    Hello to you all….

    I have couple of questions and would be very grateful for any advice given. I have recently, like many out there, completed Steve’s book but I am still in the learning stage have a lot of questions/concerns.

    Firstly my partner and I have been in our first home (borrowed $207000 now valued at over $320000) for about 18 months we have spent some $20K on renovations and have found the bank willing to fund an investment loan. we have no debts outside our home loan and within the next 2 years I will be receiving a gift of some 80K to 100K.

    Now should I get in on the investments now, wait till the money comes in and not have to borrow over %100 for the loan or use the money to pay off my current home loan and borrow from the equity?

    Secondly has anyone out there heard of this place

    http://www.theinvestorsclub.com.au

    I am a glass half full person and find there claims a bit dodgy.

    Regards
    Thierry

    Welcome to the Boards Thierry. Do a search on The Investors Club as there has been quite a bit of discussion on them.[glum]

    Hi Slayer and welcome to the forum,
    If i was in your shoes id be thinking of investing now using the equity in your ppor as i expect and hope housing prices will be higher in two years than they are now.
    Which will give you hopefully equity as well as the 80-100 large your getting. Also the interest on your current ppor is not tax deductible so paying that loan down when you get the gift money would save you a lot of interest.
    Again this is just my thoughts and there is some good finance advisers around which could be of bennefeit to go see.

    Regards Risky
