  • AJB replied to the topic Borrowing to buy in Dubai in the forum Overseas Deals 17 years, 9 months ago

    Having been in Dubai mid last year regarding a property development job there are a few things to think about: The rental market is being driven hugely by construction i.e. expats in property & finance and skilled/unskilled labour for construction work. While they continue to build the market is reasonably self sustaining. If the construction…[Read more]

    Do a search on “relocatable houses” I know in NZ there are companies who specialise in these. I.e. you can go to their yard and view all the houses they have – usually included in the price is the transport and re-piling costs.

    Hi Peachy,

    John Burley’s – 7 money secrets of the wealthy (something like that anyway) was my big catalyst book that got me taking action. Highly recommend it.

    Thanks for all the ideas …. good news over the holiday period my rental manager has managed to rent two more of them. So now with 3 out of 4 gone the property is sitting cashflow neutral. Time to rent the last unit and then work on selling them.

    Cheers

  • AJB replied to the topic Block of 4 units – vacancy problem in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 10 months ago

    Thanks for that numbers as follows:

    Purchase of units $520,000
    Cost of refurb $70,000
    New valuation $680,000

    The one rented unit is rented at $260 per week. That is what I want to achieve for the others also.

    The units are in Linwood which is not the best area in Christchurch but there is alot of redevelopment going on and it is 5-10 mins from…[Read more]
