Hi Peter,

I’ve also noticed properties for sale in drought stricken areas. This is good news for farmers, who’ve had a rough trot (to say the least!) but I don’t understand what these investors plans are…to wrap a house to a farmer? (Soosh might be in DOH! land at present)
There are many issues to consider when purchasing ip’s (including…[Read more]

Hi,

Has anyone tried buying one duty free? Or should I just buy one from DS or OW or HN or HP? etc..
I might add though, that at our table, during the seminar, we had 1 financial calculator and approx 8 people sitting at the table who didn’t know how to use it [:0)][]

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I received this link from Marion, who thought this may be of help for landlords.

Hi 3degrees,

Hi there,

I must agree with Alison here. My old stomping ground of E.St.Kilda is about 10 minutes drive (if that) to where the Oasis is and although you have popular Acland St (long established – cafe society), The Esplanade Sunday Market, Fitzroy St etc It still is the seedy side of St.Kilda. The type of tenants attracted are probably not…[Read more]

Hi there,

When buying off the plan, the common trend is to use deposit bonds, so that your deposit is not tied up for 18 months etc until completion of the building project and subsiquent settlement…
It’s another way to keep your money in your pocket longer. Use the deposit bond instead of your own cash for the deposit. It costs…[Read more]

Hi,

I was reading your posts with interest. On calling some RE agent friends, they were telling me similar things. Some of their web sites were so far out of date, because they haven’t had time to update. One RE said due to the feeding frenzy he had no houses for sale! [] Another said the vendor upped his price by 15K after listing it for…[Read more]
