    If it is positively geared then you not only can services 2.1 million but you can services billion or unlimitted amount of property.

    If it is neutrally geared then you also can services unlimited amount of property!

    Is it really your property, or is it your parents’?

    It is a bit harsh, don’t you think? If one does not have the property then why would one said so?

    Redwing,

    My first IP bought in Sept 2000. It is a 3 br all with built-ins, Single LUG, reasonable size of land in a quiet suburb.
    I bought it for $230k and rented at $235pw.

    Now it’s worth $410k-$430k, but renting at $220pw at the moment. I want to sale it, but at the same time I want to knock it down and build my dream home. I still haven’t decide what to do at the moment!

    Kind regards

    Best way to research for town info is to use http://www.google.com.au search engine and type in the suburb name.

    I think it is best to get a depreciation schedule done by the one you choose so that you can get a higher depreciation than the one the vendor give you.

    My lender told me that if I have a retirement village then I can’t use it equity as a security to purchase other property. The only way to get the equity is to sale it.

    I still don’t believe them, but I don’t have any retirement village at the moment therefore I can’t say whether it is ok or not.

    Kind regards

    Rachel,

    There is an advantage of buying properties in different state. First you just got to take a look at the land tax threshold to find out how much it is in each state. Then you buy property up to the threshold limit and move on to the next state.

    By doing this you will save money by not paying land tax, but if there are opportunity that you can’t avoid (ie. go growth areas, +ve gearing….) then you got no choice and have to pay land tax.

    Managing property closing to where you live sometime is a nightmare. The agents will call you regularly if there is a problems.

    Where as your investment property at the interstate then you don’t have to worry about and just sent the tradesmand to do the work, but it is costly tho…if it is a small problems that you can actually fix it yourself.

    Kind regards

    Come on mate use your moderator powers and delete or eliminate all of Chan$ posts in the forum funnies and then we’ll see what posts he has left.

    BUT make sure when you delete them Chan’s posting counter also counts backwards.

    Regards

    Guest what if you are a programmer then you will know. For the post to count backward then SIS has to change codes (asp’s code) in which he does not have the power!

    To change code you just have to ask pi.com web developers to do it ie. asp’s guru in pi.com.

    Hi,
    I’m new to property investing and still learning, so please excuse my question if it is too basic – What is an IRR? I think ‘Internal Rate of Return’

    Also, there seems to be an argument going here that it is better to invest in -ve CF properties because they have greater growth than +ve CF properties.
    In my simplistic view: If you pay, for example, a $20K deposit on a $100K +ve CF property and it never increases in value – with a tenant paying rent and this paying the loan, you still end up with an $80 profit at the end of the loan (you’ve only paid $20K out of your own hard earned cash).
    Even if the property fell in value eg to $80K, you would still make $60K profit. Also allowing for inflation over the term of the loan, it still seems to me that there would be a significant profit, not to mention the extra cash you’ve earned from the +ve cash flow.
    So even without growth you have quite a large return on investment.
    Am I being too simplistic here, or is this a valid comment?
    I think it is a valid comment and I do agreed! but the reasons people like to investing in -ve gearing property because the grow is much faster than +ve gearing property and there tax bracket is very high so they can claim a lot of tax from it.

    Where as those who investing +ve gearing property because some might not even working, other with low income so +ve gearing is the way to go for them. Once they have enough +ve cash flow then they can start investing in -ve gearing property to offset the +ve gearing, but growth much faster.

    Regards, Michelle.
