To cut a long story short, we have finally seen the light about property investment and are "mentally" in a position to start the journey to our financial freedom and frankly I'm just beside myself I'm so excited.
Just wondering what the first baby steps are to take?
We've had a mortgage broker recommended to us but would really welcome any suggestions from you experienced IP guru's if there is someone who is just the beez kneez.
We've got a good solicitor, still trying to find out if our wonderful accountant specialises in investment property tax (any recommendations would again be welcome).
We want to use the equity in our home to purchase the first (of many) IP's so should we have the house valued before contacting a mortgage broker? And do we do that by just having several REA's come and value the property?
I guess we need to talk to the broker to find out where we are as far as what we could borrow, what the payments on certain amounts would be??? before we start looking at where and what to buy?
I've just read back over what I've written and I think I am sounding very much like I don't have a clue LOL. Some guidance on the next steps would just be so gratefully received.
Thanks
Lisa
