COMMON QUESTIONS
Do I need to own a home before buying an investment property?
Not necessarily, but having existing equity makes it easier. The course covers both paths — with and without an existing property.
How much deposit do I need for an investment loan?
Typically 10–20% of the purchase price, plus costs. The course covers this in depth.
Should I use a trust or company structure?
That's a decision for your accountant. The course gives you the vocabulary to have that conversation — not the advice itself.
Can I use this if I already have one investment property?
Absolutely — many of the concepts around structure and equity apply to growing beyond your first investment.
