For the last 8 years we have worked for ourselves (and while we are builders we aren’t the ones living in the flash houses). Up until two years ago we would get a nice refund in the mail, then two years ago we took on Insurance assessing work which added to our cash flow allowing us to pay off one car…[Read more]

You are usually only buying the plan and the materials; make sure that you are aware of the quality of the…[Read more]

I think you should have a company for your business for sure as this limits liability. But for property purchases, this is generally not recommended for lack of asset protection (the shares are an asset in your hands) and the lack of tax flexibility.

I have placed my trust in Richard who does know our financial status and although I don’t know him well enough yet, I can see that he is certainly respected on this and other forums. So this is just to let everyone to know that I have decided to go with a HDT.

Thanks all for your posts, all the advice was appreciated…[Read more]

In Vic a roofing plumber has to do any repairs associated with roofing and in NSW a builder can do it (we are licensed in both) so depending on Qld regulations I am not sure who you would contact but a building inspector could refer you.
Asbestos roofing isn’t always easy to walk on depending on how old it is, so be careful. Depending on…[Read more]

He needs time to condition the owner ‘down’ in price and he will be secretly encouraging some uneducated purchaser to place a rediculously low bid to the vendor in order to encourage the vendor down in price.

Have a look around the area and see what previous properties have sold for (you can…[Read more]

Going back to the cups catching rain analogy. Is it better to have a few large cups or lots of small cups to catch the rain. By that I mean is it better to by lots of cheaper properties (say properties in regional locations at about the $100,000 mark – which can be easier to positive…[Read more]

On the top 10 for victoria, Skye was number two; I believe that is near Frankston Nth? With that in mind you would think that a well researched selection around these areas could be a great long term performer. Good luck.
