If you are a First Home Buyer or Owner Occupier living in the Bundaberg or Hervey Bay areas, we can help you get ahead of the curve.
1. Build one of our Primary and Secondary Dwellings . Depending on the vacant lot you buy , you should expect the total price to be around 1.1 Million in Hervey Bay ( Nikenbah) and 1.2 Million in Bundaberg ( Bargara, Innes Park, Coral Cove or Eliott Heads)
2. Live in the house and rent out the granny flat .
The rent from the granny flat ($550-600 per week) will give you at least $2200 per month in additional income which you can use to make extra repayments on the mortgage.
By doing so, you'll pay the property off in about 16.5 years instead of 30 years and save more than 635K of total repayments - all entirely CGT free .
3. Don't believe us? See for yourself.... In the example we have assumed you have spent $1.2 Million and borrowed a 90% LVR loan of $1,080,000 . We have assumed a 30 year P&I loan and an interest rate of 5.99% P&I ( but you can probably do a bit better and save even more, FYI) Based on those assumptions, if you were to pay $2200 per month extra towards the mortgage ( the rent from the secondary dwelling) you'd save 13 years and 8 months on the 30 year loan term and you'd save over $635,000 in total repayments - all completely CGT free if you ever sell , because it's a Principal Place of Residence . Tell us that isn't worth doing!!!!
