Dear All,

1. My ability to invest in Australia would be slowed down if the negative gearing tax benefits is removed.

2. Will this happen in the near future? Quite unlikely, I think;- in view of what has happened in the past.

3. Furthermore, I do not think that the Australian Govt wants to singly shoulder the responsibility of providing…[Read more]

4. It is NOT A CLUB. They are a business which makes money. But if it didn’t make money then it wouldn’t be around. At least with the Investors Club they are there to help you, and guide you.

The day of the expat on a full expat package is gone. Most foreigners here today are on local or semi-local terms. Gone are the $14k monthly housing allowance for the most part. It’s not easy being a landlord now.

Dear Baloo,

I agree with your views.

Thank you.

Hi Chief Wigam,

Districts 9 10 and 11 are in Orchard, Tanglin
Holland and River Valley. Very expensive areas.

Good idea investing your rental allowance into property.

I think condo’s around the 2 future casinos will do well. The Carribean/ The Berth/ The Sail at Marina Bay.

We bought into The Berth.

Rents always drop in winter and go up 10%-15% in summer. It’s the old storey of supply and demand.

Absolutely Redwing,

I think in WA we are seeing general rents rising by 5 or 6%…about time too. Tenants have had it far too low for far too long.

Personally, I’m negotiating jumps ranging from 12% up to 60% on past leasing levels that were woefully inadequate.

Corporate profits are up, especially in resource…[Read more]

HE SELLS CONTROVERSY

How could you discuss his…[Read more]

Have you considered No/Low Doc Loan? JVs?… JV with Bob perhaps as he needs a partner strong in cash?
