I am loathed to pay the deposit because I would have to save up all…[Read more]

How much are you intending to spend on selective renovations if you're maxed out your borrowings? Also, can you get a personal loan to use for a deposit? I asked a broker this years ago when I didnt want to save a deposit and he pretty much laughed at me.

I was just wondering if you happened to find any tools to help you research the best suburbs?

In some circumstances in a new building the lift maintenance will be covered by the lift contractor for the first year but the second year is when the body corporate's budget needs to be adjusted to cater for it's ongoing maintenance. It's a good…[Read more]

Is a deposit bond able to be used in a situation where you may buy a property for less than it's valued price and use that equity as a deposit? I thought i read something about this recently i.e. property value $200k and you manage to secure it as $190k. Is that $10k able to be used as a deposit?

Thanks

Three questions from a bit of a Newb:

1. How exactly does a deposit bond work. I've guess that it is using the equity in your property but if so, does that mean you are basically taking a loan out for that amount with repayments etc. or is it more of like a guarantee for the bank?

2. PPOR stands for …. ?

3. Is there a shortcut to not…[Read more]

In Queensland you can get hold of the list of owners, referred to as the "roll" be asking the manager for a copy or performing a search of the records at their office. Generally they will give it to you if you are an owner but if…[Read more]
