Hi Simon,
What’re the different between the offset account & Reward Accoumt, I think they are same?
Hi,
How do I begin when I am trying to save for my first IP but am supporting myself and my unemployed boyfriend (besides get rid of the boyfriend[:p])? I have no assets besides a car probably worth $2,000, and no savings.[]
I am desperate to get started as I am sick of spending dead money on rent but just can’t seem to get anywhere with a deposit.
What is the best method to getting started?[?]
Will I be able to get a loan?[?]
How do I go about it?[?]
AND how does the ‘nothing down’ strategy work and will I be able to do it?[?]
Please help a blonde understand…[:p]
Blondie.
Hi blondie ,
How many jobs you/or your boy friends have done per day? My money and savings all from my hard working in my early stage, I take five year to save and do two jobs a day. then i made investment later. All my wealth not come from my parent, I want to solve my parent’s problem and I don’t want to them burden my problems. I told my kids same story. “Your work for yourself, not me!”
i use REI, last month my Ip sprink leaked water,[] my IP needed change all carpet and fixed the pipe, cost abt.$2000, I just paid excess $100 , I think, it’s oo!, Do you think so?
if we bought a property with tennant in place who has signed a contract at a set rental rate till Jan ’05, as new owners is there a way we can “up” the rental?
The agent involved has admitted it should be more and it’s one that “slipped through the system and didn’t get increased.
Thanks, diane
Give the tenant, say an air-con. or a new pergola, you may has a good “excuse” to increase the rent.[]
Bruce I couldn’t agree more. There was a day when a picture said a thousand words, but now thanks to Photoshop a picture can say anything you want it to![:p]
“I look forward to reading the obviously informative discussions on this site and last but not least, for $99 Steve’s buyer beware looks like a great tool and cheaper than some others i have seen, how many people use it?”
I recently bought buyer beware and my intitial reaction was one of disappointment. The templates in particular were far below what I had expected from the advertising. Although I haven’t bought many properties, I have looked at and analysed quite a few, so a lot of what is in buyer beware is not new to me. Also a lot is just extrapolating on the book (0 – 130…..). However, as I worked my way through the book, I did find some pearls of wisdom which, I think, made the purchase worth while. As such (and because the templates are much more nicely formatted than mine and I want to use them), I have kept the pack. It sounds like it will be useful to you as it seems you have not looked at many IP’s, but the fact is, whether or not it will help you depends on your past experience and knowledge and prior reading. This is a risk free investment though as it comes with a money back guarantee. I feel confident in recommending this pack to you.
The head office of the real estate agent (this was a large, national franchise) was appalled at how our friend was treated. My wife had talked to them in between the second and third meeting and sent them her notes up until that point.
