    Possible options for a 250K surplus.

    Looking at buying 1 property for 50K cash (possible 2nd Holiday Home or IP not sure yet).

    Leaves 200K.

    What to do with the rest?

    Possible options/choices.

    Loan 1, 700K approx @ 6.4% IO = $3700 per month- fixed for another 18 months- also has an offset account attached to it.

    Loan 2, 100K approx @ 7.4% variable = $700 per month.

     
    Current debt to equity ratio involving these loans and properties is about 50%.

     If you want any more info just ask.

    Best thing to do in the short term is to deposit the funds in an offset account linked to your home.

    You didn't indicate whether the existing loans were for home or IPs.

    The offset account to the fixed account may not be functional or only partial depending on the product and lender

    Hi All

    Simon,
    The existing loans are for IPs.

    Wayne,
    The offset account is 100%.  This was negotiated when the loan was set up.

    Hi Terry,

    I've always been a property man and stayed away from shares and funds because I know absolutely nothing about them.  Property investing gives me enough headaches as it is but times are a changing.

    Can you PM me some more details and I will look into it.

    What country you in now?  A J T?

    I might have some work to throw your way.

    Thanks,

    C2
