    CGT is also applicable to your income and personal tax levels for the FY isn’t it?

    Or..

    Post general information here for various Mortgage Brokers to give an opinion..

    Michelle, are your properties cross collateralised, maybe re-financing will free up some money to allow you to invest more?

    Have a look at http://www.loansapproved.com.au (Ed NIXON) for a great article re X-Collateralising.

    Re-Jigging your position can do wonders..

    Plus, I’m sure if you ask the brokers there are some great products out there such as lo-doc, no-doc etc..

    Just don’t overcommit.

    I’m sure some of the great brokers here can assist.

    Hi Adrian..

    Have a look at http://www.depreciator.com.au for information, you can also visit other sites that conduct this type of work such as BMT, Washington Brown, Deppro, Cast etc.. However, I use Depreciator and Scott (of Depreciator)from this forum has always been helpful with all of my assorted Questions.

    Hi Roy,

    1. I’m presently back in Singapore.

    2. Can we arrange to meet up in person when I am next in Perth in early November 2005, to discuss our mutual interests, in property research and property investing in Perth/Australia.

    2.My Australian mobile number is 0418758123 and my Perth home TEL/FAX : 08-93411236 and my email is [email protected].

    3. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, please.

    4. Thank you.

    regards,
    Kenneth KOH

    Hi Kenneth..

    I think Roy is in NSW not WA, but from my limited understanding has done a lot of research into QLD and WA and obviously believes in the areas.

    Probably better for your own privacy to PM him your details than posting them on the open forum?

    Regards

    Must’ve been a slip when he posted KP, the initial Topic Heading shows WA ..??

    I know several people that have IP’s in Kalgoorlie and they are happy with them and the returns, personaly I wouldn’t invest there (only because I like Bigger Cities, Coastal or River).

    Kal used to be a declining population, I’m not sure what the stats are now..

    As for some of the smaller areas out of Kal, IMHO they are riskier still, at the end of the day I guess it depends on your strategy, how long you wish to hold them etc etc

    “The real state of things; fact; reality; an accepted statement or proposition.” Some suggest that there is no true reality, only perceptions and opinions, while others argue that there must be some absolute basis. This being said, we can say that there are two diametrically-opposed beliefs related to absolute truth:

    Either…

    1. There are no absolutes that define reality. Everything is relative, and thus there is no actual reality. There is ultimately no authority for deciding if an action is positive or negative; right or wrong.

    Or..

    2. There are absolute realities, or standards, that define what is real and what is not. Thus, actions can be deemed right or wrong based upon how they measure up against absolute standards.

    Or as I see it “Truth is -a fact that can be verified”? (or is that too simplistic?)

    IMHO I’d up the rent to cover putting in an air-conditioner [smiling]

    I’d think that the unit would probably rent out for a bit more as you have improved Security via the screens etc..the other stuff may just be put down to maintainence (what did the plumber say about the condition of the plumbing in the unit now?)

    Do you think the demands were unreasonable, or are you happy that these items that may have needed fixing are fixed?

    [blink][blink]Now you’ve put me off my breakfast Dazzling..

    We’re looking at the same kind of thing regarding some of our older furniture, which is still in good condition.

    How did you go about establishing a nominal value for these items including crockery, kettles, utensils etc?

    White goods will be easier to establish the value on, plus we’ll buy new kettle, toaster etc..

    Beds, cupboards etc we will get prices on secondhand items (I like aphex’s idea of taking photo’s of the items..handy for insurance as well and I’m sure for a small fee a secondhand dealer will give me a price list on the items..)

    I’ll begin constructing an excel spreadsheet for the items and establishing values.

    I’ve had a look at several sites in WA such as
    http://www.fhsa.com.au
    http://www.radio-rentals.com.au
    http://www.rentalsrus.com.au

    Pretty expensive stuff if you ever decide to rent furniture..with this in mind, it may be an option to rent other IP’s with whitegoods or offer an option to buy; This could increase cash flow[upsidedown]on some properties….ALL our IP’s at this stage have single females or mothers in them, having Security Systems etc in the properties has attracted and kept them IMHO.

    Thanks for the Tip’s [thumbsupanim] If you can think of anything else, feel free to post.

    How much are you paying in legal costs for these documents??

    Shouldn’t be much I’d think?
