    Bec i suggest u do your research as I know people investing near mount gambier and finding many +ve properties. I also find them from time to time on the net. I cant help wonder why your not finding any being an agent in the area.

    I acknowledge that. However I have made the assumption – that to invest in property you need to have an income to support borrowing. You are then better off in the long run to buy good quality growth properties.

    Thats where Equity Mate comes in …LOL

    Not to mention No Doc and low doc loans

    Hi,
    I’m new to property investing and still learning, so please excuse my question if it is too basic – What is an IRR?

    Also, there seems to be an argument going here that it is better to invest in -ve CF properties because they have greater growth than +ve CF properties.
    In my simplistic view: If you pay, for example, a $20K deposit on a $100K +ve CF property and it never increases in value – with a tenant paying rent and this paying the loan, you still end up with an $80 profit at the end of the loan (you’ve only paid $20K out of your own hard earned cash).
    Even if the property fell in value eg to $80K, you would still make $60K profit. Also allowing for inflation over the term of the loan, it still seems to me that there would be a significant profit, not to mention the extra cash you’ve earned from the +ve cash flow.
    So even without growth you have quite a large return on investment.
    Am I being too simplistic here, or is this a valid comment?

    Regards, Michelle.

    Hi Michelle and welcome to the forum. I think you are n the right track for starters and as you move forwards with more experience you may find other ways that suit your changed circumstances better.

    One of my favourite sayings is Keep It Simple Stupid! Not suggesting for one minute that any one is stupid, but keeping things simple is the best policy. No point confusing things any more then you have to, especially till you have a grasp on the market you are playing in. Sometimes too much knowledge can be dangerous as one cant see the trees through the forest and always overlooking the simple solutions.

    Hey SIS, how ya going?

    Since Kay bought up a Bear market, I thought I would put in a Bears word……….LOL

    I actually totally agree with what u say SIS, But I also believe that +ve properties is the only way some people can actually break into the RE game/market. As they grow they can then modify their strategies, but for instance why even try to -VE when you’re not even earning enough money to pay tax in the first place? Get my drift?

    I have not had any luck searching on the web, but find many by getting out there building a network and doing the old fashioned footwork.

    My understanding is that one only has to pay stamp duty on the deposit payed and again on the flip by the new purchaser. Pay $100 deposit is a way around it with limited stamp duty. Of course my understanding could be wrong or outdated.

    Pisces says

    “Coming back to support for the oppressed, my idea would have been to merely supply weapons (and training if neccessary) to the suppressed and/or just bomb the smithereens out of the Saddam mob rather than necessarily risk US and Allies’s lives on the ground.”

    Mate I don’t know if u know this, but the great US of A not only supplied Bin laden and Saddam with weapons, but the CIA also helped them with their training money and trained them both in particularly Bin laden in how to make money to further their cause opium poppies being one of them.

    When ever the US helps some one with weapons etc to fight a common enemy they then turn on the US. One would think they have learnt that lesson by now……..LOL

    Hi MOB , it does differ from state to state, for instance here in SA u have to pay stamp duty on the deposit then the buyer pays stamp duty on the overall cost.

    In Tassie they u have to pay stamp duty in full within 3 months or penalties occur, then again on the flip it must be payed in full.

    I was married to a Reg nurse for about 15 years whom worked every where within the hospital and ended up running one. So thru that I have made many friends in the medical field from orderlies to professors and the stories I have heard still make me cringe.

    Yes its more then likely the minority however, what u think u get is not always what u get

    In other words offer more and charge more.

    About 7 years ago, there was a big Harley tours price war on, and guess what I did, I went and put my prices up. While every one was running around trying to get business and running either at a loss or breaking even, I put my prices up. And guess what happened. I got more work and a change of clientele. I started to get all the lonely bored housewife’s and Drs and Lawyers booking me for Harley tours.

    Creative thinking works real well. I know your circumstances are different, but it’s just an example of how things that seem negative can be turned into a positive.

    Hope this makes thing clearer for u Tools. Im not very good at explaining things in writting at times.

    Maybe find out what is in demand in the area, and spend a small amount of money setting it up to suit a particular client, may reduce the amount of people that may be interested, but may increase the chances of that one person that is humming and haring about leasing it. I hope that made sense?
