    Hi All

    I am a Twenty year old who has just finished building my first home. I received the first home buyers grant so i need to stay there for at least six months. My Financial Situation is;

    Property Value = 440,000
    Loan Amount = 402,000, with KeyStart
    Income = 95,000 PA
    Other Debt = Personal loan at $16,000, with CBA

    I am currently throwing all of my money onto the morgage and making extra payments wherever possibe, but would like to get into investing ASAP. I would like to buy an investment property within the next 1.5-2 years on an inerest only loan if that is at all possible…

    My question is, is this realistic or what steps would i need to take to have this happen?

    I have been reading the forums a fair bit but cant find anything close enough to my situation (sorry if i missed it)

    Any help/information would be greatly apprechiated.

    Cheers Nick

    In my opinion, it would be best to clear that personal loan with CBA before you acquire a property investment.  (What is this debt for, by the way?  If it is for a car, had you considered getting a car on a novated lease instead as a means of reducing your taxable income?)

    After that, focussing on an investment property would be a great idea!  Remember you don't necessarily have to buy in an expensive area.  Depending on what suburb you target, you might even be able to pitch in 20% deposit (considering your 2yr timeframe)

    Where are you located?

    I am Currently located in Sea-Scapes, Mandurah. just south of Perth around 300m from the beach. Id like to stay close to the water as it seems to be a safer option. The Personal loan with CBA is for a car. But i could probably clear it in around six months if i move the extra payments on the morgage over to that loan?
