Hello to you all….
I have couple of questions and would be very grateful for any advice given. I have recently, like many out there, completed Steve’s book but I am still in the learning stage have a lot of questions/concerns.
Firstly my partner and I have been in our first home (borrowed $207000 now valued at over $320000) for about 18 months we have spent some $20K on renovations and have found the bank willing to fund an investment loan. we have no debts outside our home loan and within the next 2 years I will be receiving a gift of some 80K to 100K.
Now should I get in on the investments now, wait till the money comes in and not have to borrow over %100 for the loan or use the money to pay off my current home loan and borrow from the equity?
Secondly has anyone out there heard of this place
http://www.theinvestorsclub.com.au
I am a glass half full person and find there claims a bit dodgy.
Regards
ThierryWelcome to the Boards Thierry. Do a search on The Investors Club as there has been quite a bit of discussion on them.[glum]

Hi Slayer and welcome to the forum,
If i was in your shoes id be thinking of investing now using the equity in your ppor as i expect and hope housing prices will be higher in two years than they are now.
Which will give you hopefully equity as well as the 80-100 large your getting. Also the interest on your current ppor is not tax deductible so paying that loan down when you get the gift money would save you a lot of interest.
Again this is just my thoughts and there is some good finance advisers around which could be of bennefeit to go see.Regards Risky
