Thanks heaps for the advice

I will send you an e-mail shortly  'Results1'. I not sure I'm capable enough to go through the whole process on my own, so having some professional help would be great.

"Are you intending to buy this property as your owner occupied property and claim the First Home Owners Grant or buy it for investment ?"
Not sure yet. I'll probably be looking to rent it out.
I'm not sure if this is a great idea, but how does it work legally if I live in the home, while also renting it out (if I were living with friends or such?).

Thanks again, I appreciate the help.

Cheers, I appreciate the input.

Thank Aussie, I appreciate the advice.

Thanks, you have all been most helpful.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.

At the moment my main focus is on my training (martial arts etc…), aswell as my limited clientelle base (personal training).

I don’t mind dedicating myself to property, but I won’t be able to commit 100%, and I don’t want it to be my main priority at this stage.
I would like to open my own gym sometime in the future, but not for some time yet. There are a few other projects I would like to work on aswell, more in line of starting some business projects (such as a website).
I don’t have anything planned seriously as of yet, but I just feel like that is where I would be really happy. The thought of owning property, and maybe receiving a residual (or is it passive?) income also makes me happy.

I would like to take some positive steps towards my first property sometime soon. Like you said, I don’t want to regret missing out, or leaving it too long.
I just don’t know where to start. I really need someone to talk to who can guide me through the whole process and not take advantage of my ignorance.

How did you guys go about purchasing your first investment property?
