Thanks again everyone.

Thanks Terry and Benny, both with good points to consider. As a lender do Latrobe have a history of stability? I’ve just never banked with someone other than CBA or ANZ so a little unsure. When you don’t know what you don’t know, if that makes sense.

Can you say more about why it mightn’t be?

Thanks

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, and I appreciate the information about cross collateralising.

My main thing is trying to stay at least one step ahead of my next planned move so I stay on track with a strategy.

I really value having this forum where you share your knowledge. It’s really helpful.

Cheers

Hi Ed

I might be interested in Rick Otton’s rent to own.

Just wondering what year is it, is it still current, and what would you be looking to receive?
