I'm not sure about any monetary incentive scheme…
I know NSW pushes through approvals in 10 days for Granny flats up to 60m2

I'm in VIC Jamie, but I think Terry consults for House of Wealth. As I need a new accountant too, perhaps that would be the right combination.
Though I live in VIC, I have IPs overseas and am looking at new opportunities in QLD at the moment.
I'm happy to jump on a plane once in a while… how important is it to have a local team? Do the laws…[Read more]

Thanks Darryl,
I agree, DIY comes with a lot of risks for the uninitiated (and that includes me) and wouldn't be the best solution for most people. No argument here.
Thanks for highlighting the differentiation between what the lawyer and accountant can and can't advise on. A good team seems to be the key to successful investing.
Cheers. …

Thanks for the reply Jamie,
I hadn't even looked into the DIY approach — your post made me do a search. I found the following at Cleardocs.com:

Hi Katie,
First, congrats on considering buying your first IP.
I can't get my head around the apartment idea though, especially in a complex of 300. No scarcity value. Guess I just cannot fathom buying an IP with no room for manufactured growth either.
Not to mention your equity will always be at the mercy of the surrounding sales –…[Read more]
dgirl replied to the topic How to generate income on vacant blocks? in the forum Help Needed! 11 years, 8 months ago
The house is a four bedroom home and has a run down double carport onsite, but no security.
Just thinking out loud… perhaps fencing the blocks in with a remote gate and turning it into a secure offstreet parking/garden area (for the tenants) would be attractive? On street parking is not hard to find in this area, so I couldn't rent it out to…[Read more]

Hi Mikal,
Thanks for the message.
In short; better than good and definitely helpful. Easily some of the best information I have come across for the local market. Only selling because it's time to start putting it all into practice.

dgirl replied to the topic 2 bedroom cottage, zoned Business in the forum Help Needed! 11 years, 9 months ago
Thanks for the response Derek,
I spoke to the agent and the place is currently rented as a private residence (so I guess that answers the other questions).
The car spaces are rented individually to other people……so you think it is the zoning of the house (not the use) that dictates the type of loan?
dgirl replied to the topic Fully paid off PPOR… best investment strategy? in the forum Yes, it does help — alot 12 years ago
Yes, it does help Derek — alot
In the above example (400K loan plus 125 LOC) would you suggest a 400K IO loan, with offset? Do they aim to pay down the 125K LOC?
Cheers
dgirl replied to the topic Fully paid off PPOR… best investment strategy? in the forum Help Needed! 12 years ago
Thanks for the comprehensive reply Derek; it took me a while to read it all!
O.K. I was always of the opinion a line of credit was a dangerous thing! I never really saw it as a tool before. So I guess in your example it would be important that they only use the "line of credit" as a loan (not a true revolving credit facility) in order to keep…[Read more]
dgirl replied to the topic Purpose of Loan in the forum Legal & Accounting 12 years ago
Hmmm… just thought that one through and think I may have made my own questions null and void…
In the above scenario, I imagine I can't even apply for a PPOR loan on a house in one state, while employed in another — I expect I would need a new job contract before I can apply for an owner occupied loan that is obviously thousands of km's away…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply Jamie,
The scenario I was thinking: say I am looking to move interstate, but have not yet secured a new job. I have found a property that I would like to live in — and would be interested in purchasing it as a PPOR but would not know about a job for a number of months. If no suitable job became available I would be happy…[Read more]
