G'day everyone,
I thought I would create a thread to share my experiences and get the ball rolling on documenting my IP journey. (When it finally begins)
Kind of like a diary entry but keep the content Property, IP and Investment related...
I've lived in Werribee for the past 7 years or so with my lovely Wife - Well, not legally married but I call her my Wife - , and have seen the area pick up and become super busy. We have two lovely kids, our eldest girl is now 5yrs old and youngest girl is now 1yrs old. Yep, i have 2 daughters so ill need two shot guns for when they are teenagers haha
Anyhoo, we live in a house which was built in 1952 by my Wifes Grandparents. This house has now housed 4 generations !!! My Wife has lived in this house for almost 20 years now. She was paying rent to her Auntie who inherited the house when the Grandparents passed away up until 7 years ago. My Wife has grown very attached to this house and there is a lot of history here.
We have been trying to repair/renovate the house since we purchased it together about 5 & 1/2 years ago. Buying it for $180,000 in joint names in 2009 we thought we got a pretty good deal. We borrowed through a mortgage broker, I think it was Mortgage Choice who found us a loan via Commonwealth Bank. Being our first house purchase together we did not investigate much into who the best lender was or what interest rate we would get, we just wanted to buy our first house together A.S.A.P.
To be continued...
