Thanks Kirsti

Hi Rolfe, I have had the loan for approx 15mths. It is my working account. All income in- all expenses out.

Karina, Sorry, My post without reference to your Father's passing appears selfish. The thing is, I hadnt read much past your original story as I was so keen to get in touch with you with a response to it. I have now seen your updated posts & wish to pass on my condolences to you.

Hi, I have been reading threads about this & googling a fair bit on the subject. My PPR is LOC 323K LOC with balance of say 312K leaving 11K excess available. I called westpac to ask about changing to I.O rocket repay loan with offset ( & it has redraw). I assumed I could take the...

Investor 2009: Thank you for responding. You make sense about the cost involved in selling. I have mostly been a lo doc borrower for investing. Whenever I saved 20%, I bought with no real strategy for the short term, only long term growth but now Im impatient and want to create value myself...

Hi, I have hit wall with finance to acquire more property,so now it seems my only option is to sell one or two properties & Re invest with a new strategy. Or, do I sit & wait for more gain? I dont have enough equity or cash to use as 20% deposit for next the purchase as it stands, so even...
