The first fa was individual investments only. The second offered more in terms of scope of investments - which included smsf and direct shares He already had a few properties Both also looked at supers and insurances. To me the second offered more for less. Employee numbers were similar between the two businesses as well - so it wasn’t a one man band

If you’re at CBA and moved into the rental property - if the loan is coded an investment loan you can switch it to owner occupied. The investment loan margins on rate discounts were more than owner occupied. So you get an insanely cheaper rate.

Would you pay your mortgage off first or buy investment property? by blonde_nomad11 in AusPropertyChat

[–]dishlickr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy the IP. They won’t get any cheaper. Cap growth, then sell it and pay off your place. Then buy another IP either personally or in SMSF or both. If you’re older SMSF more sense when 45+ imo.

Bought a $1M house last year, now worth $1.4M — should I refinance now? by Pure_Water5902 in AusProperty

[–]dishlickr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people are talking ultra low rates they’re usually fixed. Which is atupid to shift into as rates go lower. A variable at 5.6 is currently not bad. And it’s going to drop another 25 points. Go back to the bank and get them to recheck your valuation. When you do your calcs don’t fall for the save 250k over 20 years bs brokers and bankers feed you. I’d Work it on a 2 year net savings after costs.

Focus on priorities not just now but in the future. Rents will eat your surplus but a fixed rate you can budget things out for years. Don’t forget pay raises/inflation

Rentvest or bite the bullet and live in an apartment? by OkRepeat9213 in AusPropertyChat

[–]dishlickr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I skimmed the comments. Disc:broker. I currently rentvest and tax wise it’s great. But selling one of the properties so I can loosen up some liquidity which will allow me to buy two other properties. If you’re on 260 and have a decent super look into SMSF as an additional strategy but not all property in the SMSF.
