well the last one cost me $700 to sell a block, i told him he was too exy, then he had all these additional costs.  I have seen some cheaper ones around so i might go with one of them instead.

SEQ,I wanted 300, reduced to 270 after no offers for a year, sat for another 7 months, then the agent decides they want it.You may say this is low for the SEQ Average, but it is a fair price in the location and current HL% rate ATM.**Is there a way i can put a clause in the contract that they cant resell the property for a certian amount of time,…[Read more]

maybe, its been on the market for a h3ll of a long time, i am just happy to get rid of it, as the interest only loan was burning me.If i get all of the asking price and he takes no commission i would be happy with that amount.It has to be a good deal for both parties.

what has been everyones experience with these in relation to the managment rights??

i had a great experience with an Aussie Broker, he is in BNE, give aussie a call.  Ended up with the best deal.

jamie jurie filled in a pool on back yard blitz once.  it thought he was an idot for doing it.But it might be even easier and cheaper and add value to fix it.  Cemete cracks should be easily patched, black jacked and then sealed with waterever finish you choose.You havnt mentioned if the pump and colriator are still attached if they are, apart fr…[Read more]

$200 odd for CGU cheaper through a broker than going direct to cgu.  i rang them myself and they were dearer over the phone.

and in that situation you would have to clean it at the end of their stay and even every copule of days if they were there for a month or so??

or you could just leave it where it is, if the neighbours havent complained and said anyhing to council WHO really cares?

simple who and where is your account, i think i need a change.what did he cost?

what about if i buy a place near the end of the fisc year, it brings a loss, can I claim that entire loss off my taxable income for that entire year?

yeah, inspect other peoples, and see how long they sit at that price ask the agent how many applications he has had.

garry,nice work getting 3k a week!, what is the property worth to get those returns?  Did you rent it out 4 holiday style yourself, or can that be done through an agent?  Now that is where the agent would be earning their money every week.

has anyone purchased any retirement village style units of any kind?

Aussie broker recommended RAMS to me, best rate, also Bank west and BO Adeliade very similar deal.Highly reccommend an Aussie broker, they dont Bull Sh1t, straight answers, best deal, chances of approval told in 10 minutes.  Not like my MUM and DAD, been with the same bank for 40 years, blah blah blah,I got a home loan 14 months ago, and if i get…[Read more]

where can i go for resources on renting myself and getting rid of the RealEstate Agent.Can i start up a hostel without any form of a license?I know of this guy who do it. and i think it was all under the table, he was getting good returns for that."Why pay taxes, the governments wastes the money anyway." Packer

I think that Taxable amount will depend on what you earn in your traditional job.if you are getting taxed at 45 cents, then a loss of a few $1000 is not the end of the world.surly you an figure estimates of outgoings and ingoings for a whole year.out~ bc rates insurance realestate maintence accountant fees if neededin~ rent my 100th post!!!

yes, i am not an accountant, but i do know you can.  I asked my accoutant the same thing:Yeah I guess you can claim the new Computer as a deduction if you use it for work related purposes (although you are meant to pro rata for private use…if any).  Claim it over 4 years, 37.5% Diminishing Value or 25% Prime Cost (Straight Line).Hope this helps. 

thanks for monitoring all my posts, but the second post was based on the assumption that i my dud deal goes through.Now i need to think about my next move and next deal.I dont have to wait for settlement to start looking.The fact that i ignored reference to this deal is based on the fact that i wont loose money or make money.

i got my first flat at 19, FHOG, and small deposit of my own, with my Dad on the loan.  First year of uni.  Was the same as rent.refianced 5 years later got my Dad off the loan.  now have 3 at 26, looking to sell one and buy another 2.  Just having some trouble selling ATM.I find it is all the little things that make the difference between a save…[Read more]
