    thanks for your reply richard. At the moment we are struggling to service our debt, if we sell one of our properties it will take the pressure off.In this market we may not get top dollar so if we were to sell at bargain prices to someone else ,we as a family should buy it. But what structure should we use.?There is also another property purchase oppurtunity next month.We have plenty of equity but serviceability is a problem .thanks again   bill

    Hi propertytalk
    I’m with Wesfarmers,but they don’t have a true landlords insurance,plus they are pretty dear,i’m due for renewal in Nov,so i’ll get some quotes from Elders,Racv and Aami.I want the house and landlord in one.
    Dazzling who do you use?
    Regards Bill

    Hi clea
    This reply is just my opinion.
    Now with regards to your questions.Firstly commercial v residential,read some of Dazzling’s replies he is big towards commercial,I think mainly because of whinging tenants and also for better returns.
    Now for the first time investor,you don’t need any bad experiences so take small bites and keep in your comfort zone.
    What to look for with commercial properties-A long term tenant on good terms would be great.
    Having no tenant,you may get the property cheaper,but there’s no cashflow and no guarantee to get one,so you will have to make it work one way or another.
    I come from a country town where i see a lot of empty shops,sheds and yards.
    Just do your due diligence.
    Hope this helps,regards Bill

    Hi Yasmina
    Just a different spin on clones figures.
    ip $190000
    $19000 deposit
    loan 171000 for 30 years x 6% IO
    Rent received after costs 9460
    Loan repayments 10260
    800 loss
    no tax payable
    deduct $800 loss from other taxable income
    800×47% tax rate=$376 saving
    now the loss is $424
    $8.15 a week neg geared
    Property goes up $1900 yr
    so now is +$1476 yr
    hope this makes sense
    regards Bill

    Hi T1 Last weekend,a local property sold for $154000,guaranteed rental till Dec 2010 at $260 wk.I made an offer but missed out.Just keep looking there is always opportunities,you just have to recognise them,and be ready to deal,because if you don’t there are plenty of investors who are.Regards Bill

    Hi leoau This is my first time in with a serious reply.I agree with all the above replies.My advice is to work hard to pay off debts.There is a strategy to use to do this.Basically concentrate all extra income into your highest interest debt then when this is paid,use the same amount of extra income to pay off the next highest interest loan.You will soon have your debts under control and hopefully have a savings habit to build on. Regards Bill
