Hi there

I live in Sydney city and there is no way i would be in the property market if I could only buy where I live.

OK so I go far. how far? Close enough to be able to visit at fairly short notice if I need to. No, i don’t inspect the properties. i have a builder do that. I only need to see pictures of the inside and out and beyond that…[Read more]

haha!!! people will be saying ‘you are 12 months too late’ forever.

Hey, you might be 12 months too late to get 12 months ago ‘s prices, but cast forward 12 months and the same will be true…you dig???

hi muppet

that was the name I already had and was thinking of using, I have already used them (though not him) for insurance broking, it’s good to get a second opinion!!

thanks for that

I would try to buy 5-6 freehold properties returning at least 100 per week in rent. 40 to 50K each. Location *you know where*.
The rest of the money to fix them up. Then get them all valued, tenanted, then go to bank with print out of some lovely paperwork from your flash I am Professional Investor software, including pictures, values, figures,…[Read more]

In NZ!!!

I have someone in mind to use but just before I do i thought i would canvass the fellow homiez here to see if anyone has had a good experience and wouldn’t mind referring me….

(yeah BC!)

A sentence out of an email I got just now “I still can’t get over
the abundancy of high yielding properties”….

so it’s not just me out there finding deals – and we’re in the same world that you are looking in.

Some more help – if you spend 220 at residex.com.au you can get a list of the postcodes most likely to have +ve cashflow…[Read more]

I agree that you can’t get that kind of priceless local knowledge info without being on the spot. But if I was limiting buying where i could ‘be on the spot’ I wouldn’t have bought any by now- !! And as it happens i have three – none of which I inspected in person before i bought!!! (but had a professional do it!!!)

what led me to being…[Read more]

hi there hungry,

sorry to hear you’ve missed out so far but keep making offers and you’ll get one eventually. I have been hearing that there are properties on the net still that have already been sold though, but I am expecting that we’re coming in to the season where more houses are put on the market, i think spring is a time for movement. The…[Read more]

hey pinky,

I don’t have people in my ‘real life’ that I can bore stupid with the ins and outs of property investing either and so I post a lot on the forum. we’re all mentoring eachother, really!

My motivation….hmmmlesseee….
I like the thought of being successful – not just creatively, spiritually, physically, intellectually, and emotionally but also financially. In fact I think that a successful person is successful in all those areas.

becoming financially independent – or ‘free’ – just means freedom in all areas. to me this is a…[Read more]

Hi Davo,

I don’t actually know about landlord’s insurance specifically – what that means.
I think an insurance broker would definitely help.

When insuring my houses (which were worth 25-35K) my mortgage broker gave me two prices, one based on total replacement (1200 p,a,) versus around $290 P.a. (up to a dollar amount.) The basis of that was…[Read more]

hi Karen

I think Rotorua is a fabulous place, it’s one of the top tourist destinations, it has a lot of beautiful lakes all over the place i.e. a lot of waterfront properties!! – and about a year ago it was a hot place to buy because it had capital gain as well as +ve cashflow. (think maybe cap gain has flattened a bit lately ???) Yes it smells…[Read more]

yes true westan

I was able to turn a 20 percent return on the list price into a 29 percent on just by negotiating.

It wasn’t a piece of cake though – I’d done some hard core statistical anaylysis-type research of actual sales versus GV’s in the area which meant that I’d come up with a figure which I thought was exactly how much I *should* get…[Read more]

“Where is the underlying population demand into the future for those hot spots of residential property speculation in areas such as rural Victoria and Tasmania’s east coast?”

OK…anecdotal evidence here, but I know several city dwellers who are sooo not property investors, who are selling up their city properties and translating them into m…[Read more]
