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..

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
