I lived in one once – out in Central Australia – it wasn't so bad.
It was mounted on a slab and had all mod con's. A/C kept it cool in summer and warm in winter. With one bedroom and small bathroom the rest was a n easy to use lounge/dining kitchen area

My big goal for 2013 is to off load negatively geared property in Australia, go back to the US and buy more property there so that I can then retire in peace!

How did your search go for a PM? I have a property in West Tamworth too – went to all agents and in the end only one would look at my property – even the agent I used for buying didn't want to look at PM.Cheryl F

Thanks Terry, I have been reading all week and am really getting turned off SMSF as my savings fund will be depleted and that will restrict my future buying (and traveling – another passion).Had already found http://www.trustdeed.com.au and liked their info. I think I will now be concentrating on learning more about trusts for IP's. I already have…[Read more]

I purchased a studio about 4 years ago in Cairns. It's not in a great location but it's not too far from anywhere either….it is a complex of mixed units and studios. At the time I was worried about finance but in the end I was offered finance by one of the majors and a credit union – with no conditions. The studio has been rented continually…[Read more]

I told my solicitor that I wasn't happy with short time, they told vendor's solicitor and they said I have no "legal" right to delay cos of short time and will begin charging fees.Time is probably OK but I do not want vendor in the house when I am doing my thing! I hear they are not happy so doubt that house will be cleaned or anything! Maybe…[Read more]

I have a studio in Cairns and have never had problems with it in over 5 years. Bank didn't care about the size either. I have a good CG on it now too.Studios have to be in good areas where people want to live in tiny homes (mine has the same tenant as 5 yrs ago) or in areas where holiday rental will do the job. I think I would be wary about g…[Read more]

Kez,
I’m still a newbie – I’ve lost a bit of money overtime – but second time around I’ve learned to do some research. Steve’s books helped a lot there

Hi Jo, here are the answers
1. property was sent to me by an agaent I have dealt with in the past and knows what I generally look at.
2. This is a rural/remote town with limited rentals and high need, I know the place and have checked out with other agent and one friend who lives nearby.
3.4. CG will be minimal?? – just my gut in the area – there…[Read more]

thanks Kez, Simon,
it looks all OK, wiring plumbing etc is good. The IP is not tenanted but rang a local agent (not the selling agent) and there are few “good” places available and they are looking for them. I have no IP’s near me so am used to not seeing properties so don’t really know why I am just a bit hesitant with this one.
Maybe it’s…[Read more]
