Thanks Richard,

It looked to me to tick a lot of boxes but its always good to hear someone elses opinion!

I have sent you a PM regarding my smsf.

Mick

Thanks Gents for your responses.

Richard, I have sent you an email re your Ebook.

Thanks Mick

I thought it was just me!

Your income Daneo!  Separate from your rental returns
 180K @ 5.6% = $195 per week repayments + management rates etc

less improvements in your tax position ……..mortgage insurance, depreciation etc

My sums tell me this property is positively geared!

Surmising a 10% deposit with an income of 50k it should generate $40-$50 per week.  

Not much and a long time!

Bold prediction……1/2% drop

My Family………………and the want to spend as much time with them as possible!

Weed mat or geotextile fabric/bidum would be the best to use.

I would use a river pebble rather than a gravel due to it being smooth to walk on bare footed

 Hi Aussieguy.

Thanks Mick

Mystery,

I think it could drag on indefinitely, however my tenant cant wait forever!

But you are correct it is costing the vendor interest charges daily.

Mick

I am beginning to think the same thing Terry!

Mystery,

The tenants all 3 of them had only been in the property since the day before I first made an offer some 40 days ago…..no formal arrangements just $500 per week rent.

Thanks Terry,

Tenant has moved out , property is still filthy with minor repairs required! The vendor is unable to provide keys to the back door, the Garage, an internal door and the front deadlock.

We have reduced a hold back that our solicitor suggested on Friday from $2000 to $750 dollars today! However the vendor wont budge…….he refuses…[Read more]

Will do Catalyst,

Cant wait to see what today brings?

Gazza,

Livid is an understatement but I keep reminding myself that its business and if I get a good outcome and am not out of pocket too much than it will be OK.

Joe, what scares me is they are actually cooking and eating amongst the filth.

My house also Rick,

I don't think the tenants would know what day it is!

Thanks Jamie,

It is very frustrating, our solicitor has advised that we are going to hold some monies to cover costs  however I am not sure of the legalities?

I would be absolutely happy if the property was as inspected at time of purchase.

Cheers Mick
