Propertunity really gave a great explanation on negative gearing in a recent post. I read a book by Margaret Lomas, but I became utterly confused with the maths. So great job Propertunity
We've just brought our 1st PPOR. Our strategy is to pay off the interest and the principle on our loan so that the loan eventually gets to a manageable size. After 5 years we would like to rent it out and use neg gearing.
My question is should I put all my savings into paying down my PPOR first? Or should I do both, pay off the IO loan on the PPOR and at the same time save for a 20% deposit on the future IP? This second option might be more challenging
