o a deposit bond is another way but you would have to make sure the agent will accept this as some agents do not

work out what your willing to pay, lets say max is $560k then go and get a bank cheque for $56k even if you get the property for $500k it means you have payed a higher deposit but will that matter to you?speak to the agent and ask them, or if this is not suitable as you don't want them to know your interested in the property then inquire about…[Read more]

What is the minimum for QLD?

Maybe start doing work on the outside of the property then up the rent, also if you havn't already do some more research and make sure that you can acheive the price you want.

Try Silver King & Burns, I am not sure if they have an office in Melbourne, I think QLD & NSW only

cool thanks

Also remember that if you put the tenant on a commercial lease then you may be able to get all of your outgoings (even if you do it at a lesser net rent considering the way that water & land tax costs will increase over the  next few years).

I would love to know who it was?

Hi Gary, 5.89% is that fixed for 5 years? if it is that is cheap, but is it still current today or did you look at an old web listing?

do you mind me asking the location of the property, if its in QLD and you give me the street name I will tell you what I think its worth.dont worry I am not interested in buying this as its 15% under valued

If your investment makes a profit then yes nz will want to tax you on that income,Keep in mind nz has no capital gains tax so you will pay no cgt in nz but greedy australian govt will tax you on your nz investment

another question, if i rent a house out as a home office, will I have to pay gst?The property zoning is resi but the property can be used as a home office, so would this be classed as resi and no gst is paid?

Ryan I don't mean to be rude but the property is valued at 15% under what you think its worth and you advertise a website that says you can find cashflow positive deals?

Who is holding the deposit?Vendoragent trustIf its the vendor you could almost kiss that good buy.

Lets say my mate gave me access to his rpdata, and I access the details from my place will he be able to see what properties I have been accessing?
