If the repairs are being done to bring it back to the standard it was when first rented the they are deductable.

Otherwise as Monopoly suggested they may offset the CGT – or even a combination of both.

It is exactly how the Chinese spoke in Malaysia when we lived there – they called it Manglish…..some suggested this meant Malay English others Mangled English!

They poke more fun at it than we do!

Karen,

This is correct.

It is considered as paying off the loan. Taking it back out is seen as a new loan and the purpose wil determine the deductibility.

Redraw is the same.

An offset is the only safe place.

You need to speak to a mortgage broker. There are too many variables to give a reasonable reply here given the information provided.

Perhaps you have enough equity for a loan? If rent is high enough to service the debt?

Not all lenders are the same.

Some are very flexible – esp if LMI isn’t required.

I have a LODOC/NODOC at 6.85%…possibly the same product.

It will be Mortgage Insured even below 80%

Also check the deferred establishment fee.

It is a great product all the same – esp the NODOC which has got several of my clients out of bother in the past.

After the IO period has finished the repayments are caculated over the remaining term.

This means the P&I repayments will be higher as the loan has 5 years less term to be repaid than would have been the case had you not gone IO.

This can often be enough to make serviceability fail if things were close to start with.

Hope my explanation makes…[Read more]

I have had clients ask for a IO loan and the MI came back with the requirement for a P&I product.

Your broker may be telling the truth here mate.

Nope.

Only repairs to bring the property back to the condition it was in when it was first rented.

All is not lost though. Can claim it against CGT when you do sell – if CGT is payable.

Explain the reasons why.

Unless the money is spent repairing wear and tear or damage as a result of tenancy money spent isn’t deductable.

So in a year or two you should be able to claim minor repairs.

That poor lady that sued mcdonalds has been ridiculed by them as part of their defence against the lawsuit.

Is a hard one for sure.

I am not sure how I would have approached it.

Glad I wasn’t the agent involved.

Go for 30 years.

You can pay more as you choose.

But your minimum payment will be lower which is handy when planning for your next purchases.

Equity.

As the values of the properties rise, the loan can be increased and the new amount used as a deposit.
