Hi all,
I have recently settled on my latest 3 bed 2bthrm IP in Scarborough in S.E. Qld, 1 street behind the cafes and beach for under 400k, (very happy with it). I have a LOC set up to fund the shortfall on this property with enough funds for 9 yrs not counting rental increases.
I am considering buying another similar property, although that would make my 9 yrs of safety net about 4.5 yrs after covering its shortfall as well, however I happen to think that we are moving into a upward cycle in property at the moment and believe that within a few years I would make enough capital gains to refinance and retake some more equity to prop back up my LOC before it dries up.
My longwinded question is,
To anyone else using this structure is 4 and a half years a decent safety net for covering shortfalls???
The Scarborough IP is my 3rd IP BTW, so I will have others to grab future equity from.
Regards,
Duane.
