In cashflow terms the interest repayments are coming from my pocket.In getting finance to buy an IP with extra to pay out the company debt (through a structure),  I am not so concerned about the deductability, more  the knowledge that my hard earned cash is now being used to service a loan that is towards an ap…[Read more]

All in my PPOR) and cashflow poor (enough to satisfy the banks of servicability but not enough to warrant substantial negative gearing).The advent of using multiple trusts to…[Read more]

My intentions therefore are to create a cashflow bias portfolio.The challenge of course, more than ever, is having enough cashflow in the first instance to create the other stream. The deposit is the easy part.It is looking like the only real way to buy multiple properties, each bringing in a…[Read more]

They are great resources for getting the info.Now lets talk about how I should use this information.I need to understand why a piece of information is Good or Bad in reference to being a property investor.For example JacM has a really good post above.

They just want the opportunity to get a return on their cash investment.I appreciate that each project would sit under its own structure. I am assuming the vested parties would all be…[Read more]
