Dear FatKat,If you want to achieve the highest rent I would suggest re-tiling the bathroom with a neutral set of tiles that will never date.Its not as expensive as people think, I have recently retiled a large bathroom for under $500 including labour, materials and tiles.

Dear Morgage Hunter,I agree it is a generalisation and most stock brokers and financial planners (I hope) trade themselves.However, for those who don't trade they are not exactly going to be upfront about it.I have a lot of friends who work in banks as financial planners and stock brokers and I know for a fact that they dont trade because the type…[Read more]

Dear Wealth4life,Do you think anyone can predict the share market?Honest question, not meaning to be rude.The reason I ask this question, is because its amazing how many financial advisors and stock brokers out there who have never traded themselves, yet are some how experts to give others advise.Kind Regards,Mark LeithProperty AdvocateGlobal…[Read more]

Dear 1Winner,30 years was just an example as this is a typical term of a home loan.If you are 50 years old then your strategy is still the same buy and hold em, you dont make money by simply jumping in and out of the market. The entry and exist costs alone should be enough to detract any sensible person.My father died at age 62, whilst I hope that…[Read more]

Dear Shel, I don’t know why my message came out so garbled but the summary of what I am trying to say is this: As previously discussed it is important to remember in Real Estate that you are buying time not Real Estate. Over the last 100 years of Real Estate in Australia property on average has doubled every 7 to 10 years. Consequently, a prope…[Read more]

Dear Shel,Knowledge is power; miss-information is a killer The first step to buying property is to establish your buying or lending capacity.
