I am busy taking notes. To think I have been buying in low demand areas without capital growth  lol

Gotta love the media

I agree with Jacm

The simple answer is you need to understand the market you are looking at like the back of your hand

How close is the site to public transport and shopping. My experience shows that properties close to shops and public transport are easier to sell and of course rent.

The other point to consider is if you are looking at small…[Read more]

Hi I would agree with Andrews comments free meeting working out what they can sell you. Frankly you will get a lot further dealing with someone like Andrew because he will charge you a fee but he is working in your interests

You could also consider our club if you are after quality education

I think out of all the states we are likely to see strong capital growth over the next 12 months or so. I have felt for a long time that Brisbane is under valued especially in the inner city areas. Especially with a Pro development government

The divorce laws generally are very unfair.

In many cases the men are left without there children and often do not have any money to live on.

Also Happy New Year to all our American Friends

I thinks its because so many companies use gross figures to sell American properties. When you look at the net figures it can come back a long way especially when you consider states like Texas have a 3% property tax

The simple answer is yes if you establish a line of credit you can use that money for whatever you like. 

So if you buy a property overseas you can take funds from your line of credit and use it as a deposit. However what you have to consider is that you will have to pay the interest that you use off shore and in most cases it is not…[Read more]

I think the first thing is to work out a plan as to where you want to go. One of my favorite quotes is measure twice cut once in other words consider your plans carefully before taking action.

We have placed clients directly into development projects which gives they the option of making a cash return or keeping a property at close to cost

Thank you for your kind comment. Yes we are very proud of her. We are doing everything to encourage her. My wife and I cannot sing a note so we feel that she has a god given talent.

The best exit strategy to buy in the USA is not by crap in the first place
If you buy $40,000 single homes in bad areas you have a problem

I like commercial properties and that can include small apartment complexes because you can borrow up to 60% oif the value. So clearly the banks see these investments as safer, plus we are at the bottom of the…[Read more]

I think working out what you want to do is difficult and who to trust with your money is even harder

We are setting up the Property Know How Club which will be in all states including Western Australia. Naturally we will be in Melbourne as well as I live their.

Within the club we will also offer partner deals such as Property Development and a…[Read more]

Thats right motherhen

Partnerships are one of the Key things that we do at the Property Know How Club

I think that in a down market also creates opportunities. I can see that a city like Brisbane is currently under valued. 

I do not like boom markets its a little like being on the set of the walking dead. People over pay because they are worried about missing out. In a market like this if the deal works then in the medium term you will make money

I loose track with how many companies are flogging the USA.

Hi I would not by a cbd apartment in any capital city let alone one without car parking. I am sure the agent has told you how people dont need car parking. Once you have brought the apartment everyone will want a car park.

Anyway capital grown on anything the the CBD of Adelaide will be poor, stay clear there are much better deals across…[Read more]

I just had a quick look at there website. There push is house and land packages. The reasons companies like this push house and land is because on average they are making a $30,000 commission. To me house and land packages in out and land packages are not great investments because the returns are not high and the growth also tends to be low.

As…[Read more]

It is important to maximize your returns. To do this it is import to educate yourself about the market so that you can do your own due diligence and you are not relying on the advise of a salesman or a so called investment advisor

In my view if you are going to invest you need to look at properties that provide capital growth. Country areas like Ballaret do not provide positive cash flow so the advice is buy in regional areas where you receive no capital growth. As for buy a hose over an apartment. If you do your research you will find that a good apartment in an inner…[Read more]

That is correct and that's where a lot of people are being deceived. Always look only at net figures as that will tell you from day one whether it is a good investment or not. For instance in Texas there is a 3% property tax now in a gross return that would not be shown. However it could clearly make a big difference to your returns.
If investing…[Read more]
