    Hi guys, I'm looking at purchasing a unit approx $190 – $200k.

    Will be first purchase, my income after tax is $52,000 – not sure if you guys reading need to know that.

    What type of loan should I be looking for?

    Plan on purchasing another property next year and hopefuly another towards the end of 2010.

    Want to get in before FHOG ends this month; still undecided where to purchase property though. I live in Canberra but there's certainly nothing at that price range, unless I head towards Queanbeyan

    Please all feel welcome to give me advice

    Personally i would always look for an interest only loan with 100% offset as it gives flexibility and allows for a change in your own circumstances.

    If you are looking to repeat your purchases over the coming months / years there maybe some mileage in looking at one or two of the Pro packs.

    I agree. IO loan with 100% offset with a major bank.

    Yes agree also, IO is great. Especially for investment property later on after the FHOG obligations etc

     Maybe worth looking at pre-locking in a fixed interest rate unless you have the capacity for the interest rates to
    rise by maybe 2-4%(purely speculation however they are only heading one way…..)
