Advice Needed:
My auntie recently sold her property, at the end of the day walking off with about 500k in cash.
She is looking at buying a unit to live in as a PPOR in Sydney, and paying 100% of it.
I wanted to give her some options to better set her up for the future. She is still working part time, but is getting at the age (60) where she wants to stop working in the next 5 years or so.
Here are some things I could think of, but would love some opinions about what you guys would do. I wanted to try and keep her away from the debt side, but it might be worth it if it means getting some investments in the mean time.
Options
A) Buy a PPOR with the cash, and try to live off little what is left over + about 40k in super + pension for the rest of her life.
B) Spend 500k on a PPOR, and use the equity to buy an entry level property investment, something along the lines of taking out a LOC and capitalising interest payments.
C) Buy 350k property investment with a decent yield. And buy 100k worth of income producing shares and then rent with the cash.
I haven't had much time to think about it but she is coming over to see me today so would absolutely appreciate your thoughts,
