    - If I am not in a place where I have enough equity for an 80 or 90% LVR, would it be worth taking a risk going as high as 95%LVR to make sure I get in before the next year of massive growth?

    - I saw on a business program that interest rates could rise with Japan's economy. Is that likely to happen here?
