This can leave you in a serious negative geared scenario. I’m also not a Westpac fan so would be very cautious about this style of investment.

This left him with a serious negative geared effect. Also, I’m not a big Westpac fan so would be cautious about this type of investment strategy. Mac Jackson[baaa]

Personally I would be shy about doing so. You obviously have to ask yourself “what is in it for me” in terms of return. With no capital gain prospect it would have to have a very rewarding positive cash flow to be remotely considered. Good luck! Mac
