How are the figures “adjusted”? Is it for average earnings or GDP or something else?

Hi,

Agree with Dr X. You can only nominate one PROR at a time.

Looks like you will to pay tax but remember you may be entitle to the CGT discount if you have owned it for twelve months and the dates start on the date you exchange contracts and not settlement date.

Thanks Dr X,

Have made a mental note. Just wanted to add one thing to the discussion about my personal experience with insurance companies.

It really really depends on the individuals you deal with when making your claims and the way that you submit your information. You need to be 100% truthful but you need to give the insurance company the…[Read more]

Hi

It is very common for investors to rent. It becomes a lifestyle choice in the end.

I am currently renting and it seems every time this issue comes up more and more investors admit to living in rentala.

Hi Djmetz,

I would have to agree with the others on the southern city. If you have not been there for a while grab one of the crazy $38 Flights and spend a few days having a look around.

Castledreamer lives up that way. What you really want is someone who has the local connections not only to find a deal but make things happen for once the deal…[Read more]

Hi Dammit,

I bought my first IP at 20 and you are right, the equity will/should help you buy a PROP at a later stage.

When your other friends are just starting to save for deposits you should be well on your way.

At 19 the most important thing I can think of for you is to have an investing plan that is flexible enough to fit in with your…[Read more]

Hi Guys,

But anyone wanting to buy form a buyers agent would be better to use someone who is either on the ground – like Don and Liz, or has a team on the ground.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hi Kay,

I read that articile in API and thought it was contrary to what I was seeing here on the ground in Invercargill. Well I was right! Latest stats show that mediam prices have increased 10K in the last quarter.

Hi DrX,

Can you name the company that sent out a PI for a 5k car. I will be staying away from them. You are right that is a big time hassel for a work ute.

Sorry if I sounded vague on my criteria. I live in Sydney but are open to looking at interstate and NZ properties that are CF positive of course.

Richo – send us a pm or email if you want to get put on the distribution list for deals that are coming up shortly.

When you haven’t seen failure and have had some success, you can start to believe you are a genius. That is fatal in the share market.

Probably applies to more than just the share market!

I reckon if you sat down and did a cost benefit analysis w.r.t. insuring your IP’s, the only event worth insuring is the full on fire scenario, and even then they’ll try their utmost to wriggle out of it.

Have to just caution this. I can think of many events where insurance will be worthwhile..

Last year: Minor fire in kitchen. Owned house two…[Read more]

Pavlina,

Just one more thing. Don’t be afraid to get involved in the tenant selection process. You can head off many “potential” problems by being actively involved.

Hi Dohicky,

Have you considered going back for an up to date DD trip. Doing it that way you could pick your streets and wait for a property in your preferred location.

Try a pm to Muppet on this forum. Local knowledge is invaluable.

Richo,

Great to get someone from design and architecture on the forum.

At the moment I am trying to research design and furnishing of small spaces eg student accomodation and short stay accomodation.

Have you got any good sites or reading you could put me and the other forum members onto.

Do you have specific investing criteria in mind for…[Read more]

Hi Westan,

Is this the one that is specific to state housing clients or is it another deal altogether.

Hi Wes,

It is not in someone’s interests to get hyped and carried away being “positive” if they are setting themselves up for disappointment. I love this forum because you get many different viewpoints, but you must always search for truth, rather than the hype.

I agree with your comment about searching for the truth…well I don’t realy…[Read more]
