As far as I am aware, in NSW it doesn't guarantee you the property, the agent/vendor can't keep the money, and there is no componsation for you if they do decide to sell it to another party.So, What is the point of the Holding Deposit? Do any of you serious NSW investors use a…[Read more]

I will just clarify that the main room downstairs is full height, but the laundry has the low ceiling (it makes you feel like your in Alice in Wonderland [blink]). But the laundry has a properly laid concrete floor and the main room has a dodgy concrete floor…

Do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on the computer?

I am no expert on this matter, but I thought cross-Collateralizing like that was generally not an advised structure as it complicates things. My understanding of that structure is if you lose one place you can lose them all.

Don’t want to rain on the idea it is a creative one. I am concerned though what happens if the system falls over or is hacked into. Wireless whilst very useful ( I have it on my laptop) can be a hazard to the ill-informed. Not sure how much you know about it.

I’m 27and in sydney (sounds like a singles ad [blink]) and would love to attend this sort of meeting.

I would have to agree with Dr.X and THEWIZARD here and say that although its a good idea to spend time with ppl of the same age, the benifit of experience would be a greater incentive for me to turn up.

I have read Steves 0 t0 130 properties. I use the advise he gives to evaluate a +cashflow property.
