Thankfully the default drops off my rating mid next year so for me its a starting point.

But i am settling on a houe in November. the tricks are to have a good deposit, establish a good savings history,(in january i made a decision to put 10% of my pay in a savings…[Read more]

the best place to find out would be to send an email off to the state revenue office of victoria explaining your situation and get your answer straight from the horses mouth.
Like a few people here i am pretty new to investing. I have been a member of this site for the last 5 months and just in the process of purchasing my first property.
