Haha. That’s why I love this place, the continuing education. Same to you Don, your input is greatly appreciated also :)

You guys wouldn’t happen to have any thoughts about the North Lakes area in QLD?

I was advised at the time that it’d be better to out 20% down so it would look better to the banks and for serviceability. I was originally wanting to put a 10% down so as to free up more cash for further purchases. Would I have some sort of instant equity from putting a deposit of that size (77k) down together…[Read more]

My first IP settled in February (3,1,2) in a nice suburb 8km out of Adelaide. 1950’s house half reno’d, from what I know it’s a steady growth area. Not exactly in line with my goals in hindsight, but managed to get a 20% deposit down and I think it’d be valued at more than what I bought it for so should be some equity there and has the…[Read more]

Thanks,

Knox.

That was pretty good! Haha. Thanks very much for the link to that, although I may need to read over it a few more times to understand it all a bit better :) AND thank you also PHP for getting back to me! The idea of IO+100% offset makes (a bit) more sense to me now.

Am I right in saying that using this method I’m basically freeing up…[Read more]

*What the pros/cons are of interest only and offset accounts are
*Why I would pay only the interest off of the mortgage?
*Is…[Read more]

Sounds like a great idea! mmm yeah I think the area is predominantly 3 bedders too and there is no room for extensions to the building as it is adjoined to the one next door. The biggest thing i think it has going for it,…[Read more]

Just looking for an opinion on a situation I’m in right now. Firstly I’m a newbie and this is my first post :) I’ve been doing a fair bit of searching and trying to educate myself the past 6 months or so to get into the property investing mindset. But here it is:
