you have reminded me of a tale about a mate of mine. He had been to the local RSL for a few beers on a Sunday night. He deserved it, it was mid January & he had been working hard in the back yard. Needless to say it didn’t take many beers for the leg bones to turn to rubber!

Don’t worry about getting on a bit of a soapbox session about smokers in properties. I smoke & at one stage gave up for a while – went to a mate’s house where he & his mates that lived there (4 in total) all smoked. Holy hell!!! What a stink!

Your credit card limit alters your borrowing power.

You have a disposable income of $500.00 per month.
You also have a credit card that – when maxed out – has a minimum repayment of $100.00 per month.

My rural IP is in the UK, so the situation is slightly different. I paid it off 3 yrs ago and whilst the loan was still running it was still giving me approx. 14%. Its a bit less now as I’m having a fair bit of work done to it (extending house, buying land to make block bigger etc). As I said in another post tonight, the only hassle is…[Read more]

You may not be able to claim the work done but you’ll still be able to bump up the rent a little. If you’re not that way inclined, just start on the easy stuff or rope in a mate to help out (often only costs a couple of beers).
I have a rural IP & other than repeatedly having to ask the tennants to cut the grass (they…[Read more]

Thanks very much for the info. Now I understand!!!

I haven’t got the info with me (I’m on an oil rig in Bass Strait at the moment) but I can go a bit further with the measurements thing – how about poles and perches? They’re the next increments down from a rod. I came across these on maps of family property in the UK (dated 1770s!)

Just to clarify for me – If an IP is CF+ with a percentage higher than you could earn from a bank account or similar-risked other type of investment, aren’t you on a winner?
Granted there are smaller profits & larger ones, but profit is still profit that can be ploughed back in to finding & securing better returning IPs.
I look forward to…[Read more]

http://www.noagentproperty.com.au

If you do a search on this site, (your question has been asked a few times) there will be a bunch more.
I hope this helps a…[Read more]
