No deals as yet, just looking at face value from the adverts. There are various offices around Perth CBD and in the suburbs. Locations are usually in or near main white collar type businesses of the town. Some buildings contain 6 office units and can reach up to 40 offices.

I would agree with having one with too many offices in one…[Read more]

The offices are usually rooms inside a building (ie strata titled) and you lease this out to one or two person type businesses. The floor area is between 20 square metres to 60 square metres. The rental returns are 8% or more. The price seems to depend…[Read more]

I am not sure if there is such a Lien in Aust, but a caveat would be the closest in my mind. It is my understanding a caveat is placed to protect your interest (ie debt) and must be paid prior to the property being released on a sale.

As for property taxes, look up each states tax revenue department which is available on the…[Read more]

I finally got three r/e reps who I believe are leaders in their field for the area I live and are locals. Two are principals and one is an employee.

The first principal knew of what value we were looking for (my wife told him – first mistake I believe). His presentation was excellent and gave us a marketing strategy to sell – large front…[Read more]

I explained that they will have all my funds and give 2-3% on it while I am paying 6% on the loan, this can’t be right I asked. No, they said, there is no other way!

I’ll beat them yet, just wait!

Well today I received a letter from the bank saying I can use the cash as security until a new home is found!

This letter came from the local branch, not the Eastern States head office which whom I have been talking to.

The only catch I see in the letter is that it is not using the funds as in an offset account but in a Portfolio…[Read more]
