Hi
I only have my own family home and no IPs
but I think that if you are looking at buying property or anything you need to be able to tell the condition of something (roughly).

you might have to get dirty…[Read more]

Hi,
We lived there for 2 years (99-01). We enjoyed the town, but it definitely appears that it’s ruled and habited by the fruit picking season.

Hi everyone
we are looking at buying our first IP
motgage 57000

IP value 175
wanted borrowings 200
so the bank said that they would lend us 80% of the combined properties values

not just the 80% of the property that you currently own
so if i’m right you are probably able to borrow more than you think, depending…[Read more]
