    low bids….

    im a really low ball player, and a hard negotiator, but thats me, but if you buying for market value and want to make some profit, your gonna have to wait till the market shifts and moves and property prices go up.

    But lets say if you can purchase the property under market value and then sell it at market value, at least you can cover your closing and opening costs.

    There was an early thread about this on the forum not long ago. i think the thread was called “Buying at a fair market value” or sumthing like that.

    Though if you can buy a property under market value and sell above market value, thats a good done deal.

    But in my ideas and words “Buy at a profit, sell at a profit and leave some profit”

    cheers guys

    Hi Team,

    Actually there is another way, to do this and this protects the vendor, the real estate agent, you the spotter and the purchaser.

    How this is done is that a contract agreement form is created and actually can be downloaded from one of the government websites.

    This contract of agreement is set as were, a spotter is able to purchase the authority like the real estate agent to sell the property as a middle person between both the real estate agent who is the 3rd party and purchaser, and be able to gain a small comission as being a middle person(spotter).

    The agreement is set out, as were the agent agrees to sign a contract were the spotter is give say 1 week – 2 weeks to sell the property, before the agent takes away the spotters right to sell that property.

    The agreement stipulates that the agent can not sell the property to anyone else until the contract between the real estate agent and spotter has expired. In this period of time, its up to the spotter to find a purchaser, who is interested in purchasing the property, the purchaser can not go directly to the real estate agent to purchase the property as an agreement is drawn up, stipulating that the agent cannot sell the property until the spotters time frame or period is up.

    Doing this protects the spotter from, someone sourcing out the deal from them, and then trying to go directly to the agent and have just used the spotter for finding the property yet cheating them and not dealing through them.

    Im not sure of the site, were these forms are downloadable, but i know PropertyGuRu has been able to get copies of this, yet he is on holidays at the moment.

    hope this helps
    cheers

    Hi Guys,

    Aiming for 15% returns is gonna be quite hard in this market, the sis rule is designed for finding +ve cash flow properties that will put money in your pocket.

    Even in this market, i will admit it is alot harder to find them and that i have only found a very few in the last few weeks that come near or just past the sis rule, but nothing as yet, as high as 15% in this hot market with hot raising interest rates.

    though what ever rule works best for you, and finds your property deals, must be a good rule. But the sis rule is intended to help filter positive cashflow properties that are now working against interest rates of 7%.

    cheers

    Hi Kay Henry,

    Thanks heaps, though sounds like a good thought, though, i rather just think, ive been lucky and share it with you guys, the more successful stories to me, are single parented parents, bring up a few children and managing a full time job, while also managing a property portfolio….. to me this is more impressive and a much higher and better achievement, and something that i would be more enthusatic to read and put a smile on my face.

    Thanks heaps though

    cheers

    Hi Ashley,

    Some of us younger investors, are still in uni, tafe or some sort of academic structure and doing parttime, or fulltime jobs, its really how well you can manage your time and put time aside to do your property research.

    Others on here, work fulltime and have kids to look after, yet i think these people inspire me more, for these people who have kids and are able to manage a full time or part time job and still find time to do property investing, are the ones that have to be noted for their effort and congratulated on a job “Well Done”

    Other than that, some people do property investing as a full time job, and have either retired or take time off work to reach and target their investment goals.

    cheers

    Hi Amateur,

    Welcome to property investing and enjoy your stay here.

    To answer your questoin,

    Positivly Geared – The property has enough rental income to look after itself, by this it can pay all expenses, and payments due and put money in your pocket at the same time.

    Negativly Geared – The rental income is not enough to cover all cost, so you have to subsidse out of pocket expenses at your own cost.

    cheers

    Hi Kay Henry,

    Majority of the properties have gone up in value of $40k and up, one of my negative geared properties went up about $150k in 2 months, the market value for it, is now around the low $400k and is situated in Wavell Heights about 10mins from the heart of Brisbane city, the first 3 i purchase are about double the price now. With a currnet market value of $220k – $270k each. Most of my properties are in metropolitan areas, though i only have a very small few, purchased in country towns.

    But for about 5 of the properties now, they are all over and above the $200k mark.

    cheers,

    Bruce,

    oh boy…. man, take a chill pill…. relax, this is a forum, you must understand and realise why others, here are not happy with your intentions for exposing somes efforts and deals to locate +ve cashflow for other investors and people on here.

    Sometimes you have to let things go and sit back and watch, im sure that the people who were interested in Bears’ deals would have futher done more due dillegence, and figured for themselves, if either they should carry on with a spotters deal.

    But for what you have have done, and carried on like this, im sure many of us, are now thinking twice before advertising or mentioning +ve cashflow properties, its people like you…. who ruin things for other people and further benefits, that they could of, or have recieved, many great deals or statistical information, that can be very helpful for many of us.

    Hi Redwing,

    I know Margaret Lomas, i have met her and have had face to face conversations with her, we email each other every now and again, If you are interested in her books i know that she has 4 books out as current and her fifth book i think is due in March.

    Margaret Lomas is more like a financial advisior, very helpful lady, big believe in depreciation she is, and also quite well know for purchasing properties and have never seen or viewed them before. What else, can i say…. shes been divorced and remarried and i think has 2 kids, and is quite successful in her own fashion.

    Actually she was the one who inspired me and taught me more about property investing, from her books.

    Hi HappyTrace,

    By using a trust to own your assests, you:

    [:D] “Own nothing and control everything”

    [:D] Protect your assets from possible attact under lawsuit

    [:D] Pay less tax when the assets bring positive income or, when you sell for a capital gain.

    [:D] Avoid the “rent reliance” complaint from the banks and thus retain your ability to continue investing.

    Tracy,

    **PropertyGuRu** on here is an expert on trust, and is the person, i come to ask advice about Trust.

    Also there are a few differnt tyes of Trust.

    Hi Melbear & Team,

    Due to how expensive housing affordability is now, do you think in some rectrospect, that the government, might push or the banks might see fit, to begin and allow servicing 40 years period loans?

    For Example if first home buyers, cant get into the market, maybe perhaps this is another way that can be achieved to help them, get into the market.

    Spreading the Actual repayment over a 40 year period would make weekly, fortnightly and monthly repayments less, even so much less than a 30 year period, that the first home buyer could easily make repayments and many properties that investors would seek, would also become positivily geared.

    Even with this situation the banks will still be making a bigger profit, if people do decide to pay their mortgage loans over a 40 year period.

    What are you views? do you think 40 year loans is all talk or do you think, they will come in place to keep up with the price of housing affordability?

    cheers

    Is that true they offer Loans over 40 years?

    If so, do you think Australia will follow suit?

    Hi Bear1964,

    Here is a link for you, that might be of some benefit,

    http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?s=915bc5631dc0fd154b11071b2af8e320&threadid=13263

    I agree with what you have said and all, and also for myself, i dont like the ways of how Bruce has gone about spoiling and ruining your helpfulness of finding such properties and helping new investors or investors who are tryin to get into the market.

    Maybe we should, find his property and expose it?

    and see how he likes it.
