    Yes you can. For example, buy a block with your brother/sister etc. You can owner build 2 dwellings on the block where each individual has one each.

    Buy below market value, rent out at market value or slightly higher with a few creative techniques (not difficult).

    Worth buying? Well thats your opinion. The above strategy is fact which I have completed many times this year and as recently as last week. Hard? No! Easy? Not as easy as picking an apple of a tree.

    Good luck!

    Last time i checked it wasn’t up and running. It was a voluntary run site and i guess the volenteers just ran out.

    coops t

    whats wrong with buying property and then sitting on your arse and waiting for the value to rise? Easiest way to make money provided you choose well located properties with scarcity value and you are able to service the debt comfortably with appropriate risk management e.g. interest rates, vacancies.

  • oscar replied to the topic Would You Sell? in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 9 months ago

    Hi Marisa

    Without knowing much about your future goals via property, I would be reluctant to sell a property which has grown above the avarage growth rate.

    E.G. property worth $350k…annual growth rate of 9.5% = $33250 (on avarage). Surely this is far more than any maintenance required per year. That amount is also greater than $10k p.a…[Read more]

    They are really a marketing company more so now. Previously more accounting stuff.

    I haven;t dealt with them personally, however, I know I can buy better property myself. It seems they play the ‘cashflow’ lines on overpriced property through depreciation and rental guarantees.

    I wouldn’t compare him with the guys on the seminar circuit…he makes his money by finding deals for himself and his chosen investor clients. The amount of deals he has going at any given point is just amazing.

    If people put the same amount of energy they put into worrying about interest rates to putting together DEALS, it won’t be a huge issue!!

    You should put your more energy into things you CAN control.

    As for interest rates, all you need to do is make an opinion and be prepared for any future movements…..not predict it.

    Can very, but generally the following:

    1. 10-20% margin on market price of the property
    2. 1-2% interest margin
    3. as for repayments, it varies from area to area. i.e. market price on properties. I’m completing one at the moment where the repayments are $225 per week and the market price of the property is $115k.
