Great resource!

We will be buying a house end of this year and I'd like to get a top down view on buying a property.
We will buy with a deposit and then seek a loan (we have setup a bank account with BDO and put money in monthly) and hope they can help us fund the property whilst still working either here or Singapore.

What are the first steps - I realise for example land has to be in Wifes name but beyond that when buying a house and hiring the lawyer what pitfalls exist for us abroad?

Thanks

Tone
