Hi, I am 30 and earn 87k pa. My boyfriend is 27 and doesn’t have an income (but will in the next few years). We have combined savings of around 150k.

My question is: what is our best move? Continue to save and put down a chunky deposit on a place in Perth (where we plan to live in a few years) and then use equity to buy an investment property or the reverse? Buy an investment property in the interim that I can service with my income. Orrrr start a share portfolio?

I’m feeling the opportunity cost of not doing anything right now.

My brother, mother, and I want to purchase an investment property, but we were thinking to only take out the loan in mine and my brothers’ name. The plan was to occupy the property for 6 months so that we will be eligible for the first homebuyers grant (Mum would not be eligible as she has purchased property before). Can all three of our names still be on the deed for the property, if only 2 of our names are on the mortgage?

If someone worked as part of a real estate agency between 2000-10 selling property on a commission only basis with no OTE's and were required to give the agency manager a personal invoice for the sale, would the manager or agency then be required to pay those individuals super? Given the time lapse could the employee obtain unpaid super? Consider there was no formal employment contact between the parties and agency, yet all worked from one office under single unified company label/brand.
