    We have our IP’s with different PM’s..makes negotiations easier [biggrin]

    10.5% Is that including GST?

    I thought it was bad in WA at the going rate of 9.35% (our lowest is at 8.5%)

    Good luck with the rent increase $20 p/wk is a big jump (to me) in one hit, the tenant may leave on principle..however, you may just get a better one atthe higher rate, ya never know,let us know how you go..

    Hi Shelley,

    What is your LVR and DSR?

    Will servicing the loan be a problem?

    I think adding “contract subject to this being approved by council first” is fine, however you would need to add something such as that the contract will be signed x days after this is achieved or some such thing..as who knows how long it will take to get council approval, so how do you set a settlement date?

    and also to add a finance clause; would probably be more worrying for the vendor than the above as it looks like you just want a way out if you change your mind..?

    What would you think if the deal was offered to you?

    If you are only looking for tracability? It is easy enough to set up an “Agent ID” on a deposit book with most banks. What it does it allows several different agents (read Tennants or REAs) depositing into one account but each having a different id code. This makes tracking who pays what and when very easy when looking at your statements.
    I can’t recall what they are called, but I remember a friend that has one off-set account against his PPOR collecting rent from 6 other IPs all with their own ID.

    Doesn’t do much calculating, but sure helps sort out the muck and allows easy tracability!

    Cheers

    Never heard of that one calvin, sounds interesting..

    Our statements show the REA companies name and Trust a/c name when rental deposits go in.

    Roofarmers soundsinteresting as well..i’ll go open excel now…

    I thought they allow a certain % of your PAYG Income , plus a % of any of your rental income; If that figure is greater than your loans annual repayments they are happy..

    however, the banks may have different ratio requirements?

    Any of the brokers able to assist here?

    Hmmm..

    Off the top of my head..

    1- Build your Team

    By this I mean find a good broker, accountant and ensure you have other investors upon whom you can *bounce* ideas off (such as this forum [biggrin]), as someone said, you should not be the smartest person in your team (however, question everything and learn along the way..which brings me to..)

    2- Knowledge, Knowledge, Knowledge
    is as Important as Location, Location, Location and IMHO even more so when it comes to Investing.

    Start compiling information and learning how the game works rather than getting someone to do it all for you; you will always look after your money better than others as you have the motivation to do so, however, you cannot go past good advice from knowledgeable people..

    3- Get started now..

    You may not have the cash right this minute but you can sure as heck start building a strategy for when you do have it..best thing is it costs you nothing to start looking in REA windows, free RE publications,speaking to bank managers, brokers and planning your budget etc..

    4 – (BONUS)[biggrin] Know the Costs going in!

    Know the financial statements inside out when you look to purchase.
    What are operating expenses?
    What are the loan payments?
    Vacancy costs and rates?
    Tax- costs and benefits?
    What does the cash flow statement look like? These are key issues that must be looked at before making a solid investment.

    It makes cents to become rich and happy?

    Have you ever read “As a Man Thinketh” by James ALLEN, over 100 odd years old and a great read.

    Not only that but “Applied Knowledge is POWER” the forum and many members can attest to that
