Hey Steve,
If my navigation skills are anything like my spelling skills, I recommend you avoid the water for a while [:0)]
Thank G-d I can cook!
Mike’s hair is going to be shorn tomorrow. ‘Saurus declined on the ‘pull test’ when offered at the seminar []
Remember in some countries, women like me are considered rich. I’m sure I’ll get the info on property and perhaps I can snag you an island (freehold).By the way, this was supposed to be a serious topic/post! Warning people about the importance of Due Diligence (dd). I’d still like to hear about the dd Tassy investors are doing.

Hiya,
Obviously Steve hasn’t seen me try and ‘Tilt’ a chocolate vending machine after a crazy shift at the Royal Women’s Hospital [

Could you explain to this ‘City girl’ what a ‘banana bender’ does (I assume this to be a banana picker/grower)?
Actually, how has the drought affected property where you are [?] Are locals moving and investors coming in?
By the by, Do the fruit of the crops taste different? ( I guess that’s like asking if the fish in Tahiti taste different to that of Indonesia [:0)])Sleep time for Sooshie

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 stronger AUD)
I’d like to find out how Tassy ip investors are doing their research on industry?Cheers

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.
national tenancy database site is great, whilst landlords cannot access it directly (unless they have a large number of properties) every one who invests should know about it,Thank you for sharing Marion [^]
Cheerio and Have a great week everyone!

Hi 3degrees,
The ATO is loosing money by tax depreciations and renovation costs claimed by (mainly) negatively geared property. I don’t think that they will particularily change the rules, but they will crack down this year.
This might make interesting reading

Thank you for expanding on my post []Cheers

5 sleeps till Fiji !“Giving is a Blessing, receiving is the bonus”
Hiya Steve,
Full on Mangoes yet[?] [
]
Does Julie’s dad have a boat? I love fishing (except killing the fish when they come into the boat []) I might try some handline fishing in Raki Raki in Fiji.
Moe, Morwell and Traralgon are having issues, but the owner occupier ratio is increasing. Still I don’t think I’d wrap there under just any circumstance []. The demand for houses still exceeds the supply at present. ‘Auctions’ have replaced ‘For sale’ and the RE shops have been revamped. That usually means, money is still rolling in!
After talks with RE’s in QLD, they are gobsmacked by the number of interstate investors buying site unseen or flying up and buying all their stock, even in areas prone to flooding !!!
One agent had his vendor put the price up 15K just after listing it. Crazy times ahead, when it’s time for price correction!
As another comment, I’m always concerned when investors as opposed to homebuyers are the ones forcing prices up.
This is occuring in coastal areas of QLD, WA and Tassy at present. In fact, my friends in QLD and another in Sydney missed out on houses due to investors willing to pay marked-up prices, even with low yields. [?][?][?]
Talking about Rental’s, they have to turn people away (or so they say).
I haven’t got a favourite fishing spot as yet. I’m still concentrating on letting go of a Toadie [].
BTW, I’m not sure about prawns in Fiji, but Mini would be having a feast in Bali with seafood. I’m going scuba diving in Fiji, my birthday present is my advanced open water cert (last year it was an ip!). I might indulge on my actual birthday for dinner though [].
I will however be checking out the prices of property in Fiji (can’t help myself).Who else does industial and environmental checks/research when doing due diligence before purchasing ip’s?
Cheers

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 going to pay 200pw rent.
I would recommend looking at Alma or Inkerman Rd as ip’s. It’s quieter halfway beteen Pharan and St. Kilda. There are pockets of good areas and seedy ones all around St.Kilda, go for a walk and look around before you buy.
Elwood has seen cap growth, but there is still bargains there.Cheers

Hi,
Where abouts do you hail from? This may help people find out how easy it will be for them to hook up with you.

Hi,
Guess who the ATO is targetting this financial year, when the returns role in?
Property Investors.
It was up there on the screen in blue and white channel 10 news.
The sharks are getting hungry! [}]How do you think negative cash flow property investors will fair next to positive cash flow property investors? (Trick question [:0)])

Hi all,
Information on deposit bonds and a calculator at this site.

Soosh []“Giving is a Blessing, receiving is the bonus”
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 though.http://www.moneyst.com.au/depositbonds/about.html
It also has a deposit bond calculator at this site.Cheers

Hi,
I think you could transfer it for ‘Love and affection’ without incurring stamp duty, but in this situation…that would be a far stretch… [

Hi there!
Stuart, the article helped me imensly. TA [
]Minimogul (thanks Mini) posted a link which I’ve looked at. It could be useful to someone at this site, however as with all the links, do your own due diligence. It’s your money your investing with.
Cheers

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 60K, it sold within hours, by an interstate investor!
Buyer beware! I’ve learnt the hard way.Cheers

Hi Mini,
Have fun in Bali… Nusa Dua will be great relax for you, but I think you’ll go bored! [
] Try out the local Japanese resturant in the Nusa Dua Tragia (Matsuri – I think).
Did you take pictures of your reno? I’d love to see them.
When you get back, I’ll be off to Fiji on a scuba holiday for 2 weeks. I’m going to do my advanced open water. Yeah! [8D]
Look foward to hearing about your next reno (the one your boyfriend doesn’t know about yet []) when I get back.
Cheers

Hi All,
New Investor, possibly because it doesn’t have land. Body corp fees, outgoings… etc
Any other thoughts [?]…Cheers

Hi,
I really found this site useful http://www.prosolution.com.au
(Thanks Stuart []) with regards to explaining how to find a loan product .
As I am not fantastic with the finance side of things and I am wanting to learn more, I found this report very interesting and clearly written.
“Buyer Beware – Avoiding The 7 Deadly Sins of Mortgages May Save You Thousands!”
http://www.prosolution.com.au/free_report/free_report.php
It will be interesting to see what happens after 1/07/03 (I won’t be here, I’ll be Scuba diving in Fiji [8D]) I’ll be itching to see the how the new ruling changes interest rates disclosure…
I’m hoping that this may be able to help someone as it has helped me in clarifying how to calculate what loan is best for the situation… Like Steve’s Shape-O (Tupperware).
HIGHLY recommended reading.Cheers
