  • Brian replied to the topic Where to find an investor? in the forum Creative Investing 8 years, 11 months ago

    A bit of a reality check from forum members php

  • 16.5% is pretty hefty for management fees. If you can try and negotiate the management fees it might be worth it but 16.5% of $635 is $104.77. $530/wk rent on a $715k property would be negative geared pretty hard. IMHO I don’t think it would be a good investment unless you are looking for a negative geared property and can afford to put money…[Read more]

  • I think the growth for that area is 6% which isn’t much compared to 15mins away in Liverpool where growth is around 11%

  • I am new to investing as well, I wouldn’t invest in that area for a first investment. If you have that much to spend you could buy 2 properties for around $350k in a lower risk area. There isn’t much around voyager point. The closest shop in walking distance would be over the footbridge to east hills ( where I grew up) that is also the closest…[Read more]

    Yea that would be great. It will be easier to source trades quick when doing renos

    Thanks for the reply DM, I like the central coast and I think they are relatively cheap being on average $350k. What areas were your cc properties, were they umina or elsewhere. What areas are you looking into at the moment.

    Hi Richard,

    Just wondering if you could send me the article please, it sounds like a good read as I am still learning as well.

    From a newbie, thankyou. It saves me googling to see what some of those mean.

  • Brian started the topic Info on central coast property in the forum Help Needed! 9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all,

    I am looking to purchase my first investment property on the central coast of nsw in a few months. I am heading up that way to look at some properties in a few areas of interest next weekend, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend any suburbs that they think would be worth looking at while I’m there. My budget will be around $350k…[Read more]

  • Brian replied to the topic Found an investment property what next? in the forum Help Needed! 9 years, 1 month ago

    What I would like to know is how can someone have $350k to buy a property and still be claiming newstart.
    That to me sounds fraudulent.

  • Brian replied to the topic Cherie Barber Full Home Study Course in the forum Buy, Swap & Sell 9 years, 1 month ago

    How much does the course retail for and how much are you asking for?

  • Brian replied to the topic Buyer's agent in the forum Help Needed! 9 years, 1 month ago

    Although I have not used a buyers agent nor have I purchased my first investment property I think a buyers agent could be an advantage for a person if they are no good at negotiating a better price for the property and for the terms of the purchase. In some cases the buyers agent could negotiate a price that will cover their 10k fee and even more…[Read more]

  • Brian replied to the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 2 months ago

    Haha you will have to come and work down here. That’s a decent size house. I just done a 560m2 single storey last year. That wasn’t too bad. Took us 6 days. Myself and 2 apprentices.

  • Brian replied to the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 2 months ago

    Yea there’s not many stick frames down here in Sydney unless they are high end homes. Once you do prefab you won’t go back to stick, it’s so much quicker and easier. I heard someone say there is 20,000 homes to be built in Sydney.

  • Brian replied to the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 2 months ago

    For that price difference, why wouldn’t you. We put singles up in 1-2 days where as conventional would be double that. If there is alot of work for prefab up your way I would go for it.

    Is there much prefab work up your way. We are flat out here in western Sydney. Heaps of new estates and thousands of houses to build. I just got offered 150…[Read more]

  • Brian replied to the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 2 months ago

    What is the m2 for prefab in qld

  • Brian replied to the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 2 months ago

    I’m in Sydney nsw. We just do pre fab. M2 rate is average $20m2 + gst. The builders licence in can get in anywhere from one day to one week depending how quick I provide the required documents.

  • Brian replied to the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 2 months ago

    Have you completed your builders licence course now. I’m going to get mine through an rpl company. Costs $3500 but I won’t have to sit in a classroom for another 2 years 3 nights a week

  • Brian replied to the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 2 months ago

    Yea Shaun I am a contract carpenter as well. He gets signed off in August so I will just stick it out. He is a good worker but always has a whinge about something to do about money.

  • Brian started the topic Info on apprentice annual leave pay in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 3 months ago

    I have an apprentice who is being a ball breaker. I just paid him his 4 weeks holiday pay plus the 17.5% leave loading, now he is saying that I am supposed to pay him travel allowance in his holiday pay as well. I looked on the fair work website and also sent the link to him as well showing that I don’t pay the travel allowance because that’s what…[Read more]
