OK here are some figures

(a)Equity
House 1
owe 110,000
est value 350,000

House 2
owe 80,000
est value 240,000

(b) Finance needed
180,000

(c) income
about 45,000

I have already had approval for 180,000 from a lender while I was employed on a similar income but I still want to have finance prepared if the correct deal comes up.

January’s issue of API has an interesting story on holiday rentals. I live in this area and if my memory serves me correct Sunshine Beach has had the highest capital gain over any other suburb on the Sunshine Coast in the last 2-3 years.

Is this a new property? If so the price maybe inflated so the developer makes a profit. I would look at similar established properties in the area and see what there sales data is like

I use one and think it is great. At the moment we have a loan of 83,000 @ 6.75% and have about 20,000 sitting in the offset account. This means we only get interest charged on 63,000. This saves me approx $100 a month. Where else can you get a return of 6.75% for cash at the mo.

However be aware that if you then spend that savings on a new…[Read more]

Personally I fix my interest rates around the 3-5 year mark but this also depends on the interest rate trends at the time.

I am a newbie to this forum but will give you my opinon anyway [:D]
If the prices are around the 75000 mark and you can get 150 pw for them then that is borderline to the 11 sec rule. do your research and crunch your numbers, ask more real estates what their demand for rentals is.
