    Alistair,
    You know I didn’t. That’s from a private email send to friends….

    But you are right, it is my friend’s, not mine. He asked me to help and so I posted it. No need to complicate the message unnecessary.

    Bottom line is, we are looking for an interested party to help.

    Chris,

    It’s Erik Reurts. Good to see you’re stil here. Not sure what you are aiming for with this message though….

    Something for you, I have a friend with a house in Minchinbury on 700sqm. House next door is going for sale and there are town houses in the street already.

    Interested in looking at it or would you know somebody that…[Read more]

  • micah replied to the topic Bl**dy Banks.. in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 1 month ago

    Here’s a suggestion…
    Use a broker, make him do all the running around. They should be pretty good as this is where their income comes from and you can blame them if it does not flow through as you need it to.

  • micah replied to the topic first post, large post in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 1 month ago

    If this is your first, there might be things you have overlooked (if not, don’t be offended by the suggestion…) so let me point out some things to research:
    1) do you have a QS report (claim all taxable items)
    2) Have you done the ATO form to get your deductions through your paypack?
    3)their might be loans on a better rate to go to.

    Finally,…[Read more]

  • micah replied to the topic rental difficulty in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 2 months ago

    Here is what I normally do: If you had not signed an exclusive agreement with the agent (and I hope you have not), list the property with 2 other agents. This is not unfair to your agent, it encourages working for their money. Make the management subject to finding a tenant. This way, they have an incentive to get a tenant in your peoperty first…[Read more]

  • micah replied to the topic Long term opportunity, short term hurdle in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 2 months ago

    I agree with Giulio,

    Find a money partner or create equity somewhere else to draw from and suplement cash flow short fall. There is always a way if you truly believe it is worth it.

    Cheers,

  • micah replied to the topic um…..anyone like these numbers? in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 2 months ago

    To many unknowns…
    What type of property is it?
    Where is it (not in Oz by the sound)
    Do you have to take the finance with the property???
    Is the vacancy rate “proven”?
    Why no insurance cost?
    Age of the property
    Plans effecting rentability
    Some things to think about

  • micah replied to the topic Buyers Advocates in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 2 months ago

    Dear Octagonal,
    They can be a good source for information and good properties. Appart from them, have you considered property clubs? (Like minded people in the area with a passion for property). There is a few of those around as well. Anybody know anything about the investorsclub by any chance?

  • micah replied to the topic $$$approx cost to build duplex in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 2 months ago

    There is builders that will help and do site survey’s (Masterton in NSW does it). Try a large builder in your area and ask the question.

  • micah replied to the topic Development – Builder Finance in the forum Value Adding 19 years, 2 months ago

    Rellie,

    Why do that? You mention completing, so has the development started? If so, there is value you can possibly borrow against rather then give one away. Some more information is needed to be able to help.

  • micah replied to the topic Pool or no Pool in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 2 months ago

    Robo,

    I was thinking the same and then I found out there are 3 pools withing 15min from where I live… No ongoing cost, no cleaning up, no restrictions as to when I can use it (2 are heated and indoors) so I decided not to get my own.

  • micah replied to the topic Loan process sucks when they get it wrong! in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 2 months ago

    Dear Jennyl,
    Focuss on what you can do. Call your broker, make him aware of the possibility you could loose the next deal. Have him put urgency on ANZ (possibly with mention of ombudsman)and give them a deadline to sort it out. Unless people have been given a timeframe/deadline, they decide for themselves how urgent jobs are… Be friendly but…[Read more]

  • micah replied to the topic Equity in the forum Finance 19 years, 2 months ago

    Spi,
    The concept you are using is correct. Available equity is value minus existing loan. In reality you will have less available (otherwise the bank is giving you 100% finance) You can get very close to 100% though, depending on which lender you use.
