Hi Dammit
ING currently offer 5.40% for daily savings, no fees, money always available, no minimum…. I don’t like the thought of my money being locked away from me for 6 months.
My 18 yr old son recently paid cash for his first car ($5k) and now has saved $3k in ING. To (hopefully) accelerate his returns I’ve been looking into managed funds.
Me…[Read more]

Hi Jensshed
I looked into those Myaree units many months ago when they first came on the market. I see on their website today that only 12 of 50 have been sold.
From the cost of a 13sqm unit at 7.49% interest and rental of $220pm it seems that you will make $50 pm.. ie $600p/a. However the strata fees are $950p/a.
I don’t believe there could be…[Read more]

Further to my last post, I’ve looked into the website I mentioned. It gives info on received awards, and also provides lots of floor plans etc of various house designs. Prices for 4 x 2’s start from just over $100k but I don’t know if that’s up to date. My last one (with changes ) was about $90k, fixed for the whole construction time (14…[Read more]

I first built with “The Home Group” – a Scott Park subsiduary with lower prices – in 2001. I was so impressed by the quality/price and their positive attitude and follow-up to fix any …yes any.. problem that occurred that I used them for my next home in 2003/2004, with the same happy outcome. My partner built through them at the same time (we…[Read more]

What sort of a car do I have?….um, it’s a small white 4door…um sedan??…That’s as technical as we girls usually get! Actually it’s a ’92 Toyota Corolla, bought $4,500 secondhand in good condition and should last me another 10 years at least!!
But must share my girl’s car story… parked my car on the front verge one afternoon to wash it…[Read more]

Hi Dazzling
Thanks for your kind words, it should only take a day or two for my head to shrink back to normal size. I am happy to contribute to posts but feel that most times queries are better answered by more experienced forumites.
I have sent you a PM.
cheers

I think you’re referring to Tracey Imbuldeniya at PPIN (Perth Property Investing Network). tracey@loancom.com.au
The group meets monthly on the last Tuesday or Wednesday in Nedlands. If you contact her she will put you on the list to receive monthly emails which include meeting dates (as they vary).
They have guest speakers covering various…[Read more]

How is it possible Jack Hu that your parents are both “newbie” to RE and yet own 2 properties outright over and above their PPOR???
You’re tripping yourself up as usual, aren’t you Jack Hu? As always, your posts seem to be thinly disguised advertising for your latest scheme.

Hi all
I attended the Perth Masterclass on the weekend and subsequently have been looking through here for topics on trusts. At the seminar, Steve discussed having a (parent) company over (in their case) family trusts. Can someone please explain what the necessity of having a company as against having only the trust/s in place? What is the…[Read more]

Jack Hu – I’m reading through the various questions people are asking under the heading of ‘active topics’. It appears that your comments and interesting thoughts are replicated (ie cut and pasted) throughout a variety of questions people are asking. Is the same thought occurring to you over and over, or are you trying to get your postings…[Read more]

Hi Wendy
Excuse my ignorance, but “L/O’s?
A recent suggestion on this forum for Perth financial planners were two offices of the Margaret Lomas group (nor & sor). See http://www.edestiny.com.au/index.html for details. Haven’t used them myself yet but intend to soon.
For ‘property savvy’ accountants, RMG Accounting was suggested. Again I haven’t…[Read more]

Hi Steve
Tried to order on-line but the screen jams on the first page. Have sent an email to Admin and have crossed my fingers!
See you at the Perth June Masterclass seminar.
cheers

Hi Redwing
I just tried the http://www.deppro.com.au website but it doesn’t appear valid. Any suggestions please?

I read somewhere about some people who located a well on their property and because of its general historical significance, were not allowed to touch it in any way, including development.
Don’t know if it is relevant to you, but thought I’d mention it in case it influences the way you make your enquiries.

Derek – Thanks for your information and suggestions. It has given me some excellent options to consider.

Hi all
This is my first post… [blush2] … so hope I get it right!
I’m in the early stages (lots of research) about +CF properties after years of negative gearing (the taxman must have loved me).
I’m wanting to connect with other Perthites who are interested in catching up for a coffee to talk real estate. Is anyone interested?
