Why is there so much negativity surrounding property investing,theres another topic altogether. I agree with AmandaBS and try to get them involved in some way, it may enable them to see what you are tying to achieve.

I borrowed the full amount for my IP as well as for the associated costs plus an extra 10k for reno costs the bank had no problem with this, the extra was deposited in my a/c on settlement .
Although it was a mortgagee in possesion sale and i bought at below market value. Hope this helps.
