Does anyone know where to find the full result of this survey? I'm interested to know where China is? I was expecting China to be ahead of France. I don't understand why they use ratio of house prices to rents. ------------------- AUSTRALIANS love to watch their home values rise but a...

Just a quick question... My friends are selling their PPOR. Their PPOR was previously their IP for 4 years before they moved in and lived in it for the last 5 years (they originally bought it as an IP and had it immediately rented out). Being an IP for the first few years, what percentage of...

Hope somebody could help me clear this up. I bought an IP last year and used the redraw account of my PPOR to pay stamp duty. Is the interest due to this tax deductible? My redraw account doesn't show the total interest per month as it is already incorporated into the total interest of...

We've been living in our PPOR for more than 2 years now. The house beside us has been finished nearly 2 months ago and our new neighbours moved in about a month ago. They have 3 cars... 2 decent ones and one which looks like not road-worthy. Two weeks ago they've started parking the...

Scenario is like this: Value of PPOR = 500K PPOR Loan Balance = 300K (with 100K in redraw) Used 100K from redraw as deposit to buy 600K IP. PPOR Loan Balance is now 400K (0 in redraw) IP Loan Balance is 500K After 3 years… PPOR Loan Balance is still 400K but has 100K in offset...

Our bank informed us that we cannot change our loan payment from P + I to IO. The reason they gave us is our LVR is 85% and there is no LMI on this loan. When we were in process of applying for this loan, they informed us we can change it to IO anytime. We don't think this is fair. They cannot...

I was checking Parklea last week to look for IP. I found that prices of land and houses are cheaper compared to Stanhope Gardens and Kellyville Ridge. Anyone here familiar with this suburb? Any issues or bad things I should know about Parklea?

"The Sydney housing market is in a bind - we have a shortage of housing and huge demand but that isn't going to stop prices declining further. I think we'll see prices fall by another 10 per cent this year - and that's without another interest-rate rise."...

THE weather has been rubbish, the hospitals are crook, the trains are late and crowded, and housing prices are through the roof. Yet Sydney still sparkles in the eyes of more than 10,000 people in 20 countries who have rated it the world's best city for the second year in a row...

I'm looking at this property in Blacktown as an IP. The asking price for this 5 bedroom house is below the market value. I did some checking and found out that a non profit agency purchased a house in that street. This house is now being used as residential home for kids under the Department of...

For example: Current PPOR: Value: 500K Offset: 100K Loan: 350K, 50K redraw If I wanted to buy a new PPOR using the offset (100K) and redraw facility (50K) as deposit, and convert my current PPOR to an IP, would there be a problem if my current loan goes up from 350K to 400K? Come tax...
