    I am interested in understanding for people in these areas are there :

  • weathjess started the topic Self Managed property website in the forum Heads Up! 10 years ago

    Hi,
    Just thought I would pass on a website that I have started using (last couple of months) with great success. Because I live close to my investment property I thought that I would try my hand at self managing so that I can save a few dollars on the realestate fees.

    After a bit of searching I found http://www.shortcuthome.com.au – I have found it…[Read more]

  • I think it is Pullman on the Park

  • Thanks – I hadn’t actually looked at all of their links – but will definitely check that out!!

  • Hi,
    I am considering renting out a property privately and have come across the following website – http://www.shortcuthome.com.au – they seem pretty good and they seem to have a lot of support and tools available – but I am still just a bit uncertain.

    Has anyone used this site or one similar?

    Do you have any feedback on the success?

    Thanks!

  • Hi – I am looking to sell a property and not quite sure where to start. I have spoken to a few agents who have given me slightly different ideas on the value and target market of the property. I am having trouble deciding on which agent to go with. However, I have had advice to list with multiple agents – this was from someone in Qld (and I live…[Read more]

  • weathjess started the topic Need to save my negatively geared property in the forum Creative Investing 11 years ago

    Hi,
    Sadly I have a property that is negatively geared….however, through several big mistakes on my part…..ie. buying in regional victoria, buying using a line of credit for the deposit, letting it run negatively geared for several years so that what I owe on it is more than what it is worth, buying a house that has some reasonable structural…[Read more]

    Hi – do you still have this available?

  • weathjess replied to the topic IP’s and SMSF in the forum Creative Investing 12 years ago

    Hi,
    we are just going through the process of setting up a SMSF. I was interested for the same reasons as you – I am learning all this stuff about investing and therefore frustrated that I can't invest my own money the way I want to.

    One thing to keep in mind is that you can get a bit more creative with your super money rather than just buying a…[Read more]

  • weathjess replied to the topic Loan for deposit? in the forum Finance 13 years ago

    You could look at a Joint Venture with someone that does have the deposit but doesn't have the serviceability on the loan. You could share the profits – so you wouldn't make as much, but at least you would be getting into a property that you couldn't otherwise afford and it reduces your risk.

  • Hi,Looking at it on the internet it appears to be really close to both the hospital and the airport. One method I use is I have a house in regional Victoria that is right next door to the hospital. I rent it out on short term rentals (usually between 2-6months at a time). I pay all of the expenses – electricity etc and they put their staff in it -…[Read more]

  • weathjess replied to the topic Mildura vs Bendigo in the forum General Property 14 years ago

    Hi,I have invested in Horsham and I am really happy with it. It is a growing town with diverse industry around it – both mining and farming. I must admit the drive out there is a pain (4hrs each way). But $200k will go a fair way out there.

  • weathjess replied to the topic POSITIVE GEARED in the forum Creative Investing 14 years ago

    I have a property that I bought earlier in the year in Horsham Victoria. I paid $178k including furniture and I rent it out as a corporate rental as it is right next door to the hospital – $350 a week! There is a fair amount of growth in Horsham so I am confident that there will be some capital growth aswell – but in the mean time I am not out of pocket!

    Hi All,I literally spent all of yesterday reading this topic from start to finish – FASCINATING!!!I am planning a trip to the US in April with the hope of buying a couple of properties myself and a couple through a SMSF. What are people's thoughts on Atlantic City……….prices seem really good, but looking at the future – I see that they are a…[Read more]

  • I always ask for a 5% deposit (money is better in my pocket till settlement). Agents tend to expect 5% these days – lots of people ask for 5%. I have found that they would prefer 5% than a deposit bond – not many agents like deposit bonds as they aren't a guarantee.

  • weathjess replied to the topic selling a tenanted property in the forum General Property 15 years ago

    I find that the quality of the tenents makes a BIG difference. I inspected a property on the weekend – there were heavy metal band posters all over the walls, dirty dishes piled up on the sink, it wreaked of cigarette smoke and there were no beds – just matresses on the floor – not an environment for high sale prices!
