BTW, already have done suggestions made concerning expressing interets etc with RE agents but through several experiences we’ve had, the dealings have been negative and almost arrogant where they think they’re doing you a favour.. They’re not selling as much as they’s like. That’s a fact.

You say for the “first” year..no one has a crystal ball but I am also aware that I should be looking at loans that are appropriate for long term benefits/suitability. When banks such as ANZ give a promo for the first year, does it mean that something’s around the corner that we should be wary of??
