    Hello PI,
    I am new to property investing and have bought a couple of apartments off the plan at Casurina with deposit bonds advised from a friend. The combined total of the loans is over 1.5 milliion $$$.
    Unfortunately I am not in a situation to uphold the settlement which is going ahead at the end of July. Can anybody suggest what action I can take without it costing too much money for renigging on the apartments/settlement.

    Thanks in advance.

    Brad

    I would suggest faking your own death. Either that or seek professional legal and/or accounting advice As Soon As Possible! This is not a situation that should be handled by anonymous strangers on the internet.

    Best wishes, F.[cowboy2]

    Speak to a solicitor. You may be able to get out of the contract. If not you will be sued for the 10% deposit and possibly more.

    Hang on, maybe the units are worth more than you purcahsed them for? In that case you can possibly sell before settlement.
