    Hi Everyone,

    I'm 24 new to the property market, and strongly considering making my 2nd purchase. Any information/guidance would certainly be welcomed. Having read alot of threads I know theres quite a few very knowledgeable individuals out there
    My current situation is as follows:

    Loan: $423,000
    Property value: $600,000Combined income: $100,000
    Location: Seddon, Melbourne

    Any comments about how you might take advantage of this situation would be most appreciated. I understand that i dont have huge amount of capital, however im rather interested in the way in which this capital can be maximised.

    A special thanks in advance guys!

    Kris.

    Hi there, based on your numbers you have around $60K in equity (80% LVR) that you could use to purchase another IP. You have not mentioned if you have credit card debt, car repayments, etc, etc, however with an income of $120K you should be able to borrow to purchase another property.

     

    $60K is 20% of $300K for example…

     

    Happy Investing

    95% or even 100% LVR is available on a standalone investment property purchase so as long as you have some equity in your PPOR to access the acquisition costs then you certainly have sufficient income.

    Thanks for the above responses guys.

    Jon: I dont have any other debts besides the mortgage repayments.

    I've been doing some research on a couple of areas that I might invest in – Sunshine and Footscray. What are your thoughts in regards to both houses and units in these areas? I feel pretty confident with Footscray, however am a little uncertain about Sunshine.

    Cheers
