    Investing in low capital growth areas

    Reply: 2.1.1 From: Kellie Dutton Peter Your strategy entirely depends on what you want to achieve, there are no right or wrong answers here. Cashflow is a wonderful thing, even in low cap gain areas, if the properties are always going to rent well it's a no brainer, buy it and forget about...

    Wraps and Investors

    Reply: 1.1.1.1.1 From: Kellie Dutton TH I think a RE licence might be overkill, and I certainly don't think you need one in this situation but then don't quote me on that. You are acting in a capacity that could be construed in a number of ways, maybe consultant, maybe financial advisor...

    "IO LOANS,MAXIMUM OF 5 YEARS?"

    Reply: 1.1.2.1 From: Kellie Dutton Lotana I'm with Rolf, most lenders will be happy to re-negotiate your loan at the end of the IO period. FYI most lenders are only doing 5 year IO then revert to P&I, that's just standard. If you are considering further investments in reality you won't...

    Fixed or Variable Rates

    Reply: 3.1.1 From: Kellie Dutton Hi Fixed rates are still considerably higher than variable, less so % wise than before the rate rise but still quite a bit higher. In the next 12 months (and this is personal opinion, not broker opinion) I don't believe variable rates will increase to the...

    Worried about not qualifying for a loan

    Reply: 1.1.1.1.1.1 From: Kellie Dutton Roger From the sounds of it you are not self employed or PAYG????? That being so, a LoDoc product will probably not be suitable for you. LoDoc products also usually come with a policy of great credit rating. Yes there are lenders who will do credit...

    Sell in Bondi Junction???

    Reply: 2.1 From: Kellie Dutton I don't think that a Westfield in Bondi is going to make much difference to values at all, it has good cap growth, has for a while and that's not likely to change in the near future, a shopping centre is not going to be the 'attraction' for Bondi, people want to...

    Question for Jeremy

    Reply: 1 From: Kellie Dutton Jenny Not answering this for him but to give you a basic idea..... You do not pay double tax. The US has a tax treaty with us so basically you either pay tax in the US or here, still need to file returns in the US but if tax is paid there on income then you...

    Ready Credit...?

    Reply: 2.1.1.1.1 From: Kellie Dutton Owen you are right, most lenders calculate a repayment factor into servicability on the total credit card limit. Works to advantage though if you don't quite meet criteria with massive c/c limits, you can simply have them reduced and hey presto! they...

    Selling House via agents

    Reply: 1.1 From: Kellie Dutton Richey I think you need to make a decision straight up, are you prepared to put the work into selling it yourself, if you aren't then live with an agent. I don't think agents always work in your best interest, they have their comm. in mind and lets face it...

    What exactly is Due Diligence?

    Reply: 1.1 From: Kellie Dutton Dan I certainly can't give you the answer to what the common understood meaning of what due diligence is, other than to say I believe it means different things to different investors. Some spend weeks doing research on a proposed investment, others look at the...
