Pretty scary isnt it… supposedly the images are no more than 3-4 years old, but I guess this depends on the area, my parents suburb still shows their house as one of the first in a new estate, and now the area is fully developed so the images are at least 3 years old in that area.

If this is available to the public now, who knows what the…[Read more]

Keep the perth properties, you may regret it if you sell them! Dont believe everything you read, both the CF camp and the Cap Gains camp have good points that will help you with your decision, as long as it fits in with your long term goals go for whatever you feel comfortable with!

I rent, and own properties. I prefer to use as much of my cash as possible for investing so I can fast track my investing and buy more property. Even better, I share with other people and actually pay no rent at all…

Depends on your personal situation, I am looking long term, and never thought of renting, but it has proven to have helped me…[Read more]

$150 is a fair price for a plumber- especially on a public holiday, I doubt he made ‘a killing’ [tongue2]

Oh and you did well to get 16 years out of your old HWS too! [grad]

It took me 10 minutes to remember the name of them, give Mark Harris a call from Accounting West in Bunbury. I used them when I lived in WA. Tell him Luke told you to call, Mark is one of the partners and knows his stuff.

Its not quite Busselton, but hey worth the phone call to see if he can help I guess…

I prefer to use a mortgage broker…

I use Terry W (on these forums) and he is the only one I have dealt with who knows his stuff. Guess it depends on what ‘type’ of investment properties you are looking to finance.

Have a chat with him if you like… no I dont get paid any sort of commissions… -but now you mention it…

Hi

Its always a good time to buy, and always a good time to hold.

Selling may require some good timing, but will ultimately depend on where the property is located and what the ‘local’ market is doing at the time…

As for Perth, I wouldnt expect a slow down any time soon… Maybe mid – late next year? Either way, as long as it keeps growing Im…[Read more]

Im interested in the Darwin market but havent planned a trip there yet… are you both from Darwin /near Darwin?

Def a good spot to invest if you pick the right property…

Interesting to hear hmackay’s post about buying props with barter $$ -there may be a positive to these systems after all?

All I can say is that I had a bad experience with Bartercard and wouldnt suggest anyone get involved with them, especially a small business. I wont get into the details here, but be careful.

Dev * [kid]

Exactly
