Mel/Syd/Brisbane, the prices are not going to change much over the next 6 months. Just my personal bel…[Read more]

Much appreciated.I didn't explain well…With Les Paul's position, I think 3 cashflow neurtral properties is quite attainable, and in doing so he'll make his money work very hard for him while taking a small risk (providing he bought the right property). Wouldn't you agree? Why hold so much equity and…[Read more]

With the equity and cash you probably can buy 3 houses if not more (30% deposit on each). 1. property selection is important – buy only investment grade property2. if you're new to…[Read more]

Pay off as much as you can on your PPOR. 2. Get a LOC against the equity you have on PPOR (your PPOR now has two loans mortgaged on it)3. Use the LOC to fund new IP deposit+cost (so that all of its…[Read more]
