Both books in my opinion are worth their weight in gold. I wouldn't be stressing over $32 or $8. They could potentially make you thousands. You could always start by purchasing the book for $8 and then when you realise how awesome it is you can go ahead and commit to the $32.Once you have read the first edition you won't be stressing about the $32…[Read more]

I have been looking at towns around 2-3 hours away from Sydney. You can still find properties that generate a positive cash flow even that close to Sydney. Though you do need to be creative in your looking.Houses that offer dual occupancy can increase rental yields and houses that need TLC can also offer high rental yields.I have friends who live…[Read more]

Hello,A. With the lease on the car – If you are paying a high interest rate (eg. 12-20%) then it may be worth your time borrowing against your home loan to transfer this debt onto a lower interest rate (5-7%). But this depends if you have the will power to then pay that off.B. If your figures are accurate and you earn $4,200/month and only need to…[Read more]

Sorry but just to clarify. Are you wishing to purchase this property and run it as a business?..getting in people to manage your land and your yields?Or are you wishing to purchase this property and rent it out to some body so that they can run an agricultural business on the land?

Why are you selling it? Why not keep it, find a way to make it cash flow positive and that way it will pay for itself? Then continue to expand your investments and grow your income, instead of selling for a quick buck?If you need money you could always borrow against the equity on the property (if the rents and your cash flow can handle it).Or…[Read more]

I would only consider option 2 if you are in an extremely high tax bracket and you wanted to offset your tax using the depreciation of the property. I don't know if that specific area is high capital growth though…I prefer older houses as you can add value to them through cosmetic renovation (painting a bathroom does wonders). This can increase…[Read more]

This is a question to ask on a public schools/parenting forum…not on a property investing forum. Your question isn't really about property….it is about the education system. However, good luck in your searchRyan McLeanCash Flow Investor Blog

I would definately be careful with one of these companies. You may be losing out on the sale of your land.A few things you should check:- Talk with your lender as they may need to value the property WITHOUT the backyard. You may be then forced to pay down some equity.- Work out yourself what you think the backyard will go for…speak to a real…[Read more]

They are hard to find, but the cash flow you got from them could service your…[Read more]

The biggest thing you have to think about is NOT the banks or the lenders…it’s your MUM.

People always give gifts (especially big gifts) with invisible strings attached. It seems your mum isn’t giving you money to do what you want with it. She is giving you money to do what SHE wants with it. So your easiest option is to just buy a 2-3 bedroom…[Read more]
