What is the best way to structure cash positive investment loans - interest only line of credit, interest only fixed?

Q.

What is the best way to structure cash positive investment loans - interest only line of credit, interest only fixed? Do I pay off the investment properties one by one? What name is best to put the investment properties in - own name, a business name or a trust name?



A.

There are two schools of thought. One option is to use interest only to maximise the amount of cash you have available to invest elsewhere; the other is to use P&I so the debt reduces and the equity in the properties build up. Your Adviser will be able to guide you and is also the person to suggest what name the properties should be in.
