Hi. I'm almost a 24 year old with another year of study left at uni. So that's how long it will be until I will work full time and earn full time wages. That's when I'll be able to put to practice whatever I can learn about IP between now and then. In the mean time, aside from earning modest paid work experience wages soon, I thought I would see what people think about this opportunity that I found in this months API magazine. Below one of the articles is an ad from Wilton Real Estate in Sydney who said that I could put down a $2000 deposit on an apartment that is located in an apartment complex which is under development. The remainder of the sum would be due in up to 3 years. Conditions apply to the $2000 deposit but I don't know what they are yet. I received more information from the REA and found that the least expensive apartment in the Homebush Bay development atm is around $430,000. Some buildings have been completed and others are yet to be constructed.
I thought about putting down the $2000 deposit to resell the apartment in 2-3 years before having to pay the full purchase price which I prob. wouldn't be able to afford. This would potentially help me to get some cash to put down on a house for buy and hold to rent. Has anyone here tried that before? What am I risking? What do you think? What would you do?
Any advice appreciated,
