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 – do you still have this available?

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]

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.

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]

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.

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!

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.

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!
