Good on you for getting your story straight. 77 properties now huh.D

Have you called the council to ask how long the approvals are taking in the area? Tack on about 3 mths and you may have a clear picture of a time frame. I heard of approvals going through in under 3mths but depends how motivated the council is. I would think that if it is just a straight split no buildings to approved it would get though…[Read more]

LOL! I clicked the angry face after the… call me on some DODGY number regarding DODGY finance part.I think you are better off sending $1000 dollars to charity at least you will get more out of it.D

I'd probably try and find out if you can get any sort of public liability insurance on it. Just in case any one walks on the site trips over and tries to sue or something stupid. The builder will take out insurances if you do go that extra bit. I've done a block with existing house not vacant block. Let me know how you go with this I'm sure I'll…[Read more]

OMG I have tears in my eyes! So funny and TRUE!D

I'm not. D

Anyone can build! All you need is money and a phone. Probably a permit and some land would be useful….. I should clarify, I would  like to be the developer and oversee the builder.lolD

Ahh Ben…….Stay a home mums……..we'd let your wife in…..lol! Just kidding, you have a LOT of enthusiasm don't lose it!I think I'd rather be the builder then I can make the money. D

Hahaha! Don't worry most people do! I do like building sites, beer and V8's! All part of the fun that is a forum for the invisible. D

BTW – Here is what was in the do not spruik rant Agreed – too much 'soft spam' is flying under the radar. But you can help us! At the bottom right of each post is an 'angry' face. Click that and it will report the post as spam and we will investigate. Regards, – Steve

No one is seriously using this guy and his totally bogus scam! I always believe posts from people who have only posted once all backing each other up. Not!  Geez if you are dumb enough to go for this when there are stacks of other ways to get money then you deserve to be parted with your money. And everyone wonders why I am anti spruik! This sort…[Read more]

He hehe how funny I went on holidays this week and just happened to pick up a Star Trek book from 1977 in a second hand shop! Nerd Alert! My parents firmly believed in the good guidance from the Trek world Original series only for me though! BC – Those red Shirts are a dime a dozen! Also you will soon stop smiling when your wife starts dropping…[Read more]

johntaps,What is your motivation? Cautionary tale as to why not to invest in one particular suburb? Were the 125,000 first home buyers all in Medina? No? Oh were they spread across the country? Yes?The poor first home buyers……yes poor them wanting to live in their own home. Must be pretty terrible to have their own place now instead never…[Read more]

Hi Peterpith,If you type sub division in at the top in the search area then HEAPS of previous threads will come up. There are plenty of people who you can private message as well who will give u approximates. It is worth doing if you have the cash to pay for the associated costs.D

You haven't said how long you have been in your PPOR. If you have been there for awhile and you are very settled don't worry about moving out as you can set up 2-3 IP's without a problem and without really changing your lifestyle. If you have been there a year and it is not the right house to live in or you've outgrown it with kids etc then yeah…[Read more]

I still don't like it ! The problem is that friends of ours built up along the coast in WA thinking they could rent out for 950 a week spend a mill and a bit building. Yes new estate etc harder to rent etc (had to because they moved interstate, house was primarily built a PPOR). Now still on at $650ish a week. I rent in a million plus neighborhood…[Read more]

I'm confused as to why you would have 1 house for over a mil and get $800p/w rent. When you could have 3 houses for under a mil and get $900 p/w rent? You would then spread your risk. Ok so you wont have a million dollar house but so what you don't get to live there. Think with head not heart. This is business and if your heart is winning then the…[Read more]

You soooo better not be paying….the advertising, the letting fee, really anything to these agents. Get rid of them. Get the details call the ladies tell them that the agent has fallen through, call the agent get rid of them not necessarily in that order and call a couple agents tell them you have the tenant reday to sign on an what will they…[Read more]

Hey all,I got the elite investor pack. So far have worked through the starter dvds and will be going through the advanced  dvds soon. So far has been pretty good learnt a couple things. I think the advanced dvds will hold a bit more info for our particular stage so fingers crossed they will be good. I think the 3 day event in May will be pretty…[Read more]

Victoria? I think you will find that you might really have an uphill slog with this one. How many different owners are there? Is there a Body Corp? You might find that you have 5 very large objectors to you plans. Have you talked to some of your neighbors to ask them what they think? I think this may have been done once or twice but unless you are…[Read more]
