Hi Goldie,

Before I give your question too much thought, can I be so blunt as to ask you about where you will be living, that is, are you yourself going to be renting???? If so, this may affect the decision of what you buy.

Jo

Along the same lines, there are also No Document Loans available.

Hi Tycoon,

I have resigned from my stable job in Adelaide to move to the warmer climate of Cairns and have been thinking along the same lines as you. I saw an accountant about buying property with no job initially, and was told that the banks are happy to lend you money on what is called a low document loan. This…[Read more]

clue: it’s not circular quay

Yeah but the duck pond just doesn’t cut the grade somehow [lmao][lmao][lmao]

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Seriously, if that is the case, why bother with circular quay, surfers or the like??? Maybe these places are…[Read more]

Aceyducey,

I am sorry to say, but I think things have gotten blown out of perspective here. Celivia is right, nowhere did she actually mention the word ethical, although I do see that you could have read it as an implication of such. However, it is simply a case of Celivia voicing her opinion about a common (yet, unquestionably illegal)…[Read more]

Paying them peanuts for their property so YOU can make more profit.
Is that OK?
Hmmm

You know Celivia,
there are some people in here that will more than likely take that as a direct attack on them [blink] or that will think that you have a…[Read more]

I mean, is this question a hypothetical one just to satisfy your curiousity or are you trying to sus out the crowd here, as to whether you should act in a moral or business capacity?

Jo

Is that what happened to you?

Wow Russ,
That was some speech……I don’t think there are religious fanatics that pay the same amount of homage to their Gods!!!! LOL
Seriously, people are entitled to their opinion; there has been no wrong here; just an airy of same.
That was very nice of you to blow wind up/for Steve like that, hope he appreciates it!!!! Or did you get paid…[Read more]

You can view it as “prices dropping” but in actual fact, they are just reflecting the “actual” prices that should have been achieved way back when people were paying ridiculously high prices for your average home. Now that interest rates are uncertain, boom is over, the prices are realigning to more realistic price ranges….no great mystery I…[Read more]

Hi EmZY,

Look, you can go forward, but it depends on how “motivated” you are. I purchased my first property only weeks before turning 18, and I was going to school full time, but working part time, 2-3 jobs!!!
With any luck you are (a) living at home, and (b) getting some sort of study/student benefit (Austudy) whatever.
Anyway, there are…[Read more]

Get a part-time job, save, save, save!!! Make sure your 3.500 earning the maximum interest possible, and keep up the good work. (And…study hard) LOL

Jo

In that case SIS,

Maybe you should wait till you return to decide best way to spend your money. However, paying off your credit card debt, can’t be done soon enough in my opinion.

Good luck,

Jo

Man….typos!!!! I mean “Highly” (at last) [blush2][blush2][blush2][blush2]

Jo

Sorry, meant “higly” not “hardly” doubted.

Good question: would love to know the answer to that myself; I hardly doubt it, but would be only too glad to be proven wrong. And if so, where did they buy??? [blink][blink]

Jo

Elves,

I am not sure if I am to late with my response to your question, as I think you said you had already spent the money in question on property? Is that right? If not, and you are still wanting to know “how to” make use of your funds, I would have to agree with everyone else in here who have repeatedly voiced the “pay off your credit card”…[Read more]

I really love [blink] don’t know why especially, just do.

Cheers,
