Hi all,
I thought it would be a good idea to put a comprehensive list together of all of the abbreviations that are used in property investing so that people who are new to property investing can have a resource that will enable them to understand what they are reading.
So often we forget that some people don’t have knowledge of the terminology we use and this should be of assistance to them…
I will start the list below and if anyone else can add to it please reply to this thread and by the end of it we should have all of them covered. I’m sure there’s many that I have missed. Also, if there are any corrections to my list feel free to let me know.
Thanks everyone for your input; here’s what I have come up with so far….
CC = Cross collateralisation
CF+ = cash flow positive
CF- = cash Flow negative
IO = Interest only loan
IP = Investment property
LMI = Lenders mortgage insurance
LOC = Line of Credit
LVR = Loan to value ratio
NG = negatively geared
NODOC = no document loan
OA = Offset account
P+I = Principal and interest loan
PG = positively geared
POA = Partial offset account
PPOR = Principal place of residency
RBA = Reserve Bank of Australia
VF = Vendor Finance
Cheers, fudge111

From a newbie, thankyou. It saves me googling to see what some of those mean.
