The mortgage insurance would be applied to a residential property if the loan had to go above 80% in order to realise sufficient deposit for the commercial property.

Current fixed rates on commercial or residential? and over how many years?

Most commercial lenders require at least a 30% deposit. Smaller is achieveable if you are willing to pay.

If you have other property with equity this can be used rather than a deposit.

All things being equal I personally would choose a house.

But things aren’t equal and a unit with a terrific location and outlook might be preferable to an average house.

As in most things it is very much an individual choice.

All the best,

The depreciation schedule can be backdated to when you bought the property.

Your tax returns can be amended for up to four years. Meaning you can submit an amended return when you have the depreciation report.

Keep an eys out on my website- I am adding a section on QS and dep schedules shortly.

Your solicitor should handle this for you.

It is up to the buyer to sort out any issues with the agent and responsibility for the penalty.

Avoiding friction is the agents concern but hardly your responsibility!

If the LOC was big enough then yes.

If you were planning on holding them long term I would go for a loan secured by the new property. You will be able to go further this way.

What is the point?

You are simply transferring debt to make it seem pos cashflow.

If you left the equity where it was and neg geared the second property then what is the difference? Your overall position hasn’t changed – has it?

Remember that any property can be pos cashflow if you have a large enough deposit.

fixed and variable is usually a security factor for people who are concerned with risk.

In my experience the more seasoned buers invariably choose variable whilst people just venturing int property inestment take the fixed option to help with their sense of security.

There is no right or wrong choice.

A LOC is like a credit card. You will pay interest on what is drawn. Your repayments are just the interest plus whatever you choose.

An Offset is another account where you can place funds which “offsets” the interest on the loan. You still have to make the original repayment regardless of the amount in offset – the extra above the interest…[Read more]

If you have that deposit and enough income to service the debt then it should be possible.

You should speak to a broker to find out exactly.

Ok this is a bit tricky to explain so I will do my best.

If you buy a home for $200K with a partner.

You both own 50 of the asset and are entitled to 50% of the rent.

Here is the kicker. When you then go for your next mortgage the bank will assess you at getting 50% of the rent and having 100% of the debt.
