The worst case scenario is when there are no tenants and the landlord has to go and work in the brothel to meet the loan repaymants

Thanks for that – I did actually try it last week but I had difficulties…the program updates system files and as I am at work the administrators wont allow that. I will try it at home. Does anyone else have an app in excel?
Thanks,

Hi Quasi,
my q relates to sourcing the property. I spent nearly a year and well over 100 inspections to find my PPOR so Im hoping not to go thru all that again to find an IP.
I guess if I could narrow it down to 2-3 suburbs I could get to know that area well but then I really want an area with positive gains as well as CG and I dont know which…[Read more]Spocky replied to the topic Properties wanted in the forum The Treasure Chest 21 years, 7 months ago

Hi Fullout, and everyone, I am totally new to this but could you please tell me where on earth you can buy a property of $83,000???
I am in Melbourne and keep being told to buy around 10km from the CBD but $250,000 is the starting price for small 1-2 bed units. They will of course be neg geared at about -$100pw. Please help.
