We can certainly help out with property management.

We can also help out with setting up lease options for people who want to convert properties into positive cash flow investments. Because of the lower prices, these work extremely well in the Northern Suburbs.

Rick Otton is where I began!

Now we offer the service to set up lease options for South Australian investors and manage them through to exercising of the option and purchasing the property.

Finding someone who will do everything for you may be an alternative to spending alot of time and effort learning how to do it yourself.

The way we have done it, option considerations (if applied to the purchase price at the end) are TAX DEFERED!!!

That means that they are taxed as capital gains if the option is exercised or as income if the option is not exercised and the consideration is non-refundable.

I agree with Kim, an investor group is a better alternative to one on one mentoring because it gives you the benefit of multi-skilled individuals that you can source information from.

Also I often find it helpful to give someone in the group a quick phone call regarding a particular issue if I need some extra information rather than having…[Read more]

if your negotiation skills are limited to battering eye lids you’re in big trouble.

In property investing and business, women (and men) need to depend on more than just the way they look to be successfull.

What happens if you are negotiating with another woman or with a man that is just not interested!

My interpretation of Napolean Hill was…[Read more]

I would certainly keep rents within market values, not below!

sounds like the same agent that is managing my property in Invercargill!

The responsibility of agents in Invercargill seems to be much worse than here, but either way, they cant sell your property unless you sign the purchase agreement

Yep that’s me!

No employees (yet!), and no job!

I have just started a business but have had a passive income from investments since 19. My main income is not from my business but from rents and developments! (and loving it!)

The only “real job” I ever had was overseas, prior to that I was paid a tax free scholarship to undertake PhD studies…[Read more]

I don’t have a super fund and don’t know much about them so my question may be a bit naive but I don’t understand what their purpose is????

why have one?

Dosen’t it make more sense to fund your retirement with properties purchased in a trust?

Dosen’t it make more sense to be able to LEVERAGE off your investment properties and grow your…[Read more]

Hi Ozi,

Here’s what I have done in the past.

Give it to a solicitor and instruct them to search trademarks, they will tell you what you can and can’t do. Their advice will far outweigh any advice you get here on this forum as it will be directly related to the phrase/logo you want to TM!!

Just curious, why register a business name and not a Pty…[Read more]

This is a case that ASIC will like to know about, have you contacted them?

Hi Matt,

I agree, it dosent make sense to sell one just to buy another. Is there are reason why you would want to do this?

I live in SA, feel free to contact me!

Knew it had to come at some stage. They just need to keep publishing so they pitch it from every angle.

I don’t believe that investing is gender-specific and I agree with Simon, it is a bit condesending. The fact that some women need someone of a similar sex to hold their hand means that in their mind they believe that they are not as good at…[Read more]

The intention is to use the company name as a business trading name, that’s why it was important to find one that works well!

I like the name DrX..not so sure i like the acronym though..

That one is easy to change Red, it is not registered legally

Can you suggest a better one?

I suspect that acronyms/logos etc will develop as the company grows!

We have a name!

We have decided to go with
AdProp Pty Ltd
Advanced Property Solutions.

It was not an easy descision, the name had to be short and be able to fit in with our marketing. Also one of our criteria was that it could not be used either as a Pty Ltd company or as a business trading name anywhere in Australia. This offcourse meant that…[Read more]

I also could not believe some of these comments. People like Dale GG and Michael Yardney are offering an alternative to thinking inside a box.

Like Dale said, not all situations apply to all people, it’s about time we stoped taking advice as gospel and start taking some RESPONSIBILITY for our actions.

If Dales advice does not suit your specific…[Read more]

They would offer you a quick settlement in exchange for a discounted purchase price. We can offer the same if you are in SA!!!

Is the tenant qualified in all other ways other than what they look like?

You have to be very careful of descrimination laws!!!
