  • Milly replied to the topic Manage own rental in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 7 months ago

    http://www.thelandlord.com.au  is a great site for those of us who want to manage our own properties. It has documents for all the states I believe. There is a fee but it's worth it compared to some of the useless property managers I've come across. Just make sure you have landlords insurance. I manage the houses that are nearby.  Thus I get to do t…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic a double murder house cheap??? in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 7 months ago

    And then believe it or not, there are some ghouls out there that love the sound of gruesome murders and such and the chance meeting with ghosts who would love to rent your house. If you're superstitious you could always get a priest to excercise the demons. I say if it's a bargain go for it. milly

  • Milly replied to the topic First investment property stress syndrome in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 7 months ago

    The first buy is soooo exciting. and filled with nervousness.  I wouldnt be concerned about  a one bedder. There are more and more ppl living alone.  (I'm quite looking forward to it  meself).  jump in and have a go. You will learn from the first one. Just keep putting in offers. Outrageous offers.  Someone, somewhere is desperate to sell.…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic How does this forum work?? in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 7 months ago

    I quite like the new format, looking at all the new  posts at once BUT where is the SEARCH option. I used that quite a lot. and it gets boring seeing people post the same question  every month.  The Search option should limit that.  Please bring back the search option or show me where it's hidden. thanks

  • Milly replied to the topic Off-topic- Retirement how much needed. in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    If you go to the centrelink site you'll find just what you will be paid in retirment.  Depending On whether you're single or partnered and depending on  income and assets your  centrelink payments will vary.  Certainly  $350/wk income will affect youre pension but not altogether. Your assets might be a prob tho if you own an investment prop…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic Reaching Financial Freedom through IP. in the forum actually what Terry is 17 years, 8 months ago

    actually what Terry is referring to describes what  I am doing at the moment.  I have say a half doz houses, not necessarily positively geared (some are, some not) .  Basically,  I live off the capital growth. If I have properties worth 2m, despite mortgages of 1.5m, but if the capital growth is 10%/yr, that gives me $200,000 to cream off the top…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic to do or not to do? in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    I'm in a similar situation, call me gutless but I thinking about telling my tennants that  my nephew is going to the area to study at the uni so 'unfortunetly'  they will have to vacate the house. good luck.

  • Milly replied to the topic what you don’t know about “the Secret” in the forum General Property 17 years, 8 months ago

    I totally agree with xenia.  a friend loaned me the teh video and basically it is is about the power of positive thinking. But the zealots on the video seem to ttake it to extreme 'believe you will be rich and you will be'. er in my thinking you do have to do something about it. As Xenia says they hollywood hype of the thing will put most…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic My Nightmare with Rams home loan in the forum Finance 17 years, 8 months ago

    It's run by a sheep for chrissakes. I see his picuture everywhere and want to throw darts.

  • Milly replied to the topic How fast does rental income increase? in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    No not  inflation, supply and demand.  A cheeky friend of mine put up the rent  $30.  Now he would've been negotiable if the tennant  approached him but he also knew that  had the tennant moved out  he would've got his increase. anyways.

  • Milly replied to the topic Sell or not to sell Ipswich property in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    I realise Ipswich is earmarked for  great things. It's a gorgeous city  but lets face it the weather is crap. I dunno how ppl function outside of aircon.  Yes it's a  growing city but that is because it has hte land to support the new developments and state govt is releasing land and encouraging  development. I'm not convinced the price of hous…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic Water in the forum Blondie  you made me over 17 years, 8 months ago

    Blondie  you made me over your commentsabout  payments of electricity and gas by the landfolk  (I say landfolk cos it sounds wierd  calling myself landlord and landlady reminds me of Mrs Roper if anyone is old enough to recall Man about the House) The water situation is certainly going to become interesting when it comes to who pays. As it is…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic bad tenants in the forum No Subject 17 years, 9 months ago

    hey Michelle I love your second option but gees wouldnt Today Tonite have a field day describing the big bad wolf er landlord.

    I used to have tennants who were often a week or more late with their rent. What they don’t seem to realise is that if the money is not in the account, I get a $30 fine from the bank because I wasn’t able to make…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic Dividing fence question in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 9 months ago

    If he was silly enough to build a fence 4 years ago and not ask for your share of the money then Id tell him to go take a flying leap.

    Also he is selling the house. Is it unconditional yet? Soon he wont even own the fence he wants money for.

    ok so I dont know the legalities of the situation but I’d be telling him to whistle dixie and if it came…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic New Qld Smoke Alarm Laws in the forum General Property 17 years, 9 months ago

    You know what really peeves me Amanda about putting in the smoke detectors? Everytime I go in for an inspection after tennants have left, ,the smoke detectors have had the crap smashed out of them by a broom handle and they all have to be replaced. I understand that few tennants have ladders. And I also understand that that intermitant beep…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic Renovate or second IP? in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 10 months ago

    Well I think you should go ahead with the reno and then refinance and use the money for a deposit on the next IP.

    thats what I do.

    good luck

  • Milly replied to the topic Solicitor v’s Conveyancer in the forum No Subject 17 years, 10 months ago

    I usta have a totally uninterested solicitor. Often we had to arrange an extention because he wasn’t ready to settle on the due day. Lets face it, solicitors just sign the dotted line, the office plebs do the work. I ended up doing the conveyancing on one house myself to find out just what was involved. I ran around for a day hand delivering the…[Read more]

  • Milly replied to the topic flats vs house in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 10 months ago

    thanks for the advise. Yes i do believe the flats are teh better deal, just don’t know that I can afford them.

    As for houses depreciating while land appreciats, as a general rule I agree but there will always be high demand for beautiful queenslanders with sprawling verandahs and exquisit fretwork. People want to live in them……that is until…[Read more]
