    It comes down to the reason I guess. If it wasn't your fault then you could try and contest it. I doubt it's possible though, it's quite a large default.

    Must admit – I've mumbled the letters W and T and F a few times looking at this thread.

    Hello and welcome aboard

    I've personally never heard of them – but then again, I'm sure there's thousands of property management companies in the country.

    If you start a new thread asking for recommendations for property managers in your particular area – you might get some good responses that you can follow up on.

    Cheers

    I agree with scottyboy – that's a reasonable approach to take. Best to get rid of your current unpaid debt before embarking on taking out more.

    With $2k spare per month, you'll knock it on the head quickly.

    90% LVR, unpaid $10k credit card default – do you want it financed under a hybrid trust too :-)

    I'm just joking – but this is a tough deal.

    Cheers

    Due to being in my work for only 3 months (got a promotion of sorts to a new company), the only lender that would lend 10% interest only of the big banks with a reasonable rate was CBA.

    I wouldn't worry about rate here – it should be the least of your concerns.

    If you're in a position whereby you have to purchase this property (which I'm not sure if you are or aren't) then simply getting a lender to formally approve the loan should be your biggest priority, which may involve using a different lender.

    I have a similar problem.  Instead of working in a job, I want to buy houses and add value and sell, to make income.  Got lots of assets from saving/investing while running my own business but now that I've sold the business, I cant borrow with low income.  It's silly really!  I'm thinking of renting out my house for $800p/w and moving into one for $400 just to get $400 more income to convince the bank to lend me more money!  All I need is $250,000 more, which would be repaid in a year or so.

    It wasn't that long ago, they were throwing money at me – I should have taken it!

    Perhaps you should get a second opinion on your borrowing capacity. At the very least, you will receive some advice on how to improve your situation if you can't borrow now.

    Cheers

    I'm not a fan of the GC either.

    I also kept my eye on the Logan market for a while back in 2010 and it doesn't look like properties have moved since, a quick search shows similar listing prices to that a few years back.

    Hi Big O

    In regards to the valuation, I'd tackle it in two ways.

    Firstly, find three comparable sales within the last 6 months that support your argument and have your banker/broker use these to contest the valuation.

    Secondly, order an upfront valuations via a different lender. Hopefully a different valuer is appointed and the result changes. If using a broker – they can arrange this for you.

    Cheers

    In a market like we have now, you are able to pick up a similar established property for much less than one that is OTP. However, not everyone has the financial capacity to come up with the initial 20% and stamp duties.

    .

    you don't need 20% to purchase a property – a 5% deposit can get it done for some.

    We have a facebook page to keep clients up to date with investing info and product offerings – it's a great way to stay connected and reach out to a large audience. I would only use a facebook as part of a broader marketing strategy though – and not rely solely on it.

    Cheers

    I've never seen a depreciation schedule that hasn't paid for itself within the first year or two – even for older properties.

    You'll need to get a quantity surveyor to prepare a report – that's the only way you'll get an accurate record of depreciation.

    There's some online calculators that you can use – but they aren't very accurate.

    Don't forget a lawyer as well.

    Trusts have their pros and cons – make sure you consult decent professionals who will provide impartial advice on what's right for you.

    I'm not sure about legal professionals but accountants and brokers (well most that I know of) will take on interstate clients.

    dgirl – if you're in Sydney, give Terry a buzz to see if he can set it up for you.

    Hi Emil

    Must say – I haven't seen many OTP properties sell for significantly less than established properties of a similar nature.

    Thanks for your input Jamie, those are great suggestions too. I definitely need to do a bit of work to build my case. It's an IP and currently vacant so I'm guessing they'll want a quick settlement – i'll be proposing 60 days though as our first baby is due in 3 weeks so we'll be a bit preoccupied!  

    Exciting times! My wife and I are only three weeks behind you. 

    Best of luck with the offer.

    Cheers
