    Yarpos : Yes ofcourse. Where do you think the expression "USA sneezes and Australia catches a cold" comes from ?Just look at the events of what happened in USA. Then extrapolate to Australia. 18 months difference, everything else is the same. About the rental crisis : There is no rental crisis. People who say that are blind.Soon it…[Read more]

  • "Remember, Australia lags behind UK and USA about 18 months. There's trouble ahead when banks stop lending money to potential buyers."have there been previous crashes that Australia has followed in about 18 months?

    you appear to be saying stay out of residential property unless you get commercial type returns , say 8% +.  Is that a fair summary?

  • yarpos replied to the topic Sorting out an application via Internet in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 5 months ago

    "Will live in the investment property and rent out the current home for $380-400 p/week."If you are living in it , its not usually classed as an investment property (are you planning to rent out parts of it?).   Will probably come out when you clarify the points the other posters have asked for

  • yarpos replied to the topic Property Valuations in the forum General Property 16 years, 5 months ago

    because they all have different internal policies and risk management approaches I guess.I am just guessing but I expect there is no set period for a valuations validity.  It would just depend on how dynamic the market has been (or percieved to have been) between the valuation date and the time a review is needed.just thing about this and I have n…[Read more]

  • yarpos replied to the topic Rent setting strategies in the forum General Property 16 years, 5 months ago

    does that approach cause many to leave or is it normally accepted?

  • yarpos replied to the topic URGENT help needed re: rent increase in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 5 months ago

    seems hefty but keep in mind that you have had the same rent for 12 months,  and if you sign up you will have that rent for another 12 months.  What the landlord sees is 24 months with one chance to review rent.  You need to average the rent increase over 24 months and look around at the market to see if thats reasonable.There are costs on the la…[Read more]

  • yarpos replied to the topic Claiming depreciation in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 5 months ago

    part of this depends on the situation,  are you renovating prior to first rental?   in between leases? ATO has some downloadable PDF files which discuss this and provide tables to guide you on what categories of items are depreciated or claimed over what periodquote from ATO site" There are two categories of rental property expenses you can cla…[Read more]

    I'm sick of hearing with the increasing population and housing shortage, it means property prices will rise.OK, let's say interest rates rise to 15% and oil goes to $200, so that existing properties become completely unaffordable.

  • yarpos replied to the topic Is frankston area good to invest in?? in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 5 months ago

    I dont think I would buy in Frankston again (unless we stumble on a great deal) as we already have a place there and as I said I think it will quiet down again now.  I am happy to hold the place we have there.    If you use the search  in these forums you will find plenty of debate on the Melbourne east vs west topic,  not all rational and usua…[Read more]

    Frankston has been a good area for us ….but….I think it may had its burst of growth now and settle back into something like the outer burbs norm.   We have been there for a couple of years now and have enjoyed good rental growth and theoretical capital growth  (I only beleive that when the contracts are exchanged and the money is in the ba…[Read more]

  • yarpos replied to the topic Reno cost estimates? in the forum Value Adding 16 years, 5 months ago

    only thing that stand out to me is the allowance for tiles,  they are actually relatively cheap unless you are going for something exotic.   $1000 for carpet (laid) in a 2br apartment sounds low but dont know how much you are re-doing or if you have trade connections.   The rest seems reasonable for a budget to me.   If you tell people where…[Read more]

  • yarpos replied to the topic Claiming Depreciation in the forum Finance 16 years, 5 months ago

    A quantity surveyor estimates the construction cost of your property and prepares a schedule (which is acceptable evidence to the ATO) to substantiate a depreciation claim which is a percentage of the overall  property over a 40 year life,  not just fixtures and fittings.   If the place is new and you have the construction costs then this is a si…[Read more]
