Unsecured loans are around 15% and secured loans are around 7-8% with ANZ.

If what your saying is the accepted norm then that would make repayments (8% bank + 12% investor returns) around 20% p.a. or around a $3000/month kickback to the investor, is that correct?

To make matters worse they say that if I…[Read more]

Overall the best designs seem to be shipping containers incorporated into a more holistic design.
