    Hi,

    A friend of mine has been investing for a little while, and now has 8 properties. I have been asking him a few questions as I’m looking to start, and he has advised me to get Interest Only loans. He says he didn’t at first because he was worried he would not get a capital gain, but now thinks that’s something he can bank on, and the extra cashflow means you can grow faster.

    Thoughts?

    Hi stu_macca,
    Definitely, Interest Only is the way to go. It doesn’t stop you from making excess repayments (if you wish to) but doesn’t force you to make Principal repayments.

    Also structured correctly you can get the best of both worlds.

    Utilise a 100% offset account you will get an interest reduction each month on your savings as well as greater cash flow.
