Now what you have said sounds much more like a goal, in comparison to my wishy washy 'goal'! Thank you very much, this is a huge help. Again, this is why now, as you suggested a while back, I want to get a great team of experts to help me, then hopefully I can really nut out my goals adn…[Read more]

I recently asked her, as I am now off probation, if I could go with a lender that isn't one of the big four banks but she recommended against it as this would put a black mark…[Read more]

From being on here it has become apparent that I need to really define what my goal is, but I suppose it is to build wealth, so when I am old and grey I have financial security and also a home that is paid off to live in, and possibly a nice little holiday house somewhere. Is…[Read more]

Well I think I am similar to you, so far the intention for my goal has been equity, but hearing what you have said about cash flow makes sense. I guess this highlights the need to me to meet with a broker that can help me develop an investment strategy and define my goals like freckle said. Also, you're right Im…[Read more]

Is that Richard Taylor pure talking about?

Of course I want to be surrounded and advised by people who are experts and can educate me and guide me on investing. However, I feel like I might be too far in the deep end with my broker now to switch, as I have already signed a pre-approval with a bank through her

I was under the impression a mortgage broker only looks after getting finance for you. My broker said she isn't there to offer me financial advice! I thought they were separate?

I am definitely ensuring I get an understanding of "The game" , to extent that my broker told me to stop over analysing everything and just simply buy something. I also have…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your post. This is such super helpful advice and makes complete sense. I think being a female it's been really hard to be clinical about it, and not get emotionally involved, but hearing what you said rings true and I feel like I am definitely getting closer to it.  As of now, I am detaching myself from specific…[Read more]

Thank you, that is wonderful advice, and I like your idea of potentially buying a house and unit, this makes sense.

Also, and excuse me for my ignorance, but I just want to ensure I fully understand capital gains. I understand this is the difference between what it cost me to buy the property and what I make when I sell it, and I…[Read more]
