you can pay to have the property professionally valued (by a valuer) then you will be able to ascertaint the intrinsic value. Cost about $300.00. I have done this twice in an auction scenario and found it helped me to decide how much I would pay. First property I was highest bidder and it was passed in, second property I was bidding against a…[Read more]

My previous personal banker (same bank) was great and even released a property for me to go with a commercial lender, I have one property up my sleeve as a P& I, with only $50k owing on it, value $365K, so I figured I could borrow against this if needed.My new banker advised me to sell three properties and my PPOR, buy a 1.8mill PPOR, then they…[Read more]

there is also a nudist camp there , wonder how they go with the flies and mozzies….. and before you ask, I only know this because I took a wrong turn along a dirt road and saw the sign, Sunshine, sunvalley or sun something and went in to ask directions…. at least he had a nice smile…

daviddannai gave you a very good answer… buy large quantities and sell small quantities. Eg buy a property on a corner block, (1,000sqm) subdivide or redefine boundary, sell second block, or build a house for 2nd renter. You only pay stamp duty on first purchase.

I do a Shortstay (www.shortstay74.com.au)in Newcastle hunter area. $120per night double (2 people)+ $15.00 for each extra person/child. Sleeps 9 people, 3 br,2bath,lounge,library,kitchen, verandah,big yard.I charge a $60.00 cleaning fee which is instantly refunded if premises left relatively clean & tidy (eg: no rubbish,bottles inside) I clean…[Read more]

Mop with a solution of lemon bleach and warm water, leave overnight to dry.
Then mop with a solution of napisan (2 cups to a bucket) in warm water and leave overnight to air dry.This worked for me on a property where tenants vacated leaving 2 dogs in the house for 2 weeks to poo & wee.

Just paid $3,220.00 including tiles to tile a complete 3 bedroom house including full length front patio and small back patio.
In Redcliffe Qld.

Hold, hold, hold. My experience , based on two defaulting tenants last year, 6mths loss of rent on one, and 10 months loss of rent on 2nd {tribunal waste of time & money} I was in a position where my back was against the wall, & a noose or a gun would have come in handy then….I just gritted my teeth , put every cent I was earning into the…[Read more]

Tried to find similar property on realestate.com, nothing……so maybe your agent isn’t advertising it via internet…not a good sign. Is the agent intimating that there is not a rental demand in Gloucester – thus leaving it untenanted? What about vandalism?
If you need to sell,maybe reduce the price a little, if you are getting responses to…[Read more]

Saw the show, was not impressed at all , in any shape or form.
First of all, wrapping alone is not sustainable & it can be risky and hardwork, that is why they are trying to cash up with seminars, his “kits” and product information was ameuterish at best. The properties that he was “upselling” or “wrapping” were in a terrible state & almost…[Read more]

I have found Bribie Island, Deception Bay, Burpengary to be excellent return , I was able to buy 3 in BI for under $140K, 6 in DB from between $100k to $134k, 1 in Burp for $98.
i had held off DBay because I was led to believe that it was an undesirable area, however,I have not had any vacancies, minimal repairs,and excellent paying tenants.…[Read more]

Don’t kids leave home when they are 18? (tee hee)[:o)]
how many rooms do your parents have at $20 per week…… sounds like a real bargain….

You could buy a PPOR and rent rooms to other uni students, then move back home after 12 months…. which ever you can put up with the longest.

Just curious, being in year 12, I am assuming that you live at home.
I would think that you would be better off to go for your first home, receive the 1st home owners grant of $7,000.00 and live in it and rent rooms to other uni students…….. and then after 12 months if this is not suitable you could either sell it (no capital gains on own…[Read more]

Mel.,
I mentioned to agent re; 10 & 20% and he replied: “Just get a deposit bond”…… I have used deposit bonds heaps of times but only on property that has the contract signed by myself and the vendor, {and I know it is going through} [:o)]am not sure how it works if you hand over the deposit bond and then you are not successful….
I cannot…[Read more]

Thanks Mel,

It is 10% deposit with tender
then if your tender is accepted you are required to pay
a further 20% deposit within 48 hours or risk losing your initial deposit plus the tender.[:o)]

You could “salary sacrifice”…….. or pay more into your super fund………or if you had “negative geared ” properties (on paper) you would recieve some of the tax you have paid back as a refund.

Rooney…….

CSA…..if you are a Company entity CSA will not even bother chasing you……….. my ex earns over $300k per annum from “childcare centres” pays absolutely nothing in childsupport for his two children whilst my new partner pays $500.00 per week because he is on a salary. Ex says he only earns $10,000.00 per annum from his…[Read more]
