No there are none of our Gladstone deals left currently – all 25 were snapped up in a flash, as you’d expect. I’d have to go and find out which estate they are in as this was a deal my business partner did earlier (they just settled in the last month or so I believe).

In my second and third paragraphs U am referring to Option agreements. The Option agreement allows us to nominate the buyer and the price. The valuation…[Read more]

Depending on the lender, the Mortgage insurance is usually paid in large blocks of settlements. This means your loan is often not officially registered for sometimes 2-3 months. This will prevent you from changing the loan and upgrading to access equity.

With our members, we do things a little different for this very reason. We also source…[Read more]

There are always more deals and better…[Read more]

A lot of our members/ clients have received advice in the same circumstances as you are in. They opted to set up a suitable trust structure to purchase the property through. You should seek suitable professional advice on this but I thought this would help to know. Also, as advised above, there are different finance options available…[Read more]

The aim of property investing is to make money right? This is always by either cashflow gain v’s capital growth. Cashflow is achieved through rent v’s costs … Therefore the more rent you receive and/ or the less costs you have the better the cashflow over time. If you can negotiate on BMV deals then the capital increases faster…[Read more]

As most comments previously have suggested, Torrens title would be the preferred option for many reasons. The council will be able to help you on understanding the minimum allotment sizes in your zoning and council area. You should also check for easements and any other restrictions such as construction footprint restrictions and…[Read more]

You will need a good accountant and quantity surveyor to set a plan of action to maximize on your deductions. I agree with previous comments of not focusing on the tax savings only or looking to lose money thru negative gearing. The goal in investing is to make profit and balance between equity/ capital growth and cashflow gain in…[Read more]

My company recently completed 25 house and land package deals for our members and a few staff. Here are the basics:

Total Val on house + land was $460k.
Clients received upfront equity of $85k upon settlement of the land.
This equity was then used to purchase the land – 20% Dep + Costs.
The remainder + 10% of deposit was used to…[Read more]

I have attended David & Julie’s program … and in theory what they teach makes a lot of sense and can be done. However, what is in theory is not always easily executed. You must have excellent communication skills, and be able to have the vendor understand the process very clearly, and be able to see clearly the benefit to them. Point…[Read more]

Welcome to the group! I agree with Josh, there are a lot of good properties out there in the mining regions that are CF neutral … we have also done many that are CF positive. If you know how to negotiate well and structure the deal correctly you can even set these deals up with a buffer in your loan to cover and costs, upkeep or…[Read more]

We recently did a deal for our clients in Gladstone after rescuing a Developer with 3 Land + construction deals they needed to finalise within 60 days to avoid a disaster.

On the tail-side of that deal … being successfully completed and building trust with them … we set up a deal for about 25 of our clients to secure a house and land…[Read more]

It’s always very important to have a good plan … and naturally get good advice from professionals who…[Read more]

I guess some people don’t appreciate that there are people who love to make a difference.

Wayward … maybe you should invest in an iPhone and you too can chat and make a difference between appointments

I’d agree with the comments of buying positive geared and even more preferably…[Read more]

Due to changes in the last few years in regulations of SMSF’s now being able to borrow to invest in property … this has changed the landscape of the Super arena in many ways … giving the SMSF more control and flexibility in your options to invest. One of my companies deals with Property and another of my companies deals with…[Read more]

I have assisted clients with solutions to cash-flow issues …. one client…[Read more]

I’ve never heard of this company either … The closest to this name I have heard of is’ Advanced Property Strategies’ but I don’t think you are referring to them.
I also agree with Richard about the ‘one stop shop’ strategy. I feel most of the time this strategy comes from a foundation of greed rather than being of service. I’m sure…[Read more]
