Given that company directors are still liable and given that superfunds can be targeted if one is sued, then I guess these structures arent worth the money.With superfunds, my parents split, and mum got half of dad's super. So i really dont want a company or superfund.I think they do not provide any better protection than a sole…[Read more]

(1) Does this mean setting up a superfund and then transferring the assets to that? The thing is I owe about $280K and there is about $320K in free equity or capital there now.

I might investigate this at the hardware store and see if I come up with the same end result.The alternative option is to repaint the cupboards.Not sure about feature walls. The problem is that a feature wall for 1 potential buyer may be distusting for the next.

J, my aim is to continue renting the place out. My tenant will be doing all the reno’s as he has done pubs professionally before. I will be paying for the materials. I am a little nervous about it all.

For the bathroom, by white fittings I meant the toilet, the hand basin. The floor tiles I have purchased a…[Read more]

I am trying to stay clear of “my” preference because its really a PI and I won’t be living there. I think my tenant’s suggestions are good.

Do you guys think the following is too colourful?

He has suggested teracota tiles for the kitchen, white tiles for the walls, haven’t decided on the benchtops etc yet.

and for the…[Read more]

I don’t think I would sell these ever, and I am currently looking for bargains to swallow up to increase this property portfolio.

What I would do is try to borrow the full 80% value of each of the properties by getting your banks to revalue. Then you get the extra money given to you and pay that into your house…[Read more]

I remember when buying my first property for $65,000 in Oct2001 how everyone 6 months later was saying the market would crash. I asked everyone, every age group from different business environments. Most of the older (50-60 year old working people) advised to sell out for around $80,000K and…[Read more]

I guess its just that I never take at face value what a real estate agent tells me. I want to check it out from the other end where the agent has no input, but I really don’t know what the other end(s) are if you know what i mean.

For example the other end could include finding someone who has purchased one of them and…[Read more]
