you would have to speak to afloat, i only really understood what to do.
as for slum area’s i totally agree, i would not under any circumstances buy sight unseen over there. but there are definetly oportunities to be had. afloat seemed to know what he was talking about, but then again i dont know him from a bar of soap, which is why i asked to…[Read more]

forget my last post, after speaking to afloat on the phone, he has explained how to do it simplier easier and cheaper.

any way i get an EMAIL from her several weeks later saying that she had invited another guy to a party and they had clicked. she was sorry about that and i was such a nice guy but…[Read more]

i have been looking into buying Ip’s oversea’s. basically the way dolf de roos does it. it is very fiddly (and possibly expensive) and you have to set it up correct before you even look for an IP anywhere.
heres how it works (i think)
1. set up an offshore bank account, and international business company (IBC).
2. get accountant in whatever…[Read more]

i have done a QS report for units in canberra and in darwin, both have cost me about 420 dollars each (using different Qunatity Surveyor companies.)

as the unit was fairly old (pre 80’s) he didnt…[Read more]

i am with you on that. its for a friend (yeah yeah i hear you say) but he bought a 2 beddy unit and has stuffed up the loan set up. doesnt know anything about quantity surveyors etc. i was hoping to give him an idea about what a good accountant etc charges, and explain to him that you pay for what you get. i did ring alan and had a good chat to…[Read more]
