This strategy is not for everyone due to the following reasons :

You will still be paying interest on the loan, which can add up over time.

If property values go down, you could end up owing more money on your loan than your properties are worth.

You may not be able to refinance your loan after the interest-only period ends.

However, if done right, it is the most leveraging option one can have. 😊


I personally do it in hybrid mode. Part fixed rate interest only, and part variable. Paying down the variable part little by little and refinance every year to shrink down the interest rate only part.

[Ron-teld]

This is what I used 20 odd years ago. Back then interest only loans had a 15 year term then reverting to a P&I loan. The idea was to buy 2 properties that would go up in value more than the cost of holding them. After 15 -20 years sell one to pay of the other and you saved 10-15 years in owning the property.

Down side is if you don't sell one to pay off the other payments are high due to now only having a 15 year P&I loan to pay the balance. But now I know how inflation helps those with assets the remaining debt is not much in todays money.

[Infamoustr]

Just a little critique. The comparison wasnt done completely. What were the total interest repayments at the end of 30 years + the initial loan amount. Then compare the p & i vs interest only.

[dunnyroll]

Lenders will assume P+I when calculating your serviceability so paying interest only isn't going to increase your buying power, unfortunately.

[vguzman]

Im 30 now and in 30 years i’ll be 60. I’ll have millions in my bank account but will be dying soon.

Is it worth it? Did you enjoy your life?

I know lots of people with $1M loans paying $65k of interest a year with current 6.5% interest. (There are almost dying as well and they will endure that for 30 years.)

Money and having lots of properties will not give you happiness if you trade your life for them. I work with dying people so I know where all of us will end up.

My suggestion is, live within your means. Buy a small house that is just enough for what you need. Pay off your debts early and enjoy your life. ❤

[Milzy]

Yeh, like others here, i can't find a lender where the P&I rates versus the interest only rates are such that you pay less on interest only. i can only find ones where you pay more on interest only for the exact same loan. Can you please explain Ravi. what am i/we missing?

[vignesh]

Doesn't add up at all, interest only loans have higher rates. Also being "filthy rich" in 30 years from now is actually a shit life, my money is worth way more to me when I am younger than having a 1% level of filthy richness when i am old

[funkzsnoopy]

Yea good but what you forgot to mention is that you will need 5k monthly minimum to keep/maintain those 2 properties (negative gearing + council fees + insurance).

[PerthYouthFilmAcademy]

But the difference between Principle and interest only is like $5 a week on a 500.000 loan .

[DominicVella-iv]

Yes, just remember to note to new investors $1, 000, 000 in 15 years is more like having $633, 000 today.

[matthew]

I'm not sure that Ravi is aware of all the figures which need to be included in such an analysis. In Victoria there are taxes each year on investment properties. Capital gains tax needs to be paid on the sale of the investment property.

[Nerdificationing]

If your property doesn't increase in value during the interest-only period, you won't build up any equity. This can put you at risk if there's a market downturn, or your circumstances change and you want to sell.

[mpr]

Doesn't work in this era.
PPOR loan rate for P&I is 6.1%.
Investment loan rate for P&I is 6.5%.
Investment loan rate for Interest only loan is 6.7%.
The increase in rate for interest only loans kills this plan.

[sandyfriends]

Awesome explanation 👏👏 Where can I get the calculator that you are mentioning here ?

[broxs]

What about how interest only reduces your borrowing capacity

[jamiemckeen]

What if the market will not facilitate capital growth and flat lines

[sunyoungdib]

What about taxes when you sell? As an investment property don’t you have to pay a lot of tax when you sell?

[victorbeltrame]

Can you share the links to your calculators, please?

[officialspock]

I don't agree to this, doesn't make sense, IO reduces your borrowing, so you still can't buy more IP

[maameammaowusu]

Perhaps a query, are we really facing an Aussie housing market where in 30years a property will cost $6-8million? 😮😢
Perhaps the return figure was too high, you did say 3 - 6% towards the end. I think the $8million figure lost me but I really value the mindset of being debt accumulation phase to acquire assets vs debt reduction. It is helpful to framework.
