    Basic variable rate loan with redraw?

    Mate, you are a legend! Short and sweet summary... This is exactly what I was suspecting.... just getting reasonable renew rate from CBA is probably a good option.... PS My CBA lender from 3 years ago is now a branch manager - good for him! I've called bank and they told me a new loan...

    Basic variable rate loan with redraw?

    Do I get it right this is ABL: http://www.ablehomeloans.net.au/page/products.html Looks a bit scary, very basic website - like a garage lender... no PDS, no rates, no fees - just contact us for all information... Are they safe? Perhaps you are talking about Adelaide Bank?

    Basic variable rate loan with redraw?

    Hi Brett, I understand the following: 1. Offset allows me to keep the initial dept, so I can rent the place and claim neg gearing. 2. Offset is more conviniet so I don't need to move funds between accounts all the time. I am with CBA now and their "MISA account" sucks big time, they call...

    Basic variable rate loan with redraw?

    Hi Rolf, I most likely will still be living there in 5 years. In the same time I want to keep the door open for renting it out. This makes interest only and offset account a preference... In the same time I don't want to overpay for this feature. I've tried to rent out my PPOR 3 years ago...

    Point Cook Vs the East

    I only saw one proper beach on the West, it's Williamstown. Do I miss something? For example, does Altona actually classifies as a beach??? With all the smelly seaweeds, jellyfish and shalow water? Does anyone actually swims there?

    seaford vic gaining?

    Hmmm, the house isn't that great but they have a private tennis court... Should this happens on quiet street next to the beach(as advertised!) , 795k will be a good price. Unfortunately this one is at the wrong side of the freeway. "just moments to the beach???" BS! Good luck with getting that...

    seaford vic gaining?

    You don't need to convince me. I never argued there is a big difference :) And yes, you will rarely see me around the pier in summer. Safeway is better if you want an easy parking and don't want to cross the road without the traffic lights. Otherwise plenty of really quet spots...

    seaford vic gaining?

    Well, if you think Patterson Lakes is filled with bogans or Claude st belongs to beachside Seaford - that's OK but I beg to differ :) Hey, IMO even local schools are mostly not "bad" - they are just remarkable average, apart from a few bad ones. Trouble is to find a good school. Are you...
