Hi noincome
Welcome aboard.
You need at least a 5% deposit and funds to cover costs – which as an estimate will be around 5% of the purchase price. So as a bare minimum – aim to come up with 10% of the purchase price.
Queanbeyan, NSW can be good – if you can pick up a cheap 2 bedroom unit in need of cosmetic renos you can add some equity quite quickly.
Logan in QLD has cheapies with decent yields.
North Adelaide is similar.
West Sydney is the same – but probably a bit more expensive these days compared to a few years ago.
Having said that, there's hundreds of areas that fit your description – so you'll need to narrow down your search.
Cheers

Is it just me or does there seem to be more of these property investment groups popping up every day?
Hi propgirl – welcome aboard. This forum is a great free resource on all things property investing. There's also a lot of good books out there. I'd spend some time getting clued up – work out exactly what you want to get out of property investing and then devise a strategy.
Cheers

Don't go above 90% with Homeside – even with LMI. Credit scoring becomes harsh.

Hi Matt
Welcome aboard.
You'll need to be more specific about the area that you're looking to invest – BA's focus on particular areas.

Hi Adam
That's the issue – a lot of people say "you should set up a trust" but a lot don't have a clue why.
This often results in new investors spending heaps on setting up complex structures that were not ideal for them.
A good resource is trust magic by Gatherum-Goss.

Anyone would light to shed the lights on current "best" rate for BIG4
1% off the SVR with ANZ is good. If you want lower, than maybe look at a no frills online budget lender like Ubank but be prepared to lose some of the features/policies that you enjoy now.

Shouldn't be too hard – just take in your last two years of financials so they can see what's been done previously.

With loan account 1 above – you should also incorporate the purchase costs of the IP such as stamp duty which will take it closer to 25% of the properties value.

That's a decent rate anyway – I wouldn't worry too much. It's hard to get a 1% discount with them these days. Not like 18 months ago when it was the norm.

Hi there
I'm not an accountant so won't get into the specifics of your taxation related questions.
As a general comment though – I would never purchase an IP with the main motivator being to reduce your tax billed. The logic is flawed – you need to lose a dollar to get 40 cents back.
While the tax cuts associated with IPs are fantastic, I'd only view them as an added bonus.

With auctions, you generally pay your deposit and exchange on the day – if you can't proceed with the purchase, you'll find yourself in a bit of trouble.
Best to get a preapproval in place just as added reassurance.
Best of luck!

Hi Luke
The property might increase in value over time, you might renovate and manufacture equity or there could be a combination of both.

Hi Andy
Welcome aboard.
I'm a fan of purchasing a PPOR first and then using it to leverage into property investing.
If you can find something that you can renovate and add value to, you can get it revalued and hopefully access the newly created equity to use as the deposit/costs on your first IP.
Ive seen a lot of young couples start out this way.

Yep, agree with Terry – interest only repayments can enhance your borrowing capacity with some lenders as they take into account the actual monthly repayments.

Hi Luke
Usually when the only debt they have left is IP related – then they might start paying it off.

Yep, 4 hours does seem to be the magic number when it comes to sleep – and you're right, I'm surprised that I'm still able to get on with things. Oh well, it's all worth it!

Hi Luke
Interest only loans can be set up for various terms depending on the lender – 5 years is quite normal. Some will go up to 15.
Most investors roll over to another IO period once the existing expires.
Sounds like IO with offset is the way to go for you.
Cheers
