There's several investment property magazines out every month which have dozens of investor profiles, strategies, Q&As etc which can be a good starting point as well as all the post on this forum and others.Good luck!

I'm guessing from an investment /financial perspective it's not really a smart decision but from a lifestyle point of view I don't think you can go wrong!

Negative gearing has it’s place in an investment strategy, but it’s pointless to buy a property solely for tax deduction purposes.

Ideally you want your…[Read more]

I think most of the experienced investors in the forum would say to pay down the personal (non-deductible!) loans first, then focus on continuing to build up your savings for a deposit.…[Read more]

But if you can get something at trade price that a painter recommends then you can't really go past that.
