    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I did commit to the loan on my own home fairly recently, so have just shelled out quite a bit in LMI and an am not all that keen to do it again.

    However, I do want to start investing as soon as possible so I’ll make enquiries in six months or so about increasing my loan.
    Thanks again,

    Thanks Terry. It was actually a salesperson at the display village that told me I’d be able to minimise payments on the construction loan whilst I was still in my current place of residence.
    Looks as if it’s not as easy as he made it sound though.
    thanks again.

    The market is not moving up at the moment. Any purchase you make should be considered medium term investing at least.

    My point is that should you decide to save a decent deposit over the next 12 months then I don’t believe that you will be paying a higher price than if you bought today. In fact many people are suggesting that you may even buy cheaper.

    I put it to you that spending 12 months saving and researching your market might be a better strategy than leaping in with 100% borrowed funds now.

    Of course I am no expert ….

    Thanks MortgageHunter, I appreciate your thoughts.
    Although it’s hard when I wanted to get started RIGHT NOW, I think I’ll save for the deposit and take it from there, esp if properties aren’t going to be moving upwards too much in the next 12 months.

    I’m also attracted to Norseman by the cheap prices and high ‘expected’ rents.
    Why walk away from this town? What makes it worse than any other?
