Hello Lancehater,

Currently it is how I've structured three IP's with the decision to do so predominantly based on the assumption that reducing mortgages in the traditional manner was the best way forward. Having said that though, in my circumstances it does not allow any…[Read more]

Thank you. I completely agree with your comment and can understand how frustrating it would be, the main reason why I haven’t sent an unsolicited PM and will not do so. I am waiting until it is okayed by one of the guys that responded.

I have read the linked blog entry and it definitely sounds as if interest only will allow the flexibility for us to keep moving forward, I crunched the numbers last night and if we continue to pay the principal into the offset account, we should be able build up capital much quicker than what we are achieving now.

This is purely anecdotal based on my observation and interaction with others, but the market seems to have eased off a bit, there are a few developments occurring at present (residential and commercial) and the shopping centre in South Hedland has undergone some expansion.

Apologies if it sounded as though I made a generalisation about brokers,…[Read more]

I do believe that I will need a mortgage broker in the near future, but right now I need to chat with someone about the best way for me to move forward without any hard sell, I have been way too passive in my planning and want to get on top of it so I can keep moving forward. 

I am located in Port Hedland and I do need to be more…[Read more]

I want to explore the options of refinancing the mortgages to interest only and to ascertain if there are better rates out there that will suit my circumstances. I don’t believe that I am going about my financing as effectively as I should be which is also applicable to my taxation strategy.

I am thinking that I need to consult…[Read more]
