    as for land tax, u can have multiple trusts and just put ur properties accordingly so that it doesn’t goes above the value that land tax would then applies. It’s calculated by the cumulative value of the Ips i believe.

    hi logues,

    it depends on what that member likes to do.. if i have a family member that has that sum of inheritance, i would sorta coerced him/her into investing.. I could propose a JV if she doesn’t has the time or knows the ways to go about doing investing or is just too old to bother with it. A Good Money Partner and if that interest her in the long run, u have more than just a money partner, but a thinking partner too.. that would be great :P

    well that’s what i’ll do :P

    Good LUck

    errr.. just clarifying,

    is it level 3 or level 1 ? the original post states Level 3 ?

    Also, it’s unfortunate steve is unable to make it, so is there another mobile we could contact since Steve won’t be around tomorrow?

    Thanks,

    oh sorry, when exactly in the above situation does my 12 months of purchase start? from the purchase of land or construction date or completion date?

    Just a question further on the FHOG.

    I’ve bought a vancant land but it’s vacant as it is. Let’s say if end of next year i start building, as in having the plan n all drawn up and the builder commencing work and the house finished in let’s say mid 2005. Provided the FHOG is still on then, can i claim the 7000? could i claim any extra for a vacant land as well or is it just 7000 for both the house n land?

    when does one apply for the grant? upon the completion of the house and when u move in? or during construction? I notice that u have to show 3 months so i presume u would have to have settled into that house before claiming?

    hi Nu Gen,

    well i’m a newbie too.. currently after learning a huge curve from the purchase of a vacant land JV with dad, i am excited to get an IP too.. but i have to wait :

    1. to see how the market is going
    2. to get my residency status end of next year to start buying IP, hence not needing to satisfy FIRB anymore
    3. Get that degree so that i can start working to satisfy the bank :P and earn income

    So in the meantime i’m just learning more and laying out plans to retire by age 30. 22 now :P so that’s my 8 yrs plan. I’m taking in all the information so that i know what to do when i actually start sprinting in 2005.

    It’s a Must, not a choice :P that’s definite.

    Regards,
    Kev

    hey cornel,

    i believe looking at some other mortage agents and other banks would really help. Not all banks deal with their clients the same way. I was in such situation 2 months back, and given my non-residency status and not an income earner ( JV with dad who works overseas ) we had some difficulty satisfying the bank due to the FIRB restriction that was passed down on us. Big Banks like ANZ, NaB, CBa and others view ours a bit as being a bit edgy, as the clause that we can’t sell the land without first building on it, scares them miles away from us.

    anyway, persistence does pays off as i track other mortage agents, and some from the forum too.. and finally i manage to get 2 banks that would approve. One requires a power of attorney, another willingly without any conditions or restriction, and just 2 days ago, i found out that this bank, BankWest doesn’t charge any monthly ongoing fees as well, not to mention the lower interest rate in comparison to the other banks that i’ve tried initially. Customer Service was good as well. So i’m a happy boi :)

    So Cornel, just don’t give up, i’m sure there are banks that will accept you. You’re a resident and you earn in AUD in Australia. I was in a worst position and if i can pull if off, i’m sure you could too :)

    Good LUck All the best,

    Cheers,

    michael R,

    So does that means if the investment properties are valued below those numbers, u don’t need consent from the government?

    i’ve just writen a mail to the treasury, will hope to get a reply and i’ll post it up here.

    Mimi, it’s a bummer that i can’t get the lawyer details anymore, but anyway, i’m sure there are others too :)

    seems like everyones’ in NZ at the moment. i’m still trying to learn more about Aus at the moment, would love to try NZ, but perhaps at a later phase, but if there’s no restriction imposed from the NZ government on non-resident purchasing properties there, i might go have a look there as i can’t actually do much here for the next 2 yrs as i’m a non-australian resident and i have to graduate before i could apply for my PR. which is a bummer.. here u are with all the motivation and wanting to do something but u can’t because of circumstances and citizenship.

    Would be excited to see what the NZ treasury has to say about that. I might just be able to do something after all.

    Dear KenShin,

    Geez. it’s so strange, u know what, my youngest brother’s Ken Shin too.. and for a glance, i thought u were him until i read ur post, definitely not him after that LOL, thougt i would love to have a brother who’s interested in property to share experiences with :P he’s 16 this year.. maybe i should influnce him a bit :P lol

    Anyway, i think Bill is right to mention looking at the property market in the next few months and see how it’s going. however depending on where u plan to buy, gains may differs too, so it’s not a strict one for all rule.

    Have u tried other banks to see if they would lend more? my experience with banks is u have to be patience and look for the best deal and one of them is sure to meet ur requirements and more than happy to have u as their client. Bill, not sure if i’ve mentioned to you but i’ve manage to get the loan from Bankwest and there is no monthly account fees too, compared to ANZ of 8 bucks/month. And the interest’s marginally lower to, it’s at 6.20 at the moment, about 0.05 lower than ANZ :P I’m a happy boi. I’m on variable as i think i would love the flexibility to pay it off in lum sum perhaps in a year or two.

    Cheers,

    Kev
