I’ve also heard that many brilliant leaders are in fact brought up in regional areas. They have the advantage of being able to think outside the square a bit more than others. ie they haven’t been brought up with the stereotypical thinking that people from big cities have!!

What ever it was that you were smoking when you wrote that post, can’t have been good stuff.

I agree with Del, have a look at WealthGuardian and also, I’ve posted a summary on Trusts on this forum, so that may be a short summary worth looking at for you. The seminar certainly did not mention companies as alternative methods for wealth creation and asset protection with regards to property.

Bye

Terry,

They mentioned the name Hybrid Trusts, but there were no slides on them at all, so can’t say anything further on that. One thing I noticed was that they did not allow questions. When a guy asked a question, he was basically asked to ask it of the consultant at the end, as the question pertained specifically to his situation. When the guy said that he believed the question to be quite general and that others would probably like to know the answer, they basically still avoided answering it.

The question was a good one, so I’ll ask it here.

If a loss is incurred by an asset in a trust, can you distribute the loss to highest taxed beneficiary so that they can claim the loss?

They certainly did not discuss their fee structure, but one of consultants said that if you were interested in their help, the guideline was that you needed to have approx $500K of assets to place in the trust and about $5000 available for admin fee per year.

At the end there was a questionnaire asking for feedback and asking permssion to contact you and some glossy brochures to take home of course!!!

Oooops!
Yes you are using a broker…sorry. I’d still widen the search though…

I agree with furthering the search on finance. Like I read in a book somewhere, just because one institution knocks you back, don’t be discouraged. Move on to another and then another
Are you using a broker?

Thank Terry,

I’m currently setting up a family trust, so this will be helpful. I just registered over the internet, so hope to see you there.

Will send out an email to all the Sydney forum respondants about getting together soon.

Terryw and Nick,

Terryw – Firstly, I’m not that savvy electronically to put asterisks in my name. The reason is that the site thinks I’m swearing, and it is technically correct because my name is spelt with a rude word in it. []

Funny though, if you look to the left, my full name is displayed, so go figure???? So you should be able to work out my email address now.

Nick, great minds think alike[] I’ll post up a new topic right away. The idea is so buried in the previous post that I don’t think anyone else will read it.

See you there,

Ish

Hi Cocopops,

I’m in the same boat as you, single and IP hunting. Here is what I posted on the IP Roll Call started by ENJOlady,

“Hi All,

I’m Ish and my first real experience of this positive IP community was at the Masters Seminar. I’m hooked!!!!

Yesterday I negotiated and agreed on my first IP!!! Thanks so much to this community and site in assisting me to be educated enough to do that.

A little about me, I’m 36 and live in Sydney’s southern suburbs. No partner or kids…yet. I do however have 2 beautiful nieces, 6 and 8 years old.

I work as a training consultant for a company based in North Sydney but spend most of my work time in Australia’s capital cities running training courses. Plenty of time in hotels for searching the internet for properties I guess!!!

Nice to hear a little about all of you and was wondering if maybe we could go the next step. How do people in Sydney feel about setting up the occassional social meeting? Like minded people getting together and sharing experience, face to face! I’m more than happy to be the organiser so if you’re interested, drop me an email with the following preferences:

Frequency – ie. 1/month, 1/3 months, etc
Day of week
General Location – city, north, etc?
Drinks only or food and drinks

Hope to hear from the Sydney -ites soon,

Ish

PSS: Don’t know if this has already been organised by others, so if so, please fill me in”

I’m happy to have someone to talk with. Where are you based? Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey there Choc,

A bit of feedback from a Newbie…Get into this community and site. I found that getting Fastrack and some other products from the site and then going to the Seminar allowed me to start doing it for myself, and then when it came time to take the plunge, I got some really specific feedback from this site when I needed it.

Agreed on a price with a vendor for my first IP on Friday, so hopefully, with a little luck and a lot of organising and questioning, all will continue in the right direction from there.

You don’t need the Seminar to do it, but there are heaps more resources here for you to learn from.

Welcome to the site and Happy Investing…

Hi All,

Just to close off on this post, I’d like to let you know that I did it!!. Infact on a different property, although very similar.

Thanks to all who replied,

Thanks Red Card, Ronulas and others who have replied…

I failed to include a rather important detail in the post…this is a small block of 6 x 1 bedroom units. So its a small price to pay for (as I see it) 6 properties, where rental increases will be much easier to achieve than if it were 1 property. Michael and Kay are still helping me crunch the numbers, so the learning continues.

I do hear you Ronulas…the lower value properties do provide higher cocr’s due to lower stamp duty component which is not deductible.

I’ll let you know what I finally decide. However in the meantime, I’ve hit another snag. I had preapproval for money, but now find that because the property is on a single title and is single storey (???not sure why thats an issue), some institutions will not lend or will only lend at an LVR of 70%. They also want the property to be “Strata Able” ie. can be separated into 6 separate titles. 70% LVR still provides +ve cocr, but where am I going to get that kind of deposit!!!!!!

Currently in search for a creative and flexible lender…talking to prosolutions who are being as helpful as possible…thanks Stuart

Anyway…I post this information and hope it is/will be helpful to others at some stage…

Many, many thanks to Michael and Kaye, could not be as clear about the process and decisions without your assistance.

Ish

PS: Editing function appears to be working well on my name…and yes, I did cop heaps when I was at school[] Maybe we can use Ish instead and then I won’t be constantly reminded…just joking[], its cool [8D]

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses so far.

Re the topic of only 1 mortgage insurer remaining, my source was my broker who mentioned it while I was talking to him about getting finance.

Alison, I certainly hope that 9.6% is the true figure, because then of course I would have no hesitation. Michael is checking this for me so I’m sure all will be revealed shortly.

Thanks again…bye for now[8D]
