I’m from echuca/moama where there are about 7 house boat leasing companys and a large number of private houseboats. The boats are good but the thingsd that really kill you are mooring fees. Cant tell you how much they are but in the area i’ve heard figures in excess of $100/w

I’d still love one myself though…….

I agree with westan… I bought a house in ararat (about 2.5 hours west of melb)
less than 2 years ago and stand to make a 285% approx capital gains. (i think thats accurate). It also brought me in approximately $35 a week +cf. I havent bought in metro city areas due to the cost factor. i can make just a good profit in the conuntry as…[Read more]

I’m 20 ( youngest on this topic!!) and bought my first ip at 18, and now have two but selling first one for a handy profit (touch wood). I have to agree with westan…. he does look like he’s 24……but had a hard time of it….(yeah yeah advanced hair!!![][][]) I know him quite well and i could shatter all of your illussions but i…[Read more]

I’d be happy living on anything more than my current salary, litereally 0k and year, seeing as i reinvest every cent.

I’m currently negotiating the sale of my ip, a deal should be done hopefully in the next 2 days. I bought this house originally as a buy and hold,( or possibly to live in) but mainly for rental income. But since i bought it in late 2001 for approx 27 thousand ( loan 30k to allow for improvments and lived in for short while…[Read more]

i lived in my current ip for couple of weeks until i lost my job and didnt have to pay back the fhog. i did check with the relevent authorities but didnt have to worry about it because the rates and bills had all been in my name.

Another thing that i failed to mention is that with luck i should have 6-7k to use as a deposit for the loan, but im not sure how much easier this will make getting the loan. I am also looking at investing in nz, what are the hances of getting a nodoc loan thru a nz bank using my aus home as an asset?

Following rodc’s advice(thanks mate!) i got on the internet and looked up a town in nz. most city councils around the civilised world ( obviously excluding the savage isles such as tasmania etc etc etc []) have there own websites that have bountiful amounts of information. gotta love the internet!

Great idea! whats the website for the defence housing? would that be under the army website, or would you have to call somewhere to get a hold of the responsible authority?

At the risk of sounding hopeless, do you recomend any sites other than realestate.com.au for the purchase of +ve geared rental properties?
