Its always a good time to buy a good deal, just need to find them.
Everything is generally pretty hot right now. I’m not buying as I feel things will cool off with rising interest rates and mortgage stress. I’m looking at the possibilities of a global recession though and seeing what deals that brings.

sampson_701 replied to the topic How much equity do i need? in the forum Help Needed! 8 years ago
I believe banks will let you use 80% of equity, some 90%
So 450-405=
45k x .8 = 36kJust my understanding.
Best advise I can give is get in touch with a good mortgage broker who can really help you out.

Good question – I would be interested to hear what others think.
Very generic answer – whatever creates the most value – but I guess that is what you are asking. See what others houses in the area are selling for with cladding vs weatherboard. I know most people when doing renovations look at a return of $1 spent to return $2-3 so maybe weigh…[Read more]

Well done on your savings. I am by no means an expert but will reply since there are no others yet.
My first IP was bought with 10% deposit and I believe you could even do 5% with guarantor if you wanted to. Steve in his program generally recommends 20% for various reasons.

Hi TM,
I was in your situation less than a year ago. I decided to use a buyers agent not only for their services but also as a learning opportunity. There was so much involved in buying an IP that i didn’t know about. My buyers agent mentored me through everything and decision making. I felt much more at ease that I was starting out on the right…[Read more]

Thanks everyone for the helpful responses. You have all shown me that getting family property tied up in investments is defiantly not the way to go.

Thanks God of money and JacM appreciate your thoughts,
I have read a little into student rentals and a lot of it lines up pretty closely with what you have both said – that it’s usually more drama than profit.

Hi Benny, thanks heaps for your thoughts. Really appreciate it.
The old house appears structurally sound but will defiantly get building report. The current garage is free standing and I don’t believe dual occupancy will be a problem for the area.
