    I’m thinking of puchasing my first investment property by purchasing a Deposit Bond??????
    Having the deposit on a new home with a long settlement, allowing me to sell the property just before settlement and hopefully earning me a profit. The property is under construction.
    Where could i get more info on Deposit Bonds???
    Is this a good way to make money in property Investing

    Hi charalambous

    You can find some information about deposit bonds at http://www.mrmortgage.com.au/depbond.htm.

    As for whether this is a good way to make money in property investing – you use the words “hopefully earning me a profit”. In my mind, the best investments are the ones which;

    • 1. Are least likely to lose the money you invest
    • 2. Are most likely to return a profit
    • 3. Give you the highest return on investment.

    But in the end, you need to make up your mind on what a good investment is for you. Perhaps a good investment for you is one which saves you the most tax.

    Hi charalambous.
    Do a lot of research before committing! See page 3 of “The Australian” today (3/1/03). If there is enought concern for Govt. agencies to be considering action there must be pitfalls for the unwary. (This does not mean that deposit bonds won’t work).
