Hi, I'm currently living in Brisbane and planning to buy my first property. However, I'm not sure whether I'll be staying here in the long term. As the property that I'll buy will potentially be an IP, I'm just wondering whether I'll still be eligible to get my FHOG if we already bought an...

Thank you for the advice. I just notice that you're a mortgage agent. I'll be in touch with you once I'm in Brisbane.
