Hi Jon,Thanks for your reply! That is great to hear as the units are all ground level units. Sounds like my only hurdle will be ensuring all owners agree. Do you think it would be a good idea if I put together a quote or proposal of the project or will this put the owners off. Can you suggest any reason as to why the owners may not want to go a…[Read more]

Hi Else,Yes the thought of lowering the rent was an option however he is already on a great deal, its been one of those property's for sale whereby becuase the rent is so low people interested in buyer the property seem to not want to put in an offer.

Hi Michael,Its funny when you dont know what your doing we will do anything, when we get expert advice which I should have done in the first place we make the right decisions the first time round.There is tenant who will be residing in the property for 10 months and because of this I will have to pay $8450 in stamp duty where if he had only been t…[Read more]

Hi all,Iam in QLD. No I already have buliding and finance in contract. I understand that because my solicitor or myself have not seen a signed contrac from the Vendor and I have not paid my deposit that there is no binding contract?!Cheers Mat

Hi Steve,Easier said then done, but your right  in saying take away all the reasons for them to say no!

Thanks for that, yes you are right a sufficient paper trail is a key to being successful.

I will definetly be trying to get ahold of Steve’s DVD.

Unfortunately I live in Brisbane, dont know if you know any reputable persons up this way that can help.

Whether we like it or not advice has come direct from the horse mouth (Finance Banker/Lenders) that having trusts can:

1) Slow down the…[Read more]

Thanks everyone for your feedback however im still not convinced Trust cannot discourage lenders from taking you on when it comes to borrowing $$

Cheers Mat

Hi Brett,

Yes I have actually purchased the Trust Magic- Dale Gatherum booklet at http://www.businessmall.com.au however the booklet explains how the trusts can be utilised, not which trust to chose, it presumes you already know about trusts.

The Wealth Guardian Package maybe my only option.
Cheers Mat

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for that. What sort of results do they publish on ABR.

Cheers Mat

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for that feedback. Yes have had access to those sites as well. Yeh your right it is possible the real estate agent can help you there, just that its never guaranteed.

Cheers Mat

I have 101 & 102 software version, and I think they are both excellent. I dont have much time myself, but I make the time to use it. Its amazing how much the game reminds you of real life transactions! It not only teaches you but ensures you are always thinking outside of the square. The computer is fun as well. The games are expensive and I would…[Read more]
