And it’s with commercial loan not residential.

If you have limited budget, why don’t you go regional towns to have a look?
You will be surprised!

? capital growth by negative gearing? positive cashflow? quick cash? …etc.

And what’s the reason that you would want to focus on studio apartments?

I think 2 bedroom apartment will be a better idea.

PRO’s – cheaper
CON’s – bank doesnt like it
Melbourne CBD oversupply risk
no capital growth
harder to resell it

However, there are still ways to make it work.
It really depends on your strategy :)

To me, to go to a live workshop is a lot better than reading books at home.I started with Steve's book and after that I was very interested in property investment.Although I read his book few times but it still didn't give me a clear idea how to start.You get more out of a live workshop than watching…[Read more]
