Well done chad. We thought that deal looked interesting when it came across in the email. What type of time frames are you expecting to turn around these types of deals.

Yes sock is ok too but no more than 10k per person per flight

Hi Kim,4% is standard across new zealand subject to what you can negotiate and different thresholds for the reduction to 2%. Remember that you get what you pay for. There are a couple of firms doing 1 and 2% and people are getting mixed result. In that price range you could probably sell on trade me for $99 to a young couple of first time investor…[Read more]

Hi – try ozforex or another service for currency transfer. You book the transfer to the account you want anywhere in the world and then pay for the transfer from a nominated account. Payment is by phone and bpay or straight internet depending on the service. I don't think there are  limits on transaction size.Cheers

Hi Neville,If it were my house I would do it. If you can get the house re stumped for 7k plus fix ups then go for it. Nothing turns people off a home more than a dodgy floor.  If your target market is a home owner rather than investor you will be selling on emotion and your house will just be a little harder to love in it's current state.Cheers

kimmbo62 – dlpp has been renamed don. (a change being as good as a holiday – the full stop as someone already has plain don as their forum name – are you out their “Don” do you want to sell it ) Investing in NZ?? Not too many serious discussions on this forum lately about this topic. Sorry I could have missed a few.

I used to post quite a bit…[Read more]

Hi Guys – thanks for the feedback – as you know there were two property mags competing and KPI is no longer. The article is in “new zealand property magazine” if you google kpi you will get redirected to it.

It is a pretty comprehensive spread in the same way that api does its stats. Also has rental yields – if you are canny you will be able to…[Read more]

hi andrea – if you have a look at the australian property investor there is a list of rental yields in the different states. There are places in qld and sa with rental yields in the 8’s and 9’s. We started a thread in another spot to see if any forum members are investing in these locations.

If the average (was it average or median) yield is 8…[Read more]

hi guys – pays to be in the know – what about if you have been self employed for while – 2 years – but the employment and entity is in NZ as is mine.

What type of lvr, and rate could I expect purely on an income declaration basis for

a) established residential
b) finance to build

just to clarify I am after AUD to buy/build in Australia in an…[Read more]

Is that two years already?

The good thing about this is there is no stamp duty in some states on the purchase of an option. What is the stamp duty on buying and selling a $1mil property? = heaps! Other states have stamp duty on options, but you will still save as you would be paying stamp duty on a $20,000 option instead of a $1mil house.

Anyone no which states do and…[Read more]

Hi Jaineyb,

As an investor what you would hope to do it make the most efficient use of your capital.

You could perhaps achieve higher cashflow by leverageing into a large number higher yield properties.

However, if you could increase the yields on the properties that you are currently holding AND the properties are in growth areas then perhaps…[Read more]

perhaps some motivation around feb/march with the credit binge hang over that comes after the holidays
