    Educate her – buy her some books and teach her what you have done.

    Lend her a deposit – do not go guarantor.

    With a loan your downside is that loan – if you go guarantor then you can lose a lot more if she marries poorly, turns to drugs or a life of crime.

    Cheers,

    I’m not a big believer in handouts but times are tough when it comes to first house purchase.

    Ive told my kids, if the they save half the deposit, I will match it. This will proove to me they are serious and can make the mortgage repayments.

    Has she shown an interest in investing in property? If so, that’s a good start!!!
