I am loving this information thanks guys. Mike what you are saying is true I am asking about partnering mainly for the deposit to put down and because I study at uni, and work part-time will take me around 6 months to save 10-15k and was seeing if there was any benefit going in earlier with a partner sounds like it would be a whole lot easier to do it on my own. This forum has a lot of great things to look for when searching for property so looking to soak up as much as possible to and try and learn from others mistakes.
