What if you can only afford below 50 sqm? I think you can still do well if you buy <50 sqm. I'm getting a nice rental yeild for my 1960's 48 sqm Highgate studio unit and CG I think will be reasonable. The issue is though you need a 20% deposit!? Is this always the case!? Do you always have...

Hi, I am looking to buy property OTP with 10% deposit. My funds are sitting in my stock portfolio, and somehow, I don't think that it is not really the good time to liquidate them. Beside that I don't have any (property) equity or savings, Sunset Clause mention 18 months in the contract...
