Currently I only own one IP and recently got mortgage approval/valuation done. Turned out to be "good news" that is 15% increase in value than purchase value (off-plan). And I got loan to the market value...so i can use the excess 80% x 15% of the current value to purchase more properties...( i guess that's how everyone is purchasing more and more properties, through capital growth and gets more loans off bank...
One problem which i couldn't work out is: Each property gets re-valued when IO loan's period expires and changing institution. If the market unfortunately declines, the property value will decline in certain % as well...if that happens, IP1 will need either more loan (80%+) or payout the difference...
BUT if IP2 bought from IP1's equity...and IP3 from both IP1+2 and so on...when the market declines, how is it possible to hold onto them? How do people hold onto 5 properties through cycles with IO repayment?
Seem to me no matter what price purchase at, we all want to get more equity during boom period, eventually the cycle will reach its trough and loan is due for re-value at that period...doesnt that force people to sell one or two of their IP to keep up with other IPs?
There must be something missing that i don't know of!
