Something you are likely to learn an awful lot more about in your Property Class

It’s all about the Money (I mean, “it’s all about the Borrowings”)


Something you are likely to learn an awful lot more about in your Property Class; Some lenders charge a higher interest rate for investment properties because they say their risk is higher, but shop around and you should be able to get a rate that’s the same as for an owner-occupied property.

One option of particular interest to investors is the interest-only loan, where you don't pay off any of the principal, just the interest. Such a loan can make it easier to estimate the true returns from a property. A tax advantage is that interest payments for investment properties are tax deductible, while payments off the principal are not.

One strategy that is being touted is to take out an interest-only loan and divert the money you would have paid off the principal to your tax-efficient superannuation fund. Upon retirement, you use your super pays off the loan. Remember, though, that this money is locked up until at least age 55 and you won’t have access to it if you strike a cash-flow problem.
