Hi All,
Firstly I would like to commend everyone on the wealth of information that has been gathered here!!!
My Partner and I have just been introduced to property investing by a family member through a couple of Jan and also Peter Spanns Books. WHAT GREAT BOOKS!!! We are now motivated to start building a property portfolio with the long-term goal to become financially free!!!!
Heres our delima though..... Over the past couple of years we have fall for the take it now and pay later and have accumulated quite a bit of consumer debt. We are unsure about where to start, we are both very eager to get the ball rolling but are not really in the position to do so. Should we be concentrate on paying off all our debt or saving for a deposit for our first home?
Our situation is as follows:
Debt
Consumer debt $70k (alot I know)
van and tools $15k (I am a subie)
No real assets at this stage
Monthly Commitments:
Living(incl. rent, food ect) $2,895
Loan repayments $2,753
Total $5,648
We have a combined monthly income of between $8,300 and $9,200
Any advice on where we should start????
Any advice would be really appreciated,
Thanks
Jason
