    I need an investor to help me keep my home. Are you looking for an investment opportunity?  This could be for you.The idea is that I find someone to "buy a share" of my house. The home is in Brisbane, where the property values are continually increasing. With the help of an investor ,I would be able to afford the home and continue living here with my 2 sons.

    Simple question Ilonka. If you can't afford a mortgage of say $200,000 to one bank, how does having 2 mortgages of $100,000 each change the situtation other than putting the risk of losing the investment onto your investment partner/second mortgagee?

    If you have equity in the home then you could always look at a shared equity loan through a major bank.

    Thanks Guys

    It is not a question of affording the current loan. No problem. I will however, struggle if I have to "buy my husbands share". I am not sure how all the financing etc works, but am afraid that on a single income I will ot qualify for the loan on my own, even though I have serviced it myself this year. I know my request is unusual, but sometimes we have think outside the square, and I have to do whatever it takes.

    If someone else buys your husband's share, then you will have to pay them somehow because you are living in the whole house. You may be able to pay rent, but that would mean higher repayments. Another option may be to give up equity or future capital growth.

    Hence my suggestion you look to refinance into a Shared Equity scheme.
