I want to be able to pay off as much as I want... Most fixed rate cap the repayments at something like 10k p.a or something...

Is this on a rental?

Never understood the point of interest only...how can it be a a good thing to never own the house and pretty much just pay 'rent' to the bank

This is on my main residence

Interest only and Principal and interest can be essentially the same.

The only difference is that with IO you have the option of putting in less if you want.

I always put in more than i have too, and I can draw it out if i ever needed to.

It gives you the flexibility.

You can always make payments of the 'Principal + Interest' each month on a IO loan

ah I get ya. You could always refinance to 20-25yrs as opposed to 30yrs? That would make it a bigger repayment each month.

+1 will be refinancing my investment to an Interest only and P&I for my house

I already pay more than the minimum, the idea is to do that at the lowest possible interest rate while not being limited to how much you can put on the loan, over the minimum

Yeah that I get, you've got it sitting there in redraw... So say your loan was $500k, but you have $300k that you've paid into the loan account, which you can access if you need /want it... But you're paying interest only for the remaining $200k.

Thats pretty much what I'm doing only not with an interest only loan... My loan let's me take as much or as little as I want at any time with no fees so it's essentially my savings account now too... I just don't plan to touch the money I've got in redraw unless it's to buy another house

My boss has been in the FIFO professional game for 10yrs.

Had invested all his money into stock market. Made an absolute killing.

Would tell me stories how he would drop $60k in one company & double it in 3 months time etc

yet is still working.

lemme guess, wife at home no work?

how many jetskis?

Yeah so refinance for a shorter period of time; ie.

$500k @ 30yrs @ 4.95% P&I = $2,669/month

$500k @ 25yrs @ 4.95% P&I = $2,909/month

Well one significant difference is if you keep paying IO you still owe your initial loan at the end so PI is always better if possible

Ham might know but I thought you could only do IO for a set amount of years?

Yup, thats why I put in the P&I amount

It just gives you the option to put in less or redraw more should you ever need too

Nah can do IOL as a line of credit facility over standard contract length.

It's not something we ever recommend for owner occupiers or amateur investors.

Most loans revert to P&I after 5 years max

Bad idea, because risk.

I deal with people every day who were in dezz's position (dezz used as example as pat's comment directed towards him) then got sick, injured, fired etc etc...

You never know what the future holds.

Offset account, had the same thing on my loan

Oh I didn't know, the 5 year thing is what I thought was the rule for everyone. I do P&i cos my aversion to debt

It's the general rule for most loans with an IOL component.

Yeah revert to P&I and higher payment required to make up for the 5yrs of interest only.

$500k @ 25yrs @ 4.95% P&I = $2,909/month

I don't see the point in that when I can pay as much as I want at the moment, but if something were to happen, my minimum is lower than it would be with your example above... Just need to get the interest rate lower to smash it even quicker...

This, doesn't make any sense to raise your minimum required payment if you're repayments aren't capped.

You can come live with me if shit happens Dezz

Monica. We'd be combining the awesome bachelor pad potential we both have at the moment, but both seem to get nothing out of.. It'll save us the hassle of sending eachother snaps telling how poor our love lives are..

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
