My question is , should I pay from my own funds or get a bank loan to do the renos?
I’m considering buying another IP soon and want to maximise my borrowing capacity, so not sure if its better to use my own funds or the banks? Also is it better from a Tax perspective to get…[Read more]

I am thinking of investing in SE QLD as all the indicators are that this is one of the few markets in Oz that is a rising market.
I am looking at places like Logan (granny flat option to add cashflow), Salisbury or Gold Coast.
Anyone else looking at SE QLD , I would be keen to hear your thoughts.

Kind Regards

Marty

Then go to Citibank at 495 E Silverado Ranch Blvd Las Vegas and open a Business Bank account.

INCPARADISE have a mail forwarding facility with US Street address http://www.incparadise.net/text/mail-forwarding.htm.

Anything I'm missing here?

One question why would you want a business account as opposed to a personal account?

Do you think it matters if I get the plans drawn up by somebody in Armidale or just use a Sydney Designer as they are more plentiful

Spoke to 2 Architects. Got a quote for $21000 just to lodge DA. This quote does not include Council, Surveyor or Engineer fees. Seems steep to me.

I did some research and found only 2 Architects. They both quoted roughly the same figures ($30K – $50K). I did not even know that you could get a Building Designer or Draftsman to do the drawings to for the initial DA Application.  I didn't now there was planning and working drawings. I assumed that you just got…[Read more]

Steve talked about this when he was in Sydney a couple of weeks ago and basically said that if the FHOG is not extended then this will have serious implications for the housing market. I guess we will see some frantic activity in the housing market (especially the low end) until June 30th ,then who knows. This will also be bad…[Read more]

Do you know as an OZ investor in the US, how much deposit do you require (5%, 10% etc). Can you use equity in property here to obtain a loan and is there much problems obtaining finance.
What about Stamp Duty and costs?

Would like to hear more.
