Not sure what I am yet!
I've never thought of myself as a 'property investor' but found this site because I'm looking for a mortgage broker in Melbourne.
I bought my first place (a unit) a few years ago, which I moved out of a while ago and rented out so that I could move into a house and get a dog (a beautiful beagle)!
I haven't really been treating it as an IP, and have just continued to do what I did when I was living in it (ie. been trying to pay it off as quickly as I can on a principle and interest loan). Anyhow, I really like the house (and so does the beagle!) and am now wondering about the possibility of buying it as my PPOR and treating my unit as my 1st IP.
From reading everyone's invaluable comments, I've realised that maybe I could actually do something a bit more productive with my unit than just trying to pay it off as quickly as I can!
Anyhow, not sure where this post was suppose to go, but just wanted to say thanks to the posters on this forum for helping to open my eyes and making me realise that maybe even an average jane like me could achieve financial freedom through property!
Thanks for the recommendations on MB in Melbourne - I'm going to give Kristine a call on Monday. Hopefully this will be the first step towards being a 'property mogul'
