    martinw,

    I have just purchased 4 very cashflow positive properties this month and 2 last month.

    There is lots of money to be made, even in this market, all you have to do is get off your bottom and find them.

    5 out of the 6 were under $60,000.

    I think I have just blown your theory to bits, that positive cashflow properties aren’t out there.

    George,

    No – I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU.

    Maybe you can come and work for me someday!

    EACH TO THEIR OWN.[8D]

    Turnup,

    Sorry to be a wet blanket, but do you think that you are being realistic in your requirements?

    “Close to a beach” etc. For under $70,000 in NSW on the coast, I wouldn’t be too hopeful!!

    Have you considered being wrapped?

    Hi Muppet, Westan & Diamond,

    Missed you all by a few days. Arrived home Tuesday 22nd.

    We will have to catch up next time!

    Great countryside. It’s a pity all the good deals are gone (he he).[;)]

    Hi Betty,

    As Mortgage Hunter said, it is quite easy.

    You shouldn’t have to provide figures for the company. Simply your own taxation returns. As he said, you will have to guarantee the loan.

    By the way, we nearly missed out on 2 good properties, because we bought in a Trust name, and our Trust Deed wasn’t ready. Be careful.

    Talk to you soon,

    Del [:)]

    Hi lifestyle,

    I totally agree with Stu (Geurilla).

    We have 2 girls aged almost 5 and almost 6. They love our property business. We have named our Trust “Saraclo”, after their names Sarah & Chloe. They now think that they own blocks of units and houses.[;)]

    The girls always point out older types of houses that have “for sale” signs on them, and say “mummy here’s one!! I love their input, and even though they DO still get tired of looking through house after house, they understand why we are doing it. They are learning lots about what and why we’re doing this, and I’m sure that they will have their heads screwed on the right way, when it comes to money, in a few years.

    They are getting the best education from us, and understanding that it is good to save money.

    Regards,

    Del

    Hi Brett,

    Vendor finance as an investment strategy can be a really worthwhile tool, to improve cashflow, and refund some of your money in the deal to enable you to have cash to buy again.

    However, you mentioned structural problems with the house. I would be careful that you are not setting yourself up for a lawsuit if something goes wrong. You would have a duty of care over the property, although you would still have that duty of care as a landlord anyway. Safety is important!

    Goodluck with your decision. Make sure you do your due diligence over the tenant, before taking them on as a longterm wrap client.

    Hi Scremin,

    Because when you use a LOC, you are using 80% stand alone loan, 20% deposit from LOC, and 5% s/duty & costs from LOC. 105% finance.

    If you pay out your PPOR, get rid of your LOC all that debit interest that you pay every month on your LOC, suddenly goes directly to YOU !!

    The difference in the figures is amazing!

    Also, with our PPOR, we would only be able to access 80% for a LOC, which is leaving too much money lying around not working for us!

    If you flick through the past posts, a few days ago there was an interesting post called “Sell home, rent & Invest”.

    Hi Steph & Leigh,

    All our loans so far have been P&I. If we wrap the loan will DEFINATELY be P&I. Things have changed recently now that we’re selling our home, and getting rid of our LOC etc (reducing our “bad” debt).

    We have talked about having 3 x P&I loans, to 1 x IO loan, and keeping the majority reducing our overall debt, but with one with good prospect for capital gain at Interest only. 3:1 ratio sounds OK to us at the moment, but no doubt we will reassess things in 12 months or so.

    Our main reasoning for P&I is if something happens to one of us, we don’t want the other left with hundreds of thousands of debt!!

    What are your thoughts?

    Have a great week all,[:)]

    Crashy,

    Negative gearing has its place.

    It is great for higher taxed people especially self employed.

    Why just give that extra tax to the Govt??

    I’d rather pay off a house that will gain in value, than giving XXX thousand to Little Johny. He gets enough.

    Oh, I don’t have any negative geared ppty. Only positive. I’ve been tempted because of the tax issues, however, it will restrict my positive cashflow purchases. That to me is the worst thing about negative geared ppty. The banks stop lending to you.

    Just an amateur’s opinion.[:I]

    Hi aaron,

    I’d say business and family don’t mix.

    How could you ever evict them if things go south?

    It would be very tempting, but could you put up with the family rift that it may cause?????[xx(]

    Just my opinion,

    Hi Jonathan,

    My reply probably would have sounded more interesting with a glass of red, but, I’d say nobody will ever be rich with just one or two cashflow +ve ppty’s.

    This is where you have the ability to use your money and possibly buy lots of +ve ppty.

    I would never own investment ppty outright. You will pay too much tax. There are more fun things to spend your money on.

    Good luck,

    Hi ianbiller,

    One way you could do this is to do a “FLIP”.

    This is where you buy a ppty, undervalued in the current market, which is likely to be in demand.

    You sign your contract at say – $200,000 with 120 day settlement. Settlement day 11.01.04

    then,

    You onsell it again in a month or so, for it’s true value of say $265,000 with a settlement date of 11.01.04.

    Just beware, this can be risky, and you have to pay stampduty on the sale I believe.

    Hope this makes sense to you.

    PS…..This may not be the way the person on Today Tonight did it, it’s just one of many.

    Bye,

    Hi AD,

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    It does look like a small revolution.

    Perhaps we could blame the “Today Tonight” show!![:D]

    Good nite all,

    Andy,

    It’s great that we are not the only ones silly enough to do such a thing!!

    Only joking – I wish you success.[;)]
    Actually – I wish us both success. [;)]

    Westan,

    Hi and thankyou. Yes I definately agree with what you said about deals being harder to find. It would be awful if you sold the home you love to do “investing”, only to find that the “deals” are few and far between.

    It would make your decision seem like such a waste.[B)]

    It IS hard to find deals, but if you really are “out there” and ringing agents on a regular basis, you should still find them. You will probably have to expect to look further afield than what you would like to.

    If you don’t mind where your IP is, and I mean interstate etc, then I would say “JUST DO IT – SELL, SELL, SELL, sounds like it will be worthwhile for you.

    Best of luck,

    Del
