Hi all, Does anyone (only SA people I guess) know about homestart finance? I heard negative comments of them previously but wonder if they have improved. Wonder how the repayment actually work, if it works the same as PI loan... The reason why I asked because I've seen the ad on tv about...

Hi all, My cooling off period for my first property will start tomorrow, but I now have a few concerns.. There are fair bit of works needed to be done according to my personal opinion because I'll not rent out my place 'disgracefully'. One told me that there will be more things to do to...

Hi all, I've finally got my first ip under contract at the moment, have just sent the contract to the bank for approval. I've just done the building and pest inspection today, and apparently there are plenty of works to do, eg painting, patch up the crack(just one or two I could see)...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get my 2nd IP soon after my 1st IP if possible. I've read Jan Somer's book and she prefered IO loan and according to her, I can still build equity and use this equity to buy the 2nd IP. However when I spoke to my broker he said the only way to build equity is to use...
