    Hi,
    My situation is that I’m ready to move out of home. I would like to start investing in property aswell and probably developing (especially after the martin ayles seminar!). My question is would it be better for me to buy an investment property and rent it out or develop it and personally rent somewhere to avoid living at home. Or use my first home owners grant and live in the property for 6 months and then rent it out or develop it and then rent myself?
    My financial situation is pretty good as I’ve saved money from living at home. Just need some guidance at the moment…

    Hey mate,

    What a wonderful situation you are in. My advice to you would be to live in the place for 6 months beginning within the first 12.This way you save on stamp duty and also get the FHOG.

    If you could live with your parents for a while longer, the rent would help with the mortgage and free up some money for things like renovations furniture etc.

    Just remember to avoid stamp duty and recieve the first home owners,. You have to live there for 6 months within the 12, this means that you could move in on the 364th day after settlement and still obtain FHOG and no stamp duty.

    Choose wisely and make sure you use a broker for finance, there are some great deals available at the moment that a lot of people are unaware of.

    5.99% reverting to 6.62% for e.g.
