    Hi Jancrows,
    I’m glad you found the problem before final purchase. I hope you are able to negotiate a great price.
    Just goes to show that you really need to be careful when buying a renovated house, I prefer to buy unreno and do the work myself.
    Great tip, thanks,
    Sue [:)]

    Hi MR,
    As richmond said do a search of the threads, you will find a lot of info.
    Once you have done that and still have some definite questions, then ask away. Your first post was a little too vague to generate much of a response.
    Keep smiling,
    Sue [:)]

    Hello RickHy,
    The most basic formula used is the 11 sec rule.
    You take the rent, divide it by two and then multiply by 1000. If the asking price for the property is at or below this figure, you may have a cashflow positive property.
    eg. Rent $200/2= $100, $100 x $1000 = $100,000
    This formula is used mainly as a filtering tool to ascertain which properties are likely to be positive.
    Have a good search through old posts as this, and other formulas, have been discussed often.
    Cheers,
    Sue [:)]

    Well, I thought I had a trivial problem to point out, and that maybe I wouldn’t mention it….but thanks guys for beating me to it!
    It is a little frustrating…I replied to one post and didn’t realise that someone had already answered the question on the next page! Doh!
    The improvements are great, otherwise [:)]

    Well done, Steve & co,
    I imagine that is going to be a very popular service.
    I’ll certainly be staying tuned….

    Hi yack,
    Have to agree with tools I’m afraid.
    You’ll have to come up with an original source. Perhaps direct from real estate contacts.
    Good luck with it, and keep thinking up ideas,
    Sue [:)]

    Hi guys,
    Sorry, slightly off subject, but how come there are two Julians? One from Oz, One from NZ.
    One of you might want to change your sign in name slightly so we can tell you apart…

    P.S. I guess I should answer the question while I’m here….ultimate goal?
    Ummm….to be successful at real estate investing, reach financial independence and then teach others how to achieve it.
    With my fortune?….as well as the usual charity support, I’d like to support scientific research.

    Why are rates so high in small country towns? I find it quite amazing.

    Working on the 11 sec rule, the rent would only need to be $30 a week!
    Of course, it doesn’t really work at this price as the rates are probably more than the yearly interest bill [:O]

    Good question Bear,
    I also have seven years of tax records cluttering up the place.
    Could someone please clarify this one?
