    There is no better time to start your investing journey than now… [buz2]

    90% (LVR) x $220K = $198K less $187K (existing loan) gives you around $11K equity. You may need to save more, or look to use OPM, or look hard for low or nothing down deals.

    Hope this helps.

    Kill the credit card debt and use those extra payments as savings. That will make your investing much easier!

    It would probably be best to keep paying as much as your can off your loan (as it is not deductible), and then build up a bit more equity. Hold on to your excitement, your nearly into your second one.

    well done, lots of people never get there own home purchased – let the dust settle – your on a reasonable income, as Terry said, pay as much of as you can, then look to use this equity to purchase an investment a little later on.

    cheers

    It sounds like this can be structured pretty easily. If you went ahead now, it looks like you will be up for some mortgage insurance. Some people do not mind paying this if it is a means to an end.

    Thanks all for your advice. Will build up more equity I think and get rid of my CC debt. Will aim for mid year I think. Thanks again.
    Will
