Instead, set up a line of credit on your IP and use the capital gains to purchase more CF+ve property. Then use a portion of your cashflow to pay off your PPoR mortgage.

Which is ok, we all have to start somewhere. You are keen that is good, but do you have the dedication to stick it out? Right until you have reached your goal?

Its not just a case of buying property and renting it out, hey bingo million dollar portfolio. If you dont know what you’re doing you could…[Read more]

You have to live in the property for 12 months after the purchase date, and then on you can do what you like with the residence. (someone correct me if i’m wrong)

But eventually I would get back up on my feet.

1) Find out where i made the mistake and learn how i can avoid making the same mistake again.
2) Obtain a job where i can earn money to clear my name of bad debt and begin…[Read more]

Rather than just the interest portion of PI. When financed with PI your principal decreases each year because you are paying off… dah! However, with interest only you dont pay anything off your interest, so the interest is always going to be…[Read more]

Looking for 30 mins is great. however, you may not be looking in the right place, or looking hard enough. The 30 second rule may be fine but deals are structured using your imagination not what “rule” says. Sure the 30 sec rule can find you awesome deals… But…[Read more]
