  • spider_2 replied to the topic How much do I need? in the forum General Property 21 years ago

    [:)]hi WauloK,
    just remember that most lending institutions only like lending around 80% of valuation. after that, LMI (lender’s mortgage insurance) is needed. check out your worse case scenario – what can you afford to lose? do you really want your IP (investment property) connected closely with your ppor (principal place of residence)? if one…[Read more]

  • spider_2 replied to the topic why would you rent a positive cashflow prop? in the forum General Property 21 years ago

    [:)]hi
    remember too, that a renter pays the weekly rent, electricity, gas, phone, excess water and that’s it. the owner gets to pay all rates, emergency services levy, building insurance and repairs and maintenance. the owner also has equity tied up with the loan. many people today are “lifestyle” hunters or unable to come up with the savings…[Read more]

  • spider_2 replied to the topic consolidation in the forum General Property 21 years ago

    [:)]hi
    i would be consolidating, but not necessarily rolling everything into my housing loan. pay off you credit card/other debts as quickly as you can and then start your saving.
    examine your lifestyle. where can you cut back? write down ALL your expenditure for a month and see what you do. it can be scary where the money goes!

    [:)]Hi 007
    Do some homework –
    Check out the rental needs of the area :
    * is there a demand?
    * what are the rentals p.w.?
    * why are they being sold?
    * what work needs to be done to them?
    * are any subject to HIA orders?
    * what are employment prospects in the area – rising, steady or declining?

  • spider_2 replied to the topic When times get tough in the forum Hotch Potch 21 years, 1 month ago

    [:)]
    Be aware that the banks tend to view all partners in a property responsible for the loans, so that if one falters, the other(s) will be called upon to service the debt. It also affects your borrowing capacity as banks will view the whole of the outstanding loan, not just your part, when considering a future loan for another IP. There is also…[Read more]

  • spider_2 replied to the topic Property Manager What she didn’t tell me in the forum General Property 21 years, 1 month ago

    [:)]Hi Casey
    Check out the topic “selecting a PM” – there is a great post from someone on questions to ask a prospective PM

    [:)]
    Hi Suzieq
    Interview the PM and ask what they will do for you for the 9%. Let them know what you expect from them. Interview them as they would a prospective tenant.
    We have PMs for three of our IPs and they are all 3000+kms away. Wouldn’t be without them, especially when things go a bit awry, then they are worth the percentage we pay them and…[Read more]

    [:)]
    Keep on thinking like that and it’s all the better for the rest of us!
    Having attended one of Steve’s seminars and read his book, I’ve learnt that I have to think differently/creatively when presented with a problem that seems insurmountable.
    Those properties do exist, they just require a little more searching.

  • spider_2 replied to the topic Tax?? in the forum The Treasure Chest 21 years, 1 month ago

    [:)]Hi Ernest,
    Whether you use an accountant or not, you submit your return at the end of the financial year. Keep all your records of income and related expenditure for your IPs. This will help you keep track of what you may be up for at the end of the financial year.
    We use an accountant, because the tax laws are hard to keep up with!

    [:)]hi milton
    cashflow is more involved than monopoly. you have to keep a balance sheet – it’s a great way to learn about finances. besides property there are shares. it provides an opportunity to try different strategies for accumulating wealth. the ultimate goal is to get out of the rat race and get into the fast track where your dreams are. our…[Read more]
