    we have been full time investors for 13 months now – we both agree that it is the most rewarding work that we have ever done. Okay some is mundane but seeing an aspect of a deal that others perhaps don’t or making something work that others could not gives us a real buzz. Don’t wait to long to take the plunge or it may never happen. Carl barron used to do a joke about his first day as a roof tiler and thinking to himself “this is <edited>”. 13 years later he quit. I thought the same thing about my old job and it took me 10 years to leave. Don’t let your existing job trap you from moving forward.

    regards

    don

    The numbers look good, unfortunately, the inspection revealed a tired old property needing lots of cosmetic and some not so cosmetic work done to it. Briefly, it needs
    – interior & exterior painting (inc. replacing some weatherboards)
    – leaks and some rot in ceiling and bathroom floor
    – cistern & pan need replacing
    – rotting windows
    – evidence of rising damp in 2 rooms
    – underfloor inspection recommended

    hi – that sounds like 20k plus if you are trying to do it remote – I would ask the real estate agent politely if he could find you a deal exactly like that one without all the problems.

    Rotting window can be a huge expense, painting no biggie but sanding and prep pf weather boards can get beyond a joke

    Restumping roughly 7-12k then you have to fix all the damage the movement caused

    If you are on the spot get under and have a good look around with torch, camera etc –

    cheers

    true the agent that sells the most properties may not get you the highest price!! They are probably the best at making both parties conceed until agreement is reached – it is a different thing really.

    yeah – do what terry said and resist the temptation to go anywhere near the place – last thing you want is a tenant claiming he is missing a plasma or something – in nsw youo can get an emergency hearing if you are worried about rotting food in fridges and things like that – hope it is the same where you are. take someone with you when you go and take plenty of pics – [grad]

    battleships v jarrah

    will they battle is out to see who keeps the green yoda head.

    Hi tamtam,

    along the way you will diversify and also make capital gains that will insulate you from higher rates. You will be able to find investments yielding much higher net rates than property. The beauty of property is the unbeatable gearing that it offers.

    I remember when I had a job banks were lending me 95% on property as standard on stand alone loans. I can’t see that happening in the share market.

    [Especially with this Innisfail disaster where are investors left in terms of mortgage payments on a property with no roof in a town with 4000 less jobs than last week/quote]

    landlords insurance should cover the rents until the property is repaired – then again who is goingto be there to rent the houses – won’t be banana pickers – probably roofing contractors and chipies -maybe some will stay on and make it there new home – sometimes positives come out of natural disasters for housing – old “past used” stock is removed and new stock built with insurance checks (unless you a under insured) -anyway I wish those brave people up there all the best in re building their lives.

    cheers

    Hi Stevieb,

    Cool. Can’t really do deals on this forum but I suppose I could post details of some that have been done to get an idea. I have some good resi stuff on the go right now at 10% yields but the commercial stuff is not a done thing and I am still learning quite alot and meeting different people with expertise in this area.

    I could probably post the numbers and let you guys pick them apart as a learning process but if we did that we would have to write off the chance of getting it – who knows.

    cheers

    Hi Guys,

    We are doing heaps of DD on these deals that are popping up – ie smaller type properties under 300k. Holding off for now as a local developer has a job on converting a park area into an industrial zone on top of all the other commercial development going on so we are not sure what impact this will have on existing premises and what sort of business will relocated etc etc there are a heap of variables in play -there is also the shaky building laws that will impact on older 2 storey dwellings.
