They had an article on setting up syndicates and what you needed to cover in agreements. They described an actual development and how they did it.

I think to find out the true situation you really need to visit and do a proper assessment.

The blurb below is trying to illustrate just how different things are in south east asia to Aus/NZ.

I also have the luxury of considering property in Malaysia where the devaluation of US$ is bringing tremendous buying opportunities, so again with calculated risks, there is a selfish silver lining in the A$’s momentum for me.

Good luck Scarecrow7. I’m sure you’ve seen the number of abandoned houses and abandoned…[Read more]

Type “e” 2 bed 41m2 inc deck

This is another trick these companies use. They include the deck or patio in the floor area they quote.

If I was looking at it I would also check how big the development is. If it’s got more than about 50 apartments the banks tend to be wary of them, which can make it hard to borrow money on them. This may not be an issue for you but could present problems if you ever need to resell. I looked at a 200…[Read more]

8% won’t pay your costs. You need to be nearer to 10% in NZ.

If it’s downtown Auckland CBD you may have trouble financing it (without additional property as security) and it will be even harder if it is a serviced apartment.

It’s basically a copy of the relevant files held at the local council, it can tell you if there are any outstanding issues with the council (such as drainage problems or work that was started and never given final approval).

I think it also tells you about the council rules for the area (like…[Read more]

It’s illegal in NZ to ask for more than two weeks rent and four weeks bond on a normal residential rental. The landlord could get into trouble for accepting the $6,000.

This makes it easy to check that the bank is calculating interest correctly.

When I decide I want to reduce the loan balance I just pay some money back.

My ideal loan type is revolving credit as this gives you full control of what happens.

I also did the calculation on the richmastery seminar, I assumed 500 participants (from counting tables in the photos) and $1,000 profit per head. Not a bad way to get $500k and I think they are running two seminars in October.

I can see when the current property…[Read more]
