There is a lot more management required and all the students seem OK at the interview. You need written rules and a lot of inspections. You need to be tough but gentle and sometime you need to be an arbitrator and student councillor. If you get a good cleaner they can be a great source of intelligence. A “site…[Read more]

Why do you want to know the bad suburbs? Isn’t it the bad suburbs that are about to emerge where you can make the most? Fitzroy, collingwood, Williamstown, Port Melb, Brunswick, Richmond …. all “used to be bad suburbs”.
Anyway places are not bad, just the tenants. I’ve seen “great suburbs” have houses trashed by bad…[Read more]

I think it is fair to say that Michael is offering more than just “live off equity” advice. I have been very tempted to attend Michael’s workshop myself but I have had some health issues and am not quite in a position to do much at the moment. I have “paid” large amounts for advice previously and I…[Read more]

More specifically the use of Insulated Concrete Forms or ICF. (do a web search on ICF homes). My information is that just plain concrete…[Read more]

Then use this to get another IP. This way she can use as much as she is comfortable with.
How long has she been out of the PPOR because it may no longer be viewed as a PPOR by the tax dept.

As far as I know shared housing, rooming houses, boarding houses and hostels are all a bit different. We have a shared accomodation to avoid some of the regulations concerning boarding houses etc. There is a booklet regarding boarding housing but I can’t locate it at the moment.

The splitting of profit and asset, maybe even expenses can be worked out. What about the time and inconvenience. When something breaks down who rings around and meets tradies, what if one of you can’t “afford it just yet”. what if it is a 3am emergency.
I have experianced all of this and…[Read more]

for the quick replies. Yesterday was my first day on the forums (being a holiday I had some time).
I have looked at a few areas before going into Frankston. I think being a coastal city with increasing infrastucture is the main growth driver. As the area increases in value I think the lower soci-economic groups may move to…[Read more]

I am very interested in the Frankston Heights area. I bought a couple of blocks for development but due to some medical issues could not proceed. The original plan was to renovate and hold. I now need to offload as I can’t fund the repayments any longer due to the medicals. I have thought of redeveloping with 6 units, but don’t know how to…[Read more]

I don’t know how this would work but I was told to always insert the “or nominee clause into the sales contract. One thing to be wary of is that there is no extra charge for nomimating someone else. I got stung $300.00 this way.
Cheers
