Hi Jo

i think you may have misunderstoood the purpose of these documents. they list regional areas and low population areas of the metro areas. It doesn’t list low growth regional areas as i think you were thinking.

to prove my point some of these postcodes are of the fastest growing areas in Victoria are in that list eg
Echuca 3564

Hi all

CD gee you have been very active since we last spoke, i’ve actually bought 21 forgot one.

what i really wanted to say was to ask Yorker why he says
NZ offers better cashflow, however at present QLD provides better capital growth.
I thought that the capital growth in QLD was at about the end of this cycle also for much of the same reasons…[Read more]

Well

Marc is it wrong to be happy when we see justice handed out ? I don’t think that it is, if the man was repentant then i might change my attitude.

Hi slodki

i always provide the phone numbers of local property managers so that our buyers as part of their own checks can confirm for themselves the rental income we suggest. I actually encourage people to phone the property managers, as the last thing i want is people comming back to us saying you said $150pw and no we we are only getting…[Read more]

Hi Geo

it should be standard in trust documents to mention donations to charities etc, it doesn’t need to specifically mention the charity.

Hi all

well its now day ^ and Australia have slowed down the medal tally but hey we are still in $th position after the Japanese have done really well. The US and Chinese as expected have pushed ahead on the medal tally. We might stuggle to hold 4th position by the end of the games. But remember after the 8 in Munich, in Montreal 1976 we won no…[Read more]

Hi Gatsby

If he was permanently banned from providing financial services for being ‘an amputee’, I wonder if society would be up in arms?

shouldn’t that be up in Arm ? [blush2] sorry could help myself.

Must admitt i have trouble feeling much sympathy for Mr Rivkin. Pity he didn’t come clean and avoid all the stress it caused him.

Hi all

slodski, the advantage of NZ is you can buy properties still for under 40k , but the problem will be at least 20% deposit.

When my son bought his first property in Ararat a few years ago he couldn’t get a loan as he had just started a new job. So i leant him the money (actually it was my mother come to think of it), and he did some work…[Read more]

hi terry

thanks for that

the difference is that donations to a church are not tax deductable under normal circumstances (unless its a building fund or something like that). However a distribution from the trust means you can support a church with pre tax dollars.

Hi Stariah

there are many people on this forum who are financially free, thanks to property investing, but that doesn’t mean they know more than others on this forum. For some of them it has been time in the market that has helped and others have fluked it.

Thats a very Generous offer Gatsby and Stariah should make the most of it.

But Stariah…[Read more]

Hi all

Slodki, i think the others operate the way we do, (i don’t know i’m not on there database, maybe i should?), anyway back to the question.

as george said you join our database and then recieve emails when properties become available, or you can specifically request an property in an area and we find one for you that way.

Basically you are…[Read more]

Hi all

Just in case there is any doubt by people, CD and Terry are 100% right , the trust will be penalised financially by paying tax at the highest rate if it doesn’t distribute the profits at the end of each financial year.

Remember that unearned income to children will be taxed at 66% if the money is more that the threshold, so sometime its…[Read more]

Hi Erin

as far as expected capital growth, if you had asked me 3 months ago i would have said continued slow growth. However somethings have changed recently.
Firstly the RBNZ has continued to life interest rates even though it was already the highest in the developed world. Personally i think the rates will end up coming back in the next 12…[Read more]

Hi Erin

just a response about the property that you posted, you need to be careful with towns like Murupara, its only a small place of about 2,000 people and considered very romote by NZ standards. I notice on the ad it says Rotorua, well rotorua is about 70km away. The town has large unemployment 31% compared to the NZ average of 46%. But if…[Read more]

Oh come on kay

you can do better than that, how about something like
No don’t buy there the river is dieing up and there will be a lack of water to sustain any population in the future. Or what about global warming will make the area a desert. Come on something for a bit of discussion.[biggrin]
