1. Bought IP1 in Sept 2000
2. Bought Ip2 in April 2001
3. Bought PPOR in June 2001 (can I claim FHOG? at that time I did not put in a claim because I think I am not eligible.

If you have never lived in them and didn’t own property before Jul 2000 then you are elegible for the FHOG.

Ah, gotcha!

I could do this – I’m wondering (out loud!) how much people would want this. There is a free property management software out there (whos name I’ve forgotten!). It may be worth you looking for it.

But then again, I guess it could be convenient to have this as part of ez-rent. The question is, whether its…[Read more]

I think the best way to start is use other people equity to buy your first ip if you don’t have any deposit. Ohter people equity like your parent, uncle, aunty….or may be joint venture wher you find a property and the other party put down the deposit.

Good luck with your journey…

I think anytime is the best time to start, but like westan said learn as much as possible from this forum and read as many books as you can. May be consider saving useful tips to where you can get your hand on later.

Investing in property is not an easy journey, but it’s worth it at the end.

Good luck Ian, but I don’t many of us here willing to try with 20mb.

May be when I get back to work 2 week from now then I will give it ago!

Ian,

Try to come up with 2mb or less. You are a programmer I know you can do it. I am a programmer too.!

I am in the process of buying a couple of houses in SA. I don’t any deposit at all. I do this by negotiate with the agent to ask the vendor whether it is ok.

So it is base on negotiation up front.

Chan I think Westan was saying if you are on a salary of $100k, a capital gain, in this instance, would effectively make your assessable income $200k. The additional $100k, would be obvioulsy taxed at the marginal rate of 47%. Therefore the $47k figure.

I think timing is very important. May be at this point in time, there are no buyer who looking for this kind of property. If there is may be those still think it’s over price by not looking close enough. or may be they think and worrying when is going to be the next interest rate rise.

Sometime in the hot market, there are property for sale with…[Read more]

As I am now own more than 1 IPs I am sure I won’t be legible, but just wondering and confuse that’s all.
