    Can anyone tell me what the interest rates are on these green loans?  Are they subsidised based on a mortgage interest rate or a personal loan interest rate?Thanks

    Thanks again Richard,Could I ask you, in your opinion, are there too many grey areas in purchasing a block of units using some form of vendor finance?  Have you bought in the past with your own capital and bank loans?

  • timwr replied to the topic Vendor Finance Renovation Project in the forum Creative Investing 15 years, 7 months ago

    Thanks Richard, can you elaborate on that a bit?  Based on a 1 bed unit, current value approx $135,000, renovate (and strata) for up  to $35k and sell for up to $240,000.

  • timwr replied to the topic Vendor Finance Renovation Project in the forum Creative Investing 15 years, 7 months ago

    Thanks Linar,Paying ongoing rent while renovating the units would be part of the offer so the vendor is not out of pocket from the delayed settlement.  The upfront and holding costs make the deal too costly.Richard, if the units were sold individually would they be subject to a GST component?

  • timwr replied to the topic Vendor Finance Renovation Project in the forum Creative Investing 15 years, 7 months ago

    Fair points, thanks for the insights. Has any one else done something like this before or am I flogging a dead horse?

    Hi Nigel,

    Well done on making the move. Let us know when you setup your property management arm of the business. I’ve been struggling with my current manager, communication doesn’t seem to be his strong point!

    Good luck

    Thanks Richard,

    Luke says that witholding tax is not payable with a W8 form but if a W8 form states I’m a non-US citizen then doesn’t this mean that witholding tax is payable as part of the tax treaty between Oz and the US?

  • timwr replied to the topic US Ownership and tax in the forum Overseas Deals 18 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks guys, your info is invaluable.

    I have been advised that my LLC would be taxed at the rate of 15% which CANNOT be used as a tax credit when bringing the money back to Oz. I can otherwise elect to pay the flat rate of 30% witholding tax instead which would be a tax credit and then bring the money back and pay tax at the rate of Marginal…[Read more]

    Ok grossrealisation, thanks for all your comments. I can see from your user picture and comments what sort of individual you are. You’re a customer I can do without and I’ll leave it up to others to make their own minds. Just stick with your misery and good luck fighting the world.

  • timwr replied to the topic US property – Depreciation in the forum Overseas Deals 18 years, 4 months ago

    Hi Ozi,

    Thanks for the comments, I have spoken to a couple of fellow investors who’ve bought in the same area but I still haven’t been able to get a clear answer on depreciation. I made the purchase because the initial cash returns are excellent and so depreciation will really just be a bonus.

  • timwr replied to the topic Investing in Bulgaria in the forum Overseas Deals 18 years, 4 months ago

    Well grossrealisation, aren’t you a real superstar. I have no relationship at all with the forum member who asked the initial question so your accusation of dodgy marketing has no foundation. If anything, my post can be seen as a simple piece of advertising however the moderator is always at liberty to remove it.

    Bulgaria has a lot going for it at the moment such as low property prices, booming tourism and the country is expected to join the EU in 2007. I’ve put together a kit for overseas buyers, you can see it at http://www.spam.co.uk

    Good luck,

    On the topic of San Antonio, can anyone advise me on obtaining landlord insurance for a duplex I’ve just purchased there? I can’t find any information from a google search.

    Can anyone recommend a broker or insurance company I could contact? Also, any additional information on landlord insurance in the USA would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

  • timwr replied to the topic I’m looking to invest in property in Bulgaria in the forum No Subject 18 years, 8 months ago

    There are a few English real estate companies setup to sell Bulgarian property and so the language should not be an issue. I’ve pruchased over there and I’m very happy with the investments. Prices are low, the Brits are flocking there in record numbers for holidays as it’s a lot cheaper than France and Spain and the country is really shaping up…[Read more]

  • timwr replied to the topic EU Enlargement in the forum Overseas Deals 18 years, 8 months ago

    I’ve been investing n Bulgaria. Low property prices, 30%+ growth p.a over the last 3 years and the country is expected to join the EU in 2007. Due diligence is necessary though as there is always the possibility of oversupply, especially in the tourist areas with new developments coming to completion and many new landlords looking for…[Read more]
