change brokers. I was in your boat with my mortgage broker, he was a complete dud. I’m now using Jamie from pass go home loans who regularly posts here and the services and advice has been exceptional. My only regret is I didn’t change years ago.

I just read off the forum. Half the magazine is advertising. The stats at the back are handy but even those need to be carefully scrutinised.

I’ve stopped reading these magazines years ago. They just blow a lot of smoke with feel good stories about how investors borrow up to 95%, in debt up to their head and how successful they are.

Japan is a real touchy subject for Freckle and this photo wouldn't do it justice. I'd like Freckle to debate Rudd or Abbott, I can see him carrying a brief case full of graphs!

If you build 3 units you would need to hire a builder. Owner builder can only build 1 every three years. You could put one unit in your name, one on your brother’s, but you’ll need to find one more person you can trust.

Hey Joe,

It is actually 5%. Each council then decides what they want to charge. Eg. Brimbank 2%, Darebin 3%, Latrobe 5%. When you develop in a new subdivision (3+ dwellings) no contributions are payable as the council cannot double dip. The original land developer has already paid this.

Hi RPI, the $28k contributions costs is that just a qld thing? In Victoria its around 2% of land value and only payable if subdividing into 3 or more lots.
