    Hi all.
    My question is this, If you only have deposit for one property, say about 10k, how can you buy multiple properties? Keeping in mind that I always want to be cashflow positive, and I dont want the lenders to say no to me. I know that Steve likes to have 20% deposit for his properties, so how can I keep borrowing, and keep the bank manager smiling?

    Hi two years,
    It would be tricky (but not impossible) to buy multiple properties with just $10k as deposit immediately. If you could buy a house substantially lower than valuation (distress sale or similar) and then get a bank valuation at real value, you could in theory access funds for a second purchase.
    But otherwise the only cure will be time – you paying off the mortage as often as you can combined with the slow increase in equity. Line your nick-name, two years should do it!

    Best wishes

    I too think it would be very hard. it would be hard just to buy one with such a low deposit. On a 95% loan you would still need about 10% of the cost as deposit (5% for costs). So you would have to purchase a property valued $100,000 or less.

    The only way to keep borrowing is to come up with further deposits. Liek swampy said you can buy under value and then increase the loan, or:
    – renovations to increase the equity,
    – sell an option on the property to
    – wrap it
    – etc
