Hi guys, first post here, having been recommended by a friend to join up.
Long story short, my current situation is pretty good. Just wondering what my best move forward would be... I have 2 IPs currently, returning approx $650/wk on top of my job ( Retail management ) I have got my mortgage down to under 150k and have good borrowing capacity. Would it be better to buy a more expensive house this time round instead of the 300k range, or just keep snapping up cheaper houses adding value and so forth.
I'm still living at home, with the parents, really keen on moving out, as any 24yo would be, but paying off my houses ASAP has taken priority. As such I have little living expenses, and have high savings. Just trying to make the most of it while I can, but hate living at home at this age, just makes it hard for the social aspect obviously!
I really like property and would one day hope to make it my main income source, however lately I have just become so frustrated with my property management with late payments, missing payments, and stopped doing research. Need to get back on the horse, and get back into the market.
Based on such info, I'm not sure if I should buy my own PPOR and not invest or perhaps get another one 300 - 350k range suck it up with the parents, and make some more cash.
Thanks for reading. Still a n00b
