Hi smachar,

It depends on many things. Such as:

a) Do you have any equity (i.e. own a home, other investment properties, ..)?
b) how much you wish to spend
c) method of investing

You really need to provide more information. But generally speaking, the more you wish to spend, the more money you will need. Banks will normally lend you 80-90% of…[Read more]

Cremin,

I’d be worried about your health if I were you… hehhe i like your way of thinking though! Anyone considering drinking a bottle of whiskey a week for the next 40 years (if they live that long) might need to invest the money they save on other things, such as:

* New Kidneys

Hi Tridean,

If you are in a position to purchase the property, why not do that and then wrap it back to the lady? It sounds like a perfect win-win situation.

No matter what laws are introduced to prevent spamming, I think it will always be an issue with email. Unfortunately, back when the internet and email were introduced, developers just assumed that everyone would use the service sensibly and not maliciously… boy were they wrong!!!

I think that some day in the future, email will be a thing of the…[Read more]

Hi Leila,

There are several Mortgage Brokers on the forum – I’d search through the forums, I’m sure you’ll find a few.

I had a chat to Steven (username ‘Mobile Mortgage’ on the forum) on the weekend. He seems very knowledgable and was quite helpful. He mentioned ‘trusts’ and said it wasn’t a problem for finance. He is in Victoria.

I’m no expert on inner city appartments, but from what I’ve heard, they aren’t a good investment. I’d work out all the numbers and do your due diligence prior so you know exactly what you are getting yourself into.

As Steve has said in the past… when demand is greater than supply, prices go up… when supply is greater than demand, prices go…[Read more]

There have been JavaScript errors on all pages of this site the past couple of days. It appears to have been fixed now. I guess that may have been the problem.

Hi markk,

Good luck!
