    House Cash question

    If we sell our house and move into rented for 12 months; what do we do with the not inconsiderable equity until we buy back into the market next year (or the year after)? We'd need something safe with a good return. Any ideas?

    Invest it in property.

    Oh, hang on.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      Find a buyer first then worry about the "equity".
