I have a investment property if required?

Hi Duckster,Sorry,probably should explain question better.On a $500,000 house in your state how much would it cost (your own home) for example in Queensland,Real estate agent fees approximatly.In general with selling and then repurchasing an owner/occupier home,Agent $14000,00stamp duty fees $10,000And connections $1000 to $1500Total around…[Read more]

Hi Duckster,Great strategy.

Selling before property stagnates for years was my option and then with the spare cash earning 10% buy back in when it turns.This is my strategy and its worked well over the years.More interest rate rises predicted.Why hold when you can put money elsewhere achieving higher growth i would rather diversify.Dom

THE Reserve Bank's six-year tightening cycle may have hit a peak amid fresh signs that recent interest rate rises are curbing domestic demand in the Australian economy. The central bank signalled for the first time that evidence was emerging that domestic demand could finally be slowing after 16 years of unprecedented economic…[Read more]

Gday Mr Fair Go,Actually i am looking for a business in general. Basically i would like to share the work load with a partner so i am not stuck in the business for 7 days a week. So therefore it would not be a small business such as a home james franchise or etc.Probabaly a medium to larger business which could support both partners.Dom

Neilvs,Great posts and good questions.My answer buy a property if you can and stay their.Because its not going to get any better.Dom

Hello,A lot of talk about interest rates rising until middle  to end of this year. This normally follows a price stagnant period for many years. And decreased buying activity. Would you not sell to free up cash when this happens?And buy into the downturn or park your profit in a high yielding savings account?

After the next 4 interest rates rises it will be to late to sell we will be giving them away.LOLDom

Hello Redwing,Great work. You are certainly investing the right way.Dom

Great discussion guys but are you seriously falling into a BLACK HOLE with this one.(Fill My crack in).LOLDom

Frankston has been good to me to, i know that it is very active at the moment with all the infrastructure ( Eastlink, Marina,etc) I hear that the  perth investors are buying quiet a lot of property and subdividing and developing.Once the interest rates turn around in 2009 -2010 we will see some big gains. Its close to all facilities that you…[Read more]
