Residential Property
Some rules you may want to considerWhen seeking to purchase property well positioned property should always return good CG over time.
When not buying for CG it should return good constant cash flow. If you think this property will do either or both, I would buy it. If I were worried about either or both, I would…[Read more]bradshaw replied to the topic STEVE let get some balance in the forum Creative Investing 19 years ago

Your plan sounds fine. Many investors have made good profits doing business this way. Several things I would offer to you. 1. Buy property that is sound. 2 Buy what you can afford. 3 Do not over spend on the projects. 4 Do not pay more than what the property is really worth.
Over time you should be O’K

Hi Munno
I agree the Sydney market is still overpriced.The yields are low unless you can find a bargan. You can still find reasonable deals in other area’s for under $260,000. Your repayments of your mortgage is a fair lump of your combined income so I would be careful not to over extend yourselves with a poor yield on your first investment…[Read more]

The re-valuation of the property when this work is complete IMHO would not increase too much. It will still depend on Land value, recent sales. In relation to improvements on the property in regard to a rental increase, I would try for a minimum of 15% of the cost of the improvement and add that to the weekly rental. I have always been…[Read more]

Hi everyone first time posting from Bradshaw.
Just for interest sake. I am always amused with I see that property in the N.T. is still going up. It is true when this is applied in the Darwin market, although the N.T. does have other towns. These town include Tennant Creek which in fact is going backward. Also Alice Springs hit it’s peak around…[Read more]
