I can’t believe you have said ‘we’ when referring to the Kiwis!

The least they could do was get our anthem right – I didn’t know we had the words ‘nah nah nah’ in it!!

I think our girls were so shocked, that they lost the plot cos they didn’t know who they were playing for…

Hey Muppet

Maybe email admin @ propertyinvesting.com – that way the request should definitely be seen? Unless Steve has already responded – at which point I’ll shut up[blush2]

Brady, have a look at realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, and others that people have mentioned. That should give an excellent start..

brahms, by ‘cash out’ do you mean if I were to refinance a property to put cash in my pocket for no particular reason?

Guys, I haven’t been investing whilst interest rates were 17-18% (I was school), but remember that at that same time inflation was at 10-11%, so ‘real’ interest rates weren’t that bad – really!!

I believe people did struggle, and would think that less people could afford to buy, therefore increasing the supply of tenants, increasing…[Read more]

If you are staying in England for any length of time, why not invest there?

Otherwise, with your income, you could probably ‘quite easily’ afford to buy several growth properties that will be -vely geared, and require some cash from you. I don’t know what the tax situation is for you, and whether you can claim any losses now, but if you…[Read more]

Ah John, it’s interesting what you hear from ‘users’ of a system versus ‘sellers’….

I guess the system is only valuable if you can then find goods/services that you ‘want’ to buy from the current members.

I was ‘sold’ on the idea last year, but didn’t in the end see much point cos I didn’t sell any services etc. to earn the points…

Miler, as the others have said, do a bit more checking on the other costs.

I like the sound of it as a starter – but what is your strategy? Do you want cashflow, or growth?

Is there any growth for this property? Can rents come down, or will they always go up? IS it furnished, and do you or the company own the furniture? Are you buying from…[Read more]

Hey guys

I’m not saying it’s a problem, but just make sure you do get it in writing. I’ve done it before – on a 30 day settlement, and one I’ve negotiated for my brother is a 6 month settlement, where we have access, but it’s via a much reduced ‘rental’, and we can renovate as much as we like before settlement…

Hi Matt

Welcome to the forums. Hope you get a lot out of your time here.

In regards to your question, Westan and I think yack have posted questions recently asking the same sort of question. Have a look…[Read more]

Yes, you definitely need it written into the contract that you want access for renos – you might even need to be specific about what renos you’re going to do.

If it’s not in the contract, then you don’t have a leg to stand on if the vendor wants to get nasty….

Hi frangipani, it also depends on whether your $50K is cash, or borrowed against your house….

As g7 said, read, learn, formulate your goals and plans, and the answer should come with that process…

Jo, I think the call needs to go out to Scott (aka depreciator) on this one….[]

Have you had confirmed by a reliable tradesmen that there is a huge problem with the roof? Or is it exaggeration by the PM/Tenant? Not saying to ignore, but definitely get professional advice..
