Hi propertyboy,

 I have an option of buying another 2-4% yielding investment IP in melb/syd then being capped on borrowing capacity (income cap hit – got lots of equity)

Back in my earlier days (maybe 20 years ago) a Mortgage Broker of the day told me “If you have enough Equity, income (or DSR) is not a problem.”   At that time I didn’t have Equ…[Read more]

I’m kinda surprised that nobody has needed to reply, to add more info, to disagree, or to have a rant of their own.  No worries though – we are all where we are, with decisions to make, and the goalposts seem to keep on changing.  Good luck with YOUR operation amongst all of the various Govts’ irrationality going on.

Just a week or so back, I he…[Read more]

Hi Dutch,

I can assure you it is the same Ben Poulson.

It is a rather uncommon name, so you might be right… but how can you be so sure of that?

It is a little concerning that you are openly questioning our experiences because they may not be the same as yours.

On many sites a first post like yours might simply be deleted – you arrived…[Read more]

Hi Dutch,

Your post piqued my interest.  First off, I wonder if you refer to the same Ben Poulson as I was.   It might be – I only knew him as a Building and Pest Inspector, but a quick search tells me that someone of that name is also a builder (who also does B&P Inspections).   The man I knew did some B&P inspections for me some years ago.…[Read more]

Hi Wan,

A quick note from me (since I note you are posting here for the first time) is to reread all of this topic – in particular, do take note of my comments in this link (an earlier reply in here) –  https://www.propertyinvesting.com/topic/5068817-home-loan-borrowing-using-trust/#post-5069869

For me, the Chapter 9 from Steve’s book gives a V…[Read more]

Hi Tommy,

Some of our Mortgage Brokers onboard could likely come up with a more complete scenario for you.  I would think you will be able to find a way that works best for you.  Meantime, do have a look at this post :-

Well, moving to Chrome has been a mixed blessing.

First, it FIXED the problem mentioned (where I was being logged out of my Internet Banking within 2 minutes of logging in).  Then I noticed that things seemed to run faster, so that was a plus.   And logging in to IB was a breeze, and a fast one at that.  Firefox had been quite slow in that are…[Read more]

Hi Raj,

I checked this out with our Admin – he tells me he has adjusted the link in the Bonus area to include this – full text below:-

That product is no longer for sale but we made the checklist available from the bonus resources page.

I’ve set up a redirect of that link to the book registration page if he wants to try it again.

So give that a…[Read more]

Hi Dawiid and others,

When I Googled “Rentrepreneur” it defaulted to Entrepreneur.  However it did give the option to “search for Rentrepreneur instead” – and that provided just a few topics in reply.   Seems that title may have been recently coined, so it might mean different things to different people.

However, Google did lead me to one po…[Read more]
