    Hi I’m Pammy,I have just joined, Good to be hear.
    I have two investment properties, and I don’t own my own home. I rent and my rent
    is very cheap $70.00 a week. So I stay put.
    My home loans are P.I. and I owe around
    $500,000.00. The two properties combined are
    worth 750,000.00. So I only have about $250,000.00 equity. The rent I receive is
    only 24,700.00 p.a and my loan payments are
    around $37,248.00. So as you can see I’m pretty heavly geared at around $12,548.00 a year I add to the loan.
    Do you think I should maybe make the loans I.O. or keep it the same. Also with such a big negitivly geared loan, would this
    reck my chances to maybe buy another property soon.
    Does any one have any comment on should I
    maybe sell one property and buy something
    cheaper and try and positivly gear it,
    Thanks Pammy [:D]

    Hi Pammy,

    Last post for the night.

    Welcome to the forum!

    My thoughts are that if all you did was make money, then you’d have to make money!

    The problem with -ve gearing is that it forces you to stay in your job to earn enough money to fund the -ve cashflow and also create income to soak up the tax losses.

    Here are four possible options:

    1. Pay off your loans to make them +ve cashflow
    2. Redraw your equity and invest it in +ve cashflow property to balance out the -ve
    3. Sell your property, pay out your loans and use the balance (after tax) to buy +ve cashflow property
    4. Do nothing… keep the status quo.

    Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for your post.

    Bye,

    Steve McKnight

    Thanks Steve, some good advice, I’m was thinking of trying to buy a property with
    positive cash flow to balance the sums.

    Hi,

    It’s not a matter of where, rather it is a matter of how!

    Find problems and then match them with the appropriate real estate investing solution.

    For example, you can wrap any value property – but the real art is finding a client that wants the property and can afford the repayments.

    The problem solving here is finding the client, not the property. Hopefully this illustrates the point that it’s not really a matter of location.

    This theme… problem solving to make money in property, is the central theme of the Property Masters seminar.

    Bye,

    Steve McKnight
