It’s all depend on what you want in life.

Hi Richard,

It is exciting to know you are launch No Deposit Housing Pty Ltd.

Bad credit not necessary kill the borrowing.

If it is long time ago, say 5+ years ago, then you still have good chance to get the lending from the major lender(s), providing you have been paying all the creditor(s) on time …etc.

Just like Jamie mentioned above, it’s all come down to what’s on your credit file.

This is a very interesting poll.

Sometimes, people over estimated their ability to renovate but under estimate the existing renovated property value.

What you can do is to negotiate with the buyer on all the terms&condition and price.

Once both of you agrees on thing(s) put down in writing, then use it as a draft to form a formal legal agreement by a solicitor.

Make sure your contract is done by a solicitor who has experience in vendor finance.

Hi Paul,

Put it simply, positive cashflow is a concept which mean more money coming in than the money going out.
Tax (depreciation and capital works) is just paper lost which can help cashflow be more positive.
