It would be great if we could get the loan on my partner’s alone but somehow I don’t think so considering our other investment loans.

My partner is on $75k and myself about $40k. We want to keep affordability and hopefully not have to sell any in order to do next purchase which we would like to do as reno-s…[Read more]

If you have read property investor magazine you will find that the directors of PW are very active in conducting property research and they know the Perth markets very well.

I’m in a similar position to you, i have equity from the WA boom but cautious about my next step since the market has turned here. I’m thinking about checking out opportunities over east for better rental yields.

If you are thinking of using a buyers agent and want to continue investing in Perth, I recommend ‘Property…[Read more]

I wanted to reno and sell to take advantage of the market at the moment but taking notes from your comments, I think I will need to build into this strategy the possibility of holding if the Perth market reaches it peak and slows before I come to sell.

Like you say, if i dont overcapitalise I should benefit through increased rental…[Read more]

And now those price ranges are long gone with people paying much more for the same type of property and they are selling within hours/days!!

Will keep an eye on what comes up in Perth…[Read more]

Also what is the average cost for their conveyancing services?

Double check this before you make any decisions but last time i checked a few months ago, if you have the property for less than 12mths (from contract purch. date, ie not settlement), you pay CGT on the full gain made.

If you sell after 12mths you can get a 50% reduction on the portion of capital gain that is taxed.

Hope that helps.

I think that will be the best. Im being extra cautious as iam not going to travel to see the property – regional, so im really relying on photos, reports etc. I will push for the report as well before making an offer.

After all they are the strata managers so they should have the report handy to just send straight away – which makes me…[Read more]

I agree with ‘what is the worst that could happen’ comment which brings it more into perspective.

Thanks for everyone’s useful opinions, it has helped me hearing them from other property investors rather than my negative friends.
