Thanks . Does anyone else have a different order or anything? I dont mean anything bad to Judi, he actually has enlighten my confused mind (since i’m inexperienced in this), but I’m just wondering if this is the typical approach or is there a completely different approach?
I would like to learn as much as I can during these couple of months while I gather up some deposit money and researching on potential investment property.
ok.. so how does getting a new appraisal and asking for a new mortgage is considered re-financing?
My question derived from the example of “real estate riches” book by dolf de roos. A property went up from $1 m to $3 million, and by refinancing he got $2.7m, and he used that to pay his $900k mortgage (he only had $100k at start), which leaves him $1.8 million.
Question being… how was he able to take out 90% of the property value as cash? Doesnt mortgage means to borrow money to buy a property? Isnt what he’s doing called ‘equity’? But.. isnt ‘equity’ taking out the amount of money that you’ve paid off for the mortgage?
FHOG = First Home Owner Grant?
What exactly do you get in this?
I’m 19 yrs old and I’m ashamed to say that I have no savings >.<.
I’ve been given a wake up call after I read Rich Dad Poor Dad book and Steve’s book.
Thanx for the help.
P.S. Hey YoungInvestor, wanna get in touch through email or something? your circumstances are very similar to mine (except for the savings bit and the state).
