Here is  a review of the game:

I think the benefit of the game is that it triggers philosophies of investing… Kinda simplifies everything

Tommy gun.

I think maybe yes, although I am not a position to offer a deposit of that size, so I did not investigate this.

Thanks propertunity,

I am aware that you can only claim FHOB if the property is bought in personal names… My idea is that once you have lived in it for 6 months and claim the FHOB, that you then transfer the property into a discretionry trust which would be set up 6 months after you lived in the property, thus meeting all the criteria for FHOB.  Money from the $14,000 can be put aside to set up this trust.

I am not sure whether this idea is feasible, but it would make use of the FHOB???

Hey Andy,

I think was thinking of doing the same thing…. My idea differs slighty in that I want to use a trust structure:

So the process looks like this:
1. Purchase property
2. Live in it for 6 months and claim FHOB
3. Use money left over from FHOB to set up a trust and place property into it.
4. Property portfolio begins

This way I can access the 14,000 and begin portfolio too.

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated

Leumy

Can I suggest taking a look at other threads on here in relation to your questions.  In fact, I think there is another thread which has a similar title.  There is loads of information on here and I think you questions may already be answered.

Well I'm not sure many posters have done this:

Sold my car (for the sake of investing) and now share one with my partner and guess what?? this arrangement actually works.  Initally I never thought it would, but it's fine and we save hundreds a year.  Unfortunatly we went for her car whihc is a corrolla but at least its fuel effiecent.   If you can survive on one car then do it!
