I, also, found the preview evening to be well presented,…[Read more]

I’ll answer your questions more fully tomorrow, just have time for a quick browse at the moment. Actually, I’d rather not be too specific on some items publically, so if you would like the unvarnished truth do you have a less public email address?

I have done one joint venture for an IP and it was pretty easy. Both partners signed a JV contract which had all the details about how it would be run, how the finances would be shared, and what would happen if things went south. It is a legal document and enforceable.

The good thing is that you can set it up to say exactly what…[Read more]

As I said, check the fine…[Read more]

Basically it’s a wrap variation where Vic’s company buys up cheap and rundown properties in regional areas, does them up (very cheaply and not too flash), wraps them to investors at around 30 to 50% markup with a 5 year leaseback and…[Read more]

In surfing realestate.com for Dubbo I found a block of units up for auction on 19th (tomorrow!) with 4 x 1 bedroom units and 4 x 2 bedroom units. Rent income from these is $95 and $105 respectively. Buyer’s guide price is $380K to $430K so on paper it…[Read more]

There are lots of positive cashflow properties there and prices are starting to rise pretty quickly.

Just be careful which area of Dubbo you look at – West Dubbo has LOTS of +ve properties but some areas are absolute rat holes. For example I looked at one for $50K and rent of $120which was in good…[Read more]

I attended the same (free) one day “retreat” in Sydney a few years ago. If it’s the same there will be several speakers, all of whom are pushing a barrow to sell product of some sort.

Still, if you have the time it’s worth going along as you nearly…[Read more]

“A mixture of 2 & 3 bedroom units in a nice complex. Situated in the lovely Hills area. En-suites available with single and double garages.”

I always wanted to be able to drive my car into my en-suite!?

I bought a 3br fibro house for $78,250 which will rent for $145 p/w. I bought it as a first attempt at a wrap, but with the knowledge that if I stuffed everything up I could still rent it positively geared (not quite the 11 sec solution, but close enough for me) Yeah, I know I…[Read more]

This way it keeps all the funds relating to the properties in one place and provides a CLEAN record and paper trail for the…[Read more]

Because we had played the game in Sydney we were aware of the reason for the chaos, and also aware that it would do our companions on our table no good to just take charge in order to win. So they would benefit from the game, we encouraged them to make the decisions (with some leading questions) about what needed to be done, but…[Read more]
