    I agree with Bardon,

    and further to that post, It wasn't  mentioned about the Depreciation you would get on the new house (maybe it was included in the "$110 per week to hold with negative gearing").

    .

    yes LA depreciation was already in the projection,.
     
    Paul if you let me know what kind of house (cost) likely rent and yor marginal rate I can work out your weekly holding costs for you PM me if you want.

    Look on the bright side if there was a bust and I dont think there will be then good opportunity to buy, my cousin is madly buying in Florida right now.

    I'm with Dreaming Brisbane has all the fundamentals although a bit of rain would help.

    Have a look at what my cousin sends me he beleives that Florida right now is a once in a lifetime opportunity and cant understand why I dont come out and get some, so yes we see some bad press about the US but some see it as tremendous opportunity

    Buyers Market + Favorable Financing = Money In The Bank!

    Real Estate Prices are Down! (Good for Investors, YOU!) The interest rates have dropped for investor financing. The terms are good.

    FLORIDA real estate prices have dropped as much as 46% in some markets. Sellers are starting to realize the value is what an able buyer is willing to pay. The value is not what they want and not what they paid. The value is set by what you want to pay. Investors are whiting 5, 10 or more offers each looking for the sellers who are motivated. We are here to help. Understand the MOST MOTIVATED SELLERS have FOR SALE SIGNS in the yard. The unmotivated sellers don’t have signs. WE specialize is liquidating discounted property for Builders, Banks and Motivated Sellers. We have the deals!

    This advice is worth as much as you paid for it, but if you can get the finance and can hold for 6 months with no rent then I would take a 10 year postion on it and put a house on the block rent it out and keep it for ever or at least through another  cycle.

    4 bedroom, 2 bathroom double lock up single storey brick and tile allow $1000 per m2 turnkey including landcsaping although you can get cheaper.  Have a look at his website for cheap builds I wished i had before I signed up my builder

    http://www.coralhomes.com.au/design-prices/downloads/BRISBANE.pdf

    Noted that these are all esatern states prices

    to do the same in Brisbane at about the same land value and assuming that you are on the top tax rate and getting $350 pw rent it will cost you $110 per week to hold with negative gearing.  If you sell you are back to square one again its the land that increases in value not the house.

    I know Perth quite well and have worked with Water Corp, Woodside and Clough and my current  company has just bought a tunneling company in Perth I also know that house prices are coming back a bit but I also know that they are predicting rapid population growth in Perth and rental demand will remain high.  Dont worry if it all turns to custard there will be a few people jumping off the narrows bridge before you.

    Micha, I looked pretty close at this loan but decided against it.  I dont have anything against it either but just wasn't for me. Its 8.4% base rate and fairly high establishment costs and penalties to refinance.  They also only lend in certain postcodes. One thing that they say is that the interest on interest is deductable but its not.  I decided to use my LOC if I wanted to defer paying off interest also have a look  here at what Margret Lomas has to say about it

    You find a lender that is offay with this set kind of finance,set up the trust, find the hosue, get a loan to buy units in the trust, the trust aquires the property and the trust offers the property up as security all at the same time.

    Joseph,

    I had a Hybrid Trust set up and was about to settle two properties into it when I discovered that there was a high risk that the interest on the loan may not be deductible.  Some advisers still say it is okay but  I decided not to use it after searching the ATO private rulings which clearly didn't allow deductions.  With respect to UT's the ATO told me that they will allow interest to be deductable to me provided the loan is in my name and I have the units in the trust.   I was pretty disappointed with my accountant setting up a hybrid trust with this risk and and they are still saying that others are doing it now.  The clearest advise I got was directly from the ATO you should call them and ask your question as they are quite happy to answer you directly.  They also said that I could apply for a personal ruling on a Hybrid Trust if I wanted to but I decided against it in the end.  Someone else told me that you can buy a trust that has a generic ruling but the ATO said that the ruling must be specific to you.

    From looking at many properties over the years, the reason for a personal inspection is not to check out what you know, but to find out what is NOT shown in photos or pictures. 

    I was going to contract on a property in US that had nice "curb appeal" and looked good on the listing on the web but when I got it checked out it actually didn't have any back to it no joke.

    Property prices on the move in George Town Tasmania and going fast – loads of investors there buying up like crazy ahead of the new Gunns Pulp Mill announcement due out in the next couple of weeks. Even without the Mill, new Seaport Marina hotting up prices as well. With Mill, rentals said to double (although I'm not so sure about doubling) but at a minimum should increase by at least 30% – 40%. Worth a look!

    I remember George Town reminds me of my home country of Scotland all those green hills and water views hope it all works well for you down there I think there is going to be some kind of gas plant built there as well.

    In the process of refinancing and my PPR was revalued by bank 20% higher than 6 months ago purchase price in Bulimba, Brisbane.

    yes it is avearge growth per year and it does compound,

    four years ago I got this list and it was saying buy in Emerald, Mt Isa, Moranabah, Townsville, Cairns, Mackay etc and I didn't and look what happened up there.

    Interestingly enough they are now not showing any of those ares or other regional areas or northern queensland most of the suburbs are in seq although Curra is on the list.

    I guess if you alredy own places on the list it wont make any difference but it is a good guide if you are buying I am using it for my buying locations and am under contract in Ningi which is a 14 and 13 %.

    If you need any other info PM me, I'm off to the park with my young sons now for a bit of footy… the good things in life.. enough stats…………………

    I cant send it around and wont post it in its entirety as the original authors sell it.  If you let me know the suburbs by number I can tell you the forecasted growth for next 5 and 8 years.

    yes they are ranked in order of growth with 1 being the highest which is 14% per year for next eight years  and it falls away from there, not from rpd data

    the song goes

    dont worry

    be happy

    Many victorius generals when interviewed after WW2 about what was going through there minds and what they were going to do if they had been defeated during their respective campaigns said that they never "counselled thoughts of defeat and only focused on victory".
