Let talk Mortgage V cash , Repayment V interest only
For most people purchasing a property using 100% cash unrealistic a virtually impossible and takes far to long so for most people mortgage is the way forward. In which case, start saving, savings OR gathering money from others is the only way to gather the deposit.
I have actually mentored someone who then bought a property using this method because they had the "mindset to achieve this method"
They successfully asked “several” family @ friends for loans to help them buy one property which was in an on line auction for 90k plus fees (2023)
They offered 87k. Once refurbished up to 15k to 25k (no major restructure required) the house will be worth around 135k to 140k (current estimate) but could be higher within 5 years as it is located in a prime area of development.
Note: They work full time, have chosen the repayment method, and intend to call in favours from friends and family to keep cost down.
This method relies on good will, do will not work for everyone or forever
But it was there way of getting their foot on the property ladder
