Next time this prick annoys you say this to him:

“Hi honey did I mention I have a new hobby?

I am kind of a taxidermist, cept I stuff assholes instead – oh and I use a baseball bat instead of stuffing.” Say it in the sweetest voice possible.

I would NEVER live in a property I own unless my lifestyle demanded it (children , fussy wife etc j/k).

MY G/F, best friend and I rent a nice big 4×2 for $185/week (total bargain!).So our share is about $120/wk.

Now I do own a small unit with a tiny mortgage on it of only $75,000, which works out to less than 100/wk in interest.

The thing is…[Read more]

Nice one Spanky!!

Hi KS,

How can you be certain of the profit the development will generate without either (a) a sale, or (b) a bank valuation of the finished product?

How many units/townhouses in the development?

Thanks,

Jay.

Because this is a conservative estimate Jay. I purchased the land for 118k and the house will cost me about…[Read more]

I purchased a block of land in Rockingham 6 months ago. The development will be finished in 5 months and the total gain will be 100k in equity.

Sailesh C is correct – best to buy, develop and hold atm as the costs involved are generally less and the long term cumulative gains are much better for your back pocket.

Apostle，

Perth will never reach the level like Sydney. You got to remember.

No offence amused but this statement it TOTALLY irrelevant as to wether or not those places you mentioned in WA are overpriced etc.

WA may as well be another coutry as it has a different economy – the only good thing is that we are happily suffering the ripple ef…[Read more]

Nice return dude!

Address? – mwhahahaha

Nah – Hope it works out for you – If not let us know why please as I myself am interested in the possibility of a commercial property.

Not trying to argue — just trying to explore different scenarios— Could Ninie say that as she is married she does not have any of those living expenses as she does not work and her husband supports her entirely? So the income from her Capital is entirely “play money” I have not been in the clutches of the banks since about 1992. We in fact have…[Read more]

We don’t want to use my husband’s income to apply for the loan as he has assets that we don’t want to jeopardise.

Now unless you are currently living very close to the danger zone then the careful spending of your money wont jeoparise your other assets at all – just steer clear of high risk purchases.

As long as you go for a few properties with…[Read more]

@Techno —> I HATE YOU!![biggrin]

Nah seriously – well done and good on you, I am dead jealous.

Anyway:

1) 26
2) 35 or sooner (on the 9-5 that is)
3) 35

I intend on improving my existing portfolio, expanding into shares and a business or 2 and then once my ideal PPOR is established will travel and read and write like mad. Not to mention learn…[Read more]

Firstly I want to say I am not by any stretch of the imagination a ‘guru’ and am myself in a similar quandry in regards to buying my next IP – but with very different problems.

Unfortunately the first glaring problem you have is no income.

Essentially no matter how roaring to go you are, without an income base you are going to find doing…[Read more]

Loved the description about your experience with the Really Average Mortgage Service.

I have learnt that although the banks are depicted as the big baddies, they in general have got to where they are by being pretty good and experienced at what they do.

I am now using HOME and have found their service extremely un-professional. At some points I…[Read more]

Nice REDWING – Very Nice

I just fired those 2 off to some work collegues of mine and I can still hear them laughing
