    P&I or IO after 5 years?

    Whatever amount you have in the offset has the exact same effect as having the same amount paid off your loan (assuming it is a 100% offset account). If you have a $300k loan and pay off $100k, you will pay interest on $200k. If you have a $300k loan and have $100k sitting in an offset, you...

    What would you do in my shoes? (Need help with analysis for first time investor)

    The details don't add up. Rented at $370 p/w = $19,240. After playing with your figures, I think you have started with $370, taken off the 10% PM fees, then taken off the $10 loan and trees payment (whatever this is), which would give you the income figure you have provided, but that is...

    You get rich idiots that started with nothing. You get rich idiots that were given everything. You get average idiots that started with nothing. You get average idiots that were given what they have. In short, you get idiots everywhere you go, regardless of their historical financial...

    Obama meets Abbott

    Mate, just stop reading this thread and leave people alone to have a laugh. You've made your point. Once is enough. Now go away. By the way, I'm a Liberal voter and also thought the 'Happy' video was awesome. BR

    Your Opinion on no cash+no lmi or cash buffer and a tad of LMI

    Don't just pick a random figure. Talk to your/a broker and get them to give you the 'best' figure. For not much more LMI, you may be able to to increase your LVR a few %, minimising your cash input. BR

    Your Opinion on no cash+no lmi or cash buffer and a tad of LMI

    I have just done this with my most recent purchase. When I was initially working out figures I was leaning towards 80% to avoid LMI, but after having the effects explained and crunching a few numbers I realised that keeping a larger buffer is a much smarter option (for me). It kept about $25k...

    When you want an IP, not a PPOR. I have no medium-term intention of claiming the FHG under any form. By the time I actually buy a house to live in, who knows what programs will be around. BR
