My husband and I and our 2 children are currently renting and desperate to get into the market and hopefully start building some form of protfolio.  sorry to put a question up here, don't know if this is the right spot, but am I reading this correctly in that it may be a better option to purchase an IP firstly and continue to rent?  Beeing in QLDit would mean missing the first home buyers grant, but is this something that you would suggest for first timers like us?
