Ever since being on Somersoft I've changed alot of things, searching through my threads reveals a few things such as Inability to save, Car loan and lack of IP. Now they all fixed (big thanks!), I'm in my first IP and my budget is at the point where I can have $800 a month absolutely free. In 3 months my HECs finished, which will put this at almost $1300 a month. This is after paying bills and the 1st IP.
I'll definitely be looking at using this $1300/per month on my 2nd IP in the short term. However, at the moment I'm not to keen to purchase my 2nd IP due to Interest Rates and also because I only just recently purchased my first. I'm finding I sitll have a lot to learn.
The question I pose, for one looking to have a balance portfolio, what could be an area I look at investing in for the next 12 months? Would a Managed Portfolio be a simple and affective way? Or should I just keep throwing it into an ING?
At the moment I don't have cash savings. Is this something an avid investor should definately have? Or should I continue to focus on the First IP by paying as much off as I can?
I used to have a few shares (sold to fund deposit for 1st IP), and although Day Trading interests me (or even short term trading) I don't have the time at the moment to focus my energy onto the stock market.
Thanks,
Matt
