we have only enough money to buy a first home in a not very good reputation town, like 30mins drive to work, that's why the property is cheap to buy. Rental market is looking good in long term.
We want to live there for a couple of years, save up, then rent out the first one (likely to achieve positive cash flow), and buy the 2nd one that suits us more.
Question:
1. Do we still need 20% deposit to buy the 2nd one?
2. Having the first one with positive cash income, does that help or not? Will that bring down the deposit requirement or add some credit to our application somehow?
Pls advise. Thank you.

You'll probably need more than 20% if the second property is considered an investment property. The rental income from the first property will help in some way.
Of course, the bank will look at your overall ability to service the mortgage, so the details doesn't really matter, the bank will tell you how much a property you can afford to buy.作者: paulwood 时间: 2020-8-20 13:21:52
1. renovating your 1st property and get valuer to assess new value
2. go to bank to chat with your new valuation report and your income details
3. then bank will tell you how much you can borrow and you should be able to buy your 2nd property
