Hi Rachel.

First of all, congrats on being a landlord. From the sounds of things you are young.
I went thru the same thing when i first started. you get bombarded with what the agent tells you and you feel like you have to go with them.
It takes a while to build confidence up to talk to these PMs. Just takes a bit of time. I agree with most of…[Read more]

Wow. That was one great workshop. I can feel my brain bursting with infomation, it was certainly an overload for me this weekend.
Had a great time and met fantastic people.

Hi, I have tried all of the above approaches. and none of them worked for me, (i know its my fault) im just not disciplined enough. So i use a lazy man's approach. I look at what i am earning per month and at the start, i put a percentage away or an amount away. The rest i use to pay bills, ( all on time) spend, go out, eat out as much as i want.…[Read more]

Hi, Thank you for your quick reply. Yes i can understand that not everyone is the same, and different pple have different strategies.

Your trust then lends you $70,000 and it takes a second mortgage over your property as security.I am not sure of the taxation implications. The trust should probably charge…[Read more]

Just a quick one on this, When banks look at the rent, do they look at the full rent or, take a % of it? I heard that banks will only take around 70% of rent into consideration of serviceability, Is this correct??
