Speaking of LMI Jamie, are you able to apply for a discount on the LMI if you get your property revalued and it shows it has gone up in the one year?

I guess it may not be that big a deal to the banks considering i get 3 months paid maternity leave from my company and 10 weeks paid from the government….Is the bank really going to ask when i’m going to come back to work after the baby ie 6 weeks, 6…[Read more]

For what the selling agent quoted (“up to $475”) for, the PM said $400 – $430. ….a lesson learnt from me.

p.s. the property agent was very helpful, happy to have a chat so will be good to bounce these rentals off them from time to time…[Read more]

But if i have a good QS then the accountant doesn’t have to do much does he. Anyway if you guys suggest Interest only, as i’ve heard many times, it makes the figures look much better (of course).

I reason i don’t fully trust my figures is that sometimes, the calculators take property cost with and…[Read more]

I would still be in a negative geared situation….
