At $90/wl with a Value of $40,000 it is returning you 11.25%

At 60/wk around 8% what does it cost in Body Corporate fees, insurances and rates per year?

Does it owe you any money? If not & you have no need to divest your asset then why go down that road?

$90/wk when it owes you nothing is a bonus. That could be used to purchase another I.P.…[Read more]

My Apologies Terry, I missed that one in the Product Updates.

It is fantastic how rapidly they are changing their Products now though. Although it can be a problem getting an approval through them in a reasonable time frame…

SamJames,
Unfortunately Property Managers come in Great!, O.K. and Too-Awful-To-Describe-On_This-Forum…

I would also suggest you get what you pay for. I am always sceptical about the Fees they charge and don’t mind letting them know I expect Prompt Efficient Service. Some Landlords don’t care. As a result some Property Managers feel ALL of…[Read more]

O.K. are the different tiles noted in the contract, but not in the pricing on the contract? If this is the case they have no option but to give you those tiles at the standard charge. Basically the contract should be a fixed price contract and they can only change it as per your variations AFTER commencement. If you entered into the contract at…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure this line answers your question I have highlighted the Vital word for you!

Ps: No site allowance? No soil tests? Where is it? What is the wind rating? No rendering or bagging? No external painting?

I personally would be thinking with that you could use the standard Coorparoo motto which seems to be 3-storey walk up 12 packs?

The land content is there and you have the option of even utilising the block to generate perhaps a more upmarket style with some having city views (from the spas on their private balconies of course)?

Turtle I’d like to catch up with you for coffee (and I’ll even buy as I know how tight you agents are! :p )

Please contact me to arrange a suitable time.

Thanks.

I’m Stunned. That’s all I have to say. The loss of CoastyMike is a true loss to this forum. I have read many of his posts in awe at his simple manner of explanation and truly aspire to write like him. Unfortunately I am unable to yet, but with practice…

What are the outlays? management fees, body corporate etc? Insurances? Rates?

I would suggest against it personally but it may be the right thing for you. It is hard to know without knowing your personal position…

This theory works on the principle that yes your buy in costs are doubled, but so is your Capital Growth as you have Three yes three Properties where before you only had one. It is also handy when you have an underperforming assett…

Try Kennard’s or Coates Hire Perhaps even the hire Section of your local Bunnings – They should have one about the size of a Floor Polisher which will do the trick in no time for you.

Once you have done the floor self levelling concrete on top will fix any remaining probs. You could probably even cheat and get away with that without removing…[Read more]

I agree Amanda, I once heard a saying I can’t remember who it was who said it though but here it is:

Oh well I guess the scooter will have to suffice for a touch longer…

Like anything Activity = Results. But in saying this you need to be prepared to ut in the time and come up with nothing. Then some days you will have 50 people call you and You will be exhausted.

Success for me is to be truly happy in life. Now in order for that to happen I’ll need to retire at age 40 with a passive income of $2m per year. increasing with CPI naturally.
