There is no need bite peoples head off, if you have nothing nice to say then dont say anything all.. I too hope you dont have kids!

I have a feeling the follow may actually be steve under different user names: homefree, markusj, Kid, etc.

I have no doubt they give you ‘some’ good advice but have you used it to make money in the long run or did you go to the seminar? listen and then go home and not do a thing about it?

That is my whole point – have people adopted these methods to make money? I highly doubt someone is going to give away all their secrets so you can make…[Read more]

And thanks to Goldfinger for giving them the correct answer.

Sorry guys.

Your guess is as good as mine. It would be best to disucss the matter with local real estate agents, firstly without advising them of the planning approval for 8 units and see what they value you land at.

Then spring it on them that you have a planning approval for 8 units also, see what the increases are and…[Read more]

I could suggest a number of ways to increase your income but they are not legal – ha ha ha

But seriously, just scope your local area and try for a Cash Flor Positive IP, get your most out of the money.

If you look hard enough out of the city, Cash Flow Positives homes still exist, espicially in commercial.

Accept cash and pay more of your morguage.. That way it reduces your intrest of your PPOR and becomes negative.

For examples, you sell your existing property for 200K, then buy 2 IP’s, rent them out for a combined of $275 approx. This would cover the all overheads, stamp duties, transfer fees, etc and…[Read more]
