Hi Richard,

I appreciate the input & advise – indeed it would be better to have full support, but i also understand her opinion. It may change if i can demonstrate myself.

I am based in NSW – so connection / contacts I good speak with would be a great start.

As for structure, I have read a number of times not to purchase in my own name but within a company structure / Trust – or both, the company sitting above the trust. My aim of this would be to isolate my activity from our PPOR & then levarge and Tax benefits.

Unless a vendor is willing to finance, it will be a case of saving for deposit & costs. With that said, our mortgage broacker has also not been forthcoming with "options" or not main stream lenders.

Finally, point taken about whats then & what is now – I have a long term goal and at 39 am a bit of a late starter in taking control of my future. Only through lack of awarness / exposure to such thinking.

Riachard, thank you.

Regards,
Mark.
