    I only opened this post to apply for the modelling job?

    however..

    Have a look at Jaffasofts site at the bottom of my post, it should help somewhat also when working out costs..

    Option 1- Speak to the builder

    Option 2- Call Scott from Depreciator

    hmmm if time really is money how much does it then cost to

    *go to the loo

    *make a coffee

    *watch your favourite TV show

    if time “is” money is someone who ‘arrives’ prematurely really just a spendthrift?

    All points to ponder??

    The local shire should also have details and a good settlement agent would’ve provided them to you IMO.

    Seriously, is this an issue? I looked up what’s available after reading Ausprop’s comment, and the RE seems pretty cheap. Is this because you’re buying the Perth equivalent of the home from ‘The Castle’?

    Old houses, also a problem area which Bassendean council are trying to rectify by decreasing Homeswest housing..albeit slowly.

    It’d be easier to post where “not” to Invest in WA at the moment as everything is still going great..

    My preference is for areas in Perth and I believe the reverse ripple will see benefits here, throw in possible interest rate rises higher fuel prices etc…

    See in WA that DHW are launching a new strategy (draft phase) including shared equity to assist new home owners..

    Sorry to be off topic DrX

    Thats the added bonus with that type of structure isn’t it..you can allocate income to the the beneficiary in the best position to benefit?

    Notwithstanding the other benefits..

    I dont follow?

    [worried]Which part?

    Dazzling is the resident Commercial expert here (IMO)and has certainely been in the deep end, he loves C IP’s and cant see why we have Residential ( I was going to put R IP’s then thought against it..bad acronym).

    Asfor the other part, I agree residentail rents are rising as well, we have recently increased our rents..

    We did our last property ourselves and used “Pedrinni Painting” to do the doors and frames..

    Turns out they used a subcontractor anywhere when I talked to him as they are a huge company and very busy..the subby did a great job and gave me his number (somewhere..)

    As for carpets our contact has since passed away so I’m none the wiser there?

    I’d be interested in building up a list of contacts that people on the forum are happy with aswell, whether it be
    *painters
    *carpenters
    *builders
    *landscapers
    *gardeners
    *Reticulation people
    *electricians
    *air conditioning etc..

    I really need to get my current contact list into excel and be a bit more organised i think…then add to it.

    Sometimes you have to weigh up costs, time etc and whether to do some stuff yourself or get the pro’s to do it..

    Didn’trealise there was a meetingon until I read this today..I may have attended (would’ve been my first time) I use DEPPRO once until I started using Depreciator..

    Walking around the properties in Perth with Alistair and chatting with him, plus interacting with Scott (Depreciator from the Forum) has been invaluable..

    Let me know when the ‘next’ meeting is on ;o)

    I agree with suzieQ that the forum is much more valuable than any clubs..

    Thanks

    Simon

    Check out REIWA but remember it’s old information.

    Best bet is to get an idea from there and then speak to local REA’s..

    Hi,

    I’m rather new to this but being from WA your posts looked interesting. I work for an investment firm in Fremantle, WA and it’s not just residential rent thats rising – with all the resource activity up north filtering down to the CBD, commercial space is being eaten up faster than it can be offered. And the old rule of supply and demand means commercial leases are on the rise too.

    PWA..Sssssssshhhh..Now we’ll never shut Dazzling up [biggrin]

    We have increased all of our rents on IP’s over the last few months as they became due, tenants are happy as it’s happening across the board here..

    Hello,

    I am looking to find out the golden rules for buying units as in investment in the metro areas of perth.

    I know some of them are;

    Try and get a unit with a min of 50square metres as it affects LMI
    Try and get a ground floor unit
    Make sure it has a carpark

    I am looking in the tuart hill, vic park, burswood, rivervale, ossie park, wembley, glendalough areas.

    Any other good tips from forum go-ers? The unit is for my girlfriend to buy as an investment. She doesnt want to spend too much, doesnt want it to be to -ve geared. Just a nice easy first investment unit.

    As 007 said do a search on the BC and see how it stands financially..

    IMO I wouldn’t get a unit in a complex with a lift or a pool, I also wouldn’t get a unit in a group of over 12-20 units..as for me there is then to much competetion for tenants and harder to raise rents.

    However, thats just me and its worked well for me in te past..however, you need to look at what market you are trying to hit and go for it..

    I have a friend who has about a dozen units some in North Perth area and the others in Wembley area (with Lifts[biggrin]) and he does well with them..

    CG on units has been good of late (about 42.5%in 12 months in Morley where we have one)

    Clay tiles are harder, stronger, heavier and more expensive IMO

    Clay tiles look better are more durable etc, but as they are heavier will require a stronger roof structure…they also provide better cooling in warm climates (hot Perth days).

    Concrete is lighter, cheaper and easier to install.

    Remember light colours reflect heat dark colours absorb heat..

    I’d say check out Borals, Moniers etc sites for more info or even archicentre Wayne..as thats about the limit of my knowledge above..
