Don’t listen to a word any real estate agent says ever! Just kidding… well mostly. The real point is, don’t let anyone tell you something can’t be done, try it and find out for yourself. It is true alot of vendors will say no, but alot will say yes too.

The house I am currently living in, I have bought with a 7 month settlement (haven’t…[Read more]

Thanks lots to Quiggles and Weston for the valuable info. Especially Quiggles SS posts, they were great!!

Couple more questions… Weston, have you been able to get any higher LVR that 80%? I know in the US there seems to be a million hidden costs, realistically, what cash on cash can you expect at the end of the day? And last of all, is…[Read more]

All the guys have told you to do your homework first, and I fully agree. Don’t rush, as they say, the deal of a lifetime comes up about once a week. You will be amazed once you start looking for them, how unspecial this deal you are looking at will turn out to be.

In the mean time, here is a good start to your homework. Note the dollars I…[Read more]

Do whatever makes you money. If you are successfull at renos (proberbly helps if you enjoy it), spend your time at that. If you are not making money, or get bored, branch out.

You are starting from a bit of a rough spot, but i guess we all have to start somewhere! First of all your questions…

I know in Australia and New Zealand (and assume it would proberbly be the same everywhere), you must borrow the money from the country in which you are buying. The reason for this is banks don’t like using a security…[Read more]

I agree with TerryW, buyers agents can often do it cheaper than you, and it is not sight unseen (well, it is by you).

Look at the recent boom Australia has experienced. A typical $600,000 property would have gone up to $800,000 over X months. Over those same X months, a $400,000 would likely have gone up to $600,000. You often find properties go up by roughly the same value, rather than…[Read more]

Maybe i read it wrong, but didn’t you just answer your question? You said what is the benifit of low deposit, then went on and said wouldn’t you be better getting 100% loans to get as many properties as possible???

Anyway, you are right. As long as they are positive cash flow, get as many as you can (though some with a lower risk…[Read more]

If it is “Do you think this is a good investment?”, we don’t have enough info to answer.

If it is “Is it morally right?”, again, no one can answer for you, as you will have different moral value to the next person.

If I were you, I would determine first (before looking at the investment) if I thought it was morally…[Read more]

Let me ask you this question… If you knew of an investment that would return you 10% relatively safely, and I offered tto lend you money at 7%, how much would you borrow?

Different people have different risk tollerances (I can’t spell), but personally, I would borrow as much as they would lend me. What you need to do, is find an…[Read more]

Don’t take my word for it, but i was just talking about this to my NZ broker the other day, and he said alot of people are trying to have a company own the trust, and the banks are not keen on the idea. He makes the point that banks are usually very conservative, and often balk at anything new or different.

Like I said, double check it, I…[Read more]

I wrote to a stack of mortage brokers asking the exact same thing. I got alot of people saying it is impossible to get more than 80% LVR, but some said they have done it for Aussies before, it depends on the area in NZ you want to invest. Here is a list of email addresses of a stack of brokers. Hope it…[Read more]

If you want an extraordinary life you have to be prepared to do things that ordinary people aren’t prepared to do.

No one else answered, so i thought i’d have a crack. Have you thought about buying an option? This is pretty common with developements. Take an option, get DA approval, then get the loan. Make sure you capitalise the loan (pay principle and interest all at the end) so the interest doesn’t eat you alive. Alternatively, you could do the…[Read more]

The easiest, well proberbly not, but the most accurate way of checking out average rent for an area, is by going to all the real estate agents in area and picking up thier weekyl listing. The real estate agents are usually pretty close to each other, so it is not too much effort, and gives you a good accurate figure.[]
