I am just about to buy my first property with my partner. The plan is to live in this property as it is in a regional location (where I already live) and will save us bout 100 dollars a week compared to renting. The plan is to live in this property and do renovations as we go to increase the value but ultimately for an investment purpose.…[Read more]

I want to make sure I get the right start however and if the capital growth elsewhere is going to be much better and I can get a buyers agent to assist then I would be happy to pay the fee.

I’m a first time investor and finally getting to a point where I have enough for a deposit on a IP. I’ve been doing lots of reading and know that there are other areas that seem to be growing better than where I live in regional Vic. One such area is south east Queensland.

As I don’t live up there and have never bought an IP before I…[Read more]

And am considering living in it as it is cheaper to pay off a mortgage than rent.

I guess that takes me back to the drawing board of options 2 and 3

I know that LMI is added if you don’t have an 80% deposit for a lot of the banks. What I would like to know is whether you can borrow the stamp duty and legal costs etc.
For instance if I buy a $200,000 home. And I manage to scrape enough together to get the $40,000 deposit but don’t have the extra for the stamp duty and solicitors fee…[Read more]

“Like other have said I kept my wallet closed for the day and am now doing my own research into things but apparently it has been beaten in the court system in Australia.”

It should have said “but apparently it hasn’t een beaten in the court system in Australia.”

Sorry for any confusion

I have enjoyed ready your advice on many of the posts on this forum and find it really helpful. I am definitely caught up in the fear trap of asset protection. I will start work as a doctor next year and realise it is a vulnerable profession so am more conscious of how I protect my assets. Having said that I…[Read more]

She patented the idea in Australia for the Vestey trust and asset protection which like the others said involved putting a caveat on the property title. Apparently you can…[Read more]

Im new to investing and just trying to work out all the fees that you need to consider when buying property. Im trying to work out whether certain properties are positively or negatively geared.
