To sell it all down in 5 years and be the first homeless Bugatti Veyron owner :) I can hang my clothesline off the windscreen if I get a convertable model !!

I can cover around another 300 per week. Sorry I am based in Vic. I am currently with Bankwest which was originally a 97% product setup in Dec 09. I basically am looking at getting #2 ASAP.

Hi Guys I am just looking for some opinions on what I should do next. Income about 55k PPOR Loan 1: 308k PPOR Value: 400k My plan: Loan 2 LOC 90%: 52k Loan 3 Mort 97%: Buy house #2 Loan 2 to cover LMI for loc & new loan, deposit, legals, stamps out of Loan 2. How can I make...
