Advice on first time buyers looking to invest

[scott laws 4]

Hi everyone

I'm just looking for some advice on mortgages and how hard it will be for me in my situation to obtain one.

I am currently studying business admin in Sydney Australia and am looking to make my first investment when I head back home early next year. I am currently doing lots of research and plan to carry on until I invest. I have a job lined up for when I get back to England, but I'm guessing I will have to work for 12 months or more until I can apply for a mortgage?

So basically the plan is to start off with a buy to sell which I will joint venture with my dad, after this depending on how successful the project is I then plan on obtaining a buy to let property, recycling my deposit then buying another buy to let, and so on....

This is the plan and I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but property is my passion and I can't wait to get started after my study's! The only thing that is making me doubt wether or not I can achieve this is how hard it will be for a first time buyer to obtain bridging finance for the buy to sell property, and if it's possible at the moment to get a buy to let mortgage for somebody with no landlord experience.

Obviously the best thing to do would be to contact a mortgage broker but I'm just after a bit of advice off you guys at the moment!

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks
