Timing is everything...

Hi all,

Just thought I'd introduce myself. Settled on a new PPOR a month or so ago way out in S.E Suburbs of Melbourne but have actively been reading these forums for 6+ months now, and planning to buy our first IP in the next 12 months.

Obviously purchased at the height of the market but also sold my previous place at the height of the market so it's all relative. Had a nice deposit on the new place and actually went through JPFinancial from here for the mortgage.

Next 12 months for the wife and I are key to really setting ourselves up for the future, my work (family business) is going pretty good, her's (teacher) is steady as she go's so have to come up with a plan and execute!

 

So what's the plan, stan

 

Gday hummel, welcome aboard.
Where to next?
Have you looked outside of Melbourne?

 

The thread title tricked me

 

me too, timing my favourite subject...lol

 

Thanks mate, yep have been looking outside Melbourne for sometime now, particularly around Brisbane however as said I eluded to with my title.. timing is everything.

Haha sorry guys, I suppose I was referring to selling/buying in a hot market. I probably paid 5-10k more than I needed to on the new place but also set a price record on the old place for that style of home in the suburb. Can't complain!

 

In a couple of years $5-10k will seem fairly negligible.
