from your description, it sounds very much like a readily available “textured” paint finish.”Fibro-Charm” sounds like a brand name. If you are able to remove a small piece from the existing ceiling, (about 50mm square) a good paint specialist should be able to match the type and colour for you.

It’s my belief that the deposit should be included as part of the cashflow to get a true accounting of ALL your actual costs. Any cash going into or coming out of your pocket during any part of the transaction is cashflow.

The P&I or IO payments for the balance of the purchase price are classed as cashflow, the deposit is part of the…[Read more]

As Tikki says, check the fine print in your documentation.

Sounds like you need to manage your manager. I see them basically as contractors. They take your hard earned and in return they are supposed to provide a service. You have every right to expect them to properly do the job for which they are being paid.

In my role as a commercial property maintenance manager, I have found that…[Read more]

However, my personal motivation is twofold.

1)Financial security for retirement. I don’t think any one will argue that the pension will be a viable option to provide a remotely comfortable retirement. By the time retirement comes around, and having worked for the best part of 45 – 50 years, [glum2] raising a…[Read more]

Nope Didn’t miss it but you said you can’t edit it so what’s the point of picking on it?

HOWEVER try these two. At the bottom of the calculator, just above Steve’s pretty face (depends on your fancies, I guess!) “press on the banner to take you too (should be “to”) the Property Investing forum Board.” and just above that in the line of…[Read more]

I just looked at the changes. In the words of a famous fruiterer “BEWDIFUL”

Thanks for taking the changes on board.The use of “your” relates to possession as in “on your way” whereas “You’re” is a contraction of “you are on your way.

just a couple of thoughts.

1)percentage you estimate vacant per year” – The percentage shows occupancy rather than vacany, ie 3 weeks vacany/year equals 94.23% occupancy. should that line read “percentage occupancy per year”[biggrin]

2)there’s a grammatical error in the banner near the top of the page – “You’re five steps away from…[Read more]

Would this be preferable to paying down the IP and losing the deduction?
this way there would be no need to sell.

Firstly, welcome!

As a newbie also, and after reading Steve’s book, I have been looking around different regional areas (including Ballarat – I came up with the same result as you) for +ve cash flow properties.
I have found the major regional towns in Vic. have also enjoyed a certain amount of the property boom, so you may need to look…[Read more]

I think you made the right choice to hold! I agree with most of the other replies. The offer sounds to me like an agent trying to drum up business by throwing some bait.
The only way to be sure, if you were to consider selling, is to tell the REA to get the offer in writing from the other party and then do your numbers.
