Tricky question Silverfox.

That is like asking if four cylinders are better than six cylinders.

It really depends. In my portfolio I only have 1 brick duplex as the area I deal in is full of character homes. Also very timber based. I personally have found that the timber homes are better for me as I go for character that I can improve upon. I…[Read more]

Hey Brent,
Well done on the Red Star….I really think though you should be given three…you can have one of mine if you want.
Another thought ….does another star mean a pay rise ???

Hey Ado I think you did good by putting up the sums on the forum. Nobody is perfect but the more you do the numbers the better you get at them. I am looking forward to seeing the next case study for us to crunch.

Good luck…..

Hey Lizzie,
Your number guessing in the second half of your question is farily accurate. As to rates call the council of a Real Estate agent to ask what rates are like in the area you are looking at. Some areas have water rates etc on top of the council rates.

As to letting fees, advertising, usually the agent charges 1 weeks rent to tenant the…[Read more]

Kate,
Try Dale Gatherum-Goss. http://www.gatherumgoss.com.au He is a good
man. Another fellow I have talked to who seems good also is John Fillipo, I could get you his number if you wanted it . I use Dale at present and he is very good.

Hope this helps.

Hey Richo,
Once again no AFL comments from me.
Mate I use a guy who really is excellent. His name is David Barlow Ph. 07 32290494. Tell him I suggested him and he will take care of you. At least he will know roughly where you are coming from.

Hope this helps.

Hey Banner. To be honest things have moved. There are still deals out there but your 100-120K is probably difiicult in Brisbane City but achiveable in the satellite areas. You need to look at areas north ,west and south of Brisbane. Have a look at a map and see what yuo think. If you get really stuck email me. deero@optusnet.com.au

This is bigger than Ben Hur. It is a real treat to to hear about all of you people. Next Seminar I will be asking Steve to have a lunch session in the corner for introductions of regular seminar users……next time.

I must admit to getting finance after I have signed. I always allow a building inspection clause so if things do go bad I can walk on that basis. I never put finance down as a clause because I know I can always get money. It may be dearer than average but there is always a way…….

I’ll have to disagree with you there Pete. I use a melbourne Acct and I am in Brisbane. I use Dale Gatherum-Goss in Kilsyth. I also talked to another Melbourne accountant last week who also seemed very good. You really want one that will think outside the square.
