Some good thoughts on interest only vs P&I loans. We have always done P&I but have been trying to get our heads around the benefits of interest only. Thanks for the reference to some authors – we will get a hold of those books. Thanks Chookie for posting this question.[thumbsupanim]

We have done several renos in Melb over the past 8yrs. However, always keen to know if there are better & cheaper ways of doing things….

1. Title Search will tell you who owns the property.
2. Council Rates will also tell you – however not sure if they will give it out with Privacy Laws – however definetly worth a try.

Happy hunting…[biggrin]

We also found asking ‘how to’ at the tile factory outlet we received great advice and then just did it ourselves. Saved heeps, but don’t forget to water proof – that’s the expensive bit but very easy to do.

Not to mention those stamp duty costs….

We always consider the return based on cash in and cash out. SO how much return on your cash not on the lending!

Can I suggest that you look at the worked examples in Steve’s first book?…[Read more]

Three things really motivate us at the moment.

1. To be able to take the kids on holidays every school holiday, not just the stock standard 4 weeks of annual leave!

2. The choice to work or not work.

3. We just love Property – anything and everything!

Hope this helps – perhaps write your reasons for choosing this investment path and put…[Read more]

These can be quite easily lifted by my husband and fairly easy to operate. Not hard to do yourself.

Good Luck
