    He relied on increasing values and being able to refinance when ever prices went up and using the cash generated to fund growth .

    I asked him what if prices didn't go up and you couldn't refinance .

    His answer . " It would be a disaster , but it'll never happen " . I was already not interested but I was surprised how many people remained interested ...

    Anyone can change their name.
    It is very common for people who have been bankrupt before.

    Yep. Even more so with the IO quotas and servicing calc changes, meaning whatever "model" you employ, you need it to cater for the probability of a P&I cliff after 5 years, and an inability to extend or refinance.

    Pay down debt . Dividend reinvestment. Patience.

    The problem with that model ( buy, hold, harvest, buy, hold, harvest ) is that it relies on two things to work . The first thing is equity from growth. The second thing is equity release from growth . Both things require ever increasing borrowing power. The model is dead now. Redundant. Flawed.

    I give you Chris Gray. I give you Nathan Birch as well.... And I give you thousands of investors over the next 2,3,4 years as they arrive at , and fall from the P&I cliff

    These people never pay down debt as they go. These people never retain the income streams from the rents.

    The succesful investor of the future will use a buy, dividend reinvest, harvest approach.
