    Rather than a term deposit..most banks offer better returns on their on-line accounts “plus” it’s on-call and easy to access..

    I agree with Derek..decide on a strategy that suits your personal situation and needs, expolre your options.

    Talk to a good Mortgage Broker now though and look at your options there as well.

    Begin researching and building your team now so your are ready when you find something you are interested in..

    details of house
    3 bdr brick.. $220,000 Rented for $170pw
    Ive been renting my house in Ballarat to a friend and his family for the past 5 years privately.

    I have been charging about 4% of the value of the house. I have raised the rent 3 times in 5 years and when i told him it is getting raised again to $185 he told me I cant as its against the law to raise it more than 3 times..

    I cant see how this could be true..
    Does anyone know about any such law?

    Also Ive been checking the internet for similiar properties in the same area and the asking price is from 200 to 220 pw..

    Thanks,
    Doncossack

    4%…(sigh)

    I can remember when it was 10% of the properties current value for rent ex- $80,000 IP $80 p/wk..easy.

    Must be getting old[cigar]

    Hi GPS..do the research ourselves, as i enjoy finding out as much about the area as possible..

    Use council web-sites,REA’s (You can get great info from a friendly one, such as access to RP Data etc, Google is also your friend as is the state REI…as you would well knowthere is a wealth of “Free” information out there..Ialso concede that you probably get what you pay for in many cases..

    Great question..

    We Settled Today on an IP [biggrin]after problems with the banks and resending documents to and fro..

    On the way to pick up the keys in 1 hour [thumbsupanim]

    Have some problems to look at and I’ll post a question for assistance here on the forum; sorting that out will raise the rent and ca$hflow..

    We’ll then take stock of our situation and then make our next move

    LOVE DrX’s Response..

    ShelleyD..I’m sure the Mortgage Brokers here can assist if you post some details, there are a ton of loan products out there for various situations..(I take it that was the point of WASPS post..lets solve the problems?)

    Yep…It’s never “yours” until both parties have signed the documentation..

    Your Idea sounds interesting GR..If the REA’s dont know about it though, I can see them being difficult or hesitant when presenting your offer to the vendor?

    Not initially +CF Bob..

    It would be now with the deposit I’ve put on it, plus it will be a fully furnished (more cash flow) and of course I’ve enlisted Scott of Depreciator fame http://www.depreciator.com.au to get a QS schedule done on the property, as it looks like depreciation heaven to me what with all the quality fittings and fixtures.

    Rents in the area are quiet good and the area is only about 10 years old, with more development and infrastructure happening..all positive news.

    If you have access to GOOGLE EARTH check the area out via satellite and have a leisurely drive around ELLENBROOK, the VALE and the SWAN VALLEY..stop in for a great Hot Chocolate at the Margaret River chocolate Factory or try the free chocolate samples or drop into one of the many restaurants, café’s, wineries, boutique breweries, market gardens etc..the area is ‘very busy’ and has huge potential IMHO, at the least it’s worth a look.

    happens a lot nowadays..especially in a rising market.

    In Perth at the moment i’ve seen properties stay open to offers for a week or two; you submit your best offer along with others and in most cases the highest offer gets the deal or gets to negotiate, whereas in the past years if you put an offer in, then in a lot of cases the negotiations were between you and the vendor only (no one else got a look in)..

    Good for the seller, not so good for a buyer………

    A friend gets around this by doing as J has said (offfer is on the able for 24-48hrs)

    I agree with talking and treating the tradesmen on a friendly basis,they probably earn more than you anyway..

    The more questions you ask the better informed you will be (just like the forum I guess)..you can pay for problems to be fixed but adding to your knowledge base is invaluable..

    Sorry, no bad plumbing stories..
