Can Young Doctors/Dentists Buy A House And Invest At The Same Time?

Yves SchoofBusiness

This is a common question we get from young healthcare professionals.

Like them, you might have saved up a decent deposit, and your income will only continue to go up once you obtain your Fellowship and a Consultant position.

It’s only normal that you want to capitalise on that.

Many of our clients look to buy a house of around $700-800,000 and have saved close to $200,000 to put down a reasonable deposit (at least 10% plus costs). In addition, they can set aside some funds for emergency cash and want to invest around $50,000.

They seek our advice to make sensible decisions and set themselves up for a solid financial future.

If you have similar plans, we can assist you in the following way:

  • Cash flow modelling to provide comfort around the fact that you will be able to pay the mortgage (with or without rooms being rented out)

 

  • Advice on a suitable emergency fund

 

  • Referral to a specialist finance broker to assist with the loan choice and set up (fixed vs variable, etc)

 

  • Advice on and implementation of income protection, etc without commissions

 

  • Advice on suitable investments

 

We charge a fixed fee for this service, which is very reasonable.

 Please feel free to reach out via 0432 885 295 or Yves@affluenceprivate.com.au if you wanted to discuss your personal circumstances.

Author | Specialist Adviser for Medical Specialists and Surgeons at Affluence Private Wealth
I specialise in managing and coordinating the financial affairs of medical professionals and have been recognised as one of the best financial planners in Australia. I am a Certified Financial Planner and member of the Financial Planning Association of Australia.

As I understand your time is extremely valuable and scarce, I am able to offer flexible meetings times, including outside business hours and during the weekend. I can even come and meet you somewhere convenient, or talk via videoconference on Skype.

My first consultation is free. I allocate up to 90 minutes to discuss your personal circumstances and to establish how I may best assist you. Where you already have an existing adviser, I would be happy to offer a second opinion. I always quote a fixed dollar fee before we start working together.

Please contact me on yves@affluenceprivate.com.au or call me direct on 0432 885 295. You can follow me on Twitter @YvesSchoof or connect with me on LinkedIn to receive new articles.
