Thank you for the advice, it is…[Read more]

Yeah, I was talking about the buy and hold strategy (ie. trying to get positive cashflow from rent). But as I said, seems very hard to find a property that is cheap enough for the rent to outweigh any interest repayments.

Could you be more specific as to the other strategies that are looking good? Perhaps now as the interest rates…[Read more]
