    Hello all,
    Firstly congrats to Steve on his own property success and a wondeful RE forum. What a positive nourishing RE learning environment this is.
    This is a short query as to information on alternative financing for my first property. Although not an IP, I feel I need to secure a roof over my head in which I call my own before I wrap or become a landlord. Ive just begun with the ‘6 month saving record – 3-5% deposit’ to secure a loan from my mortgage broker. Im eligible for FHOG. Maybe I could be a potential wrap customer to someone in my area? I am a full time student with a moderate steady income. Ive been doing my RE homework for the last 12 months and are excited about what lies ahead for a young keen investor.
    Any suggestions on strategies for initial purchase of an owner/occupier for a person in my situation would be greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou and continued success to you all.

    Hi Nick,

    Thanks for your feedback and thanks for making your first post… I hope to ‘see’ more off you on the forum…

    I think that you make a fantastic offer… anybody in Queensland looking for a wrap lead? Perhaps you’d like to leave your e-mail address in a post too.

    Would love to bounce a few ideas off any RE investors in the Gold Coast – Brisbaane region. Cheers.

    P.S sounds like I missed a ‘damn fine’ seminar last weekend. Steve expect to see my smiling face front and centre next time around. [:)]

    Hi Nick,

    My name is Jason and I might be able to help you. When you are looking for a home get the seller to do a “head to head agreement” (general written agreement) with you that the seller will vendor finance the deposit (15% – 20%) to you over say 7 – 10 years period. Then get your broker to find you a financial institution to fund you the rest. The FHOG pays for your legals, loan costs and any thing left over can go towards your deposit.

    With a wrap you will normal pay over the market rate on a house, with the type of transaction that I am suggesting you will pay the market rate or a little below.

    A good friend of mine who is a real estate agent sets these deals up all the time.

    I hope this helps,
