Hi Deepak, Nice to meet you. Share your opinions and questions. Glad to have you

so johny, what is your ultimate outcome with the property???sell it or rent it out?

i have been saving for a few years now with a deposit of 20-30k….i used the first home savers account and will use the FHOG to help me out. I'll buy a PPOR with it and then convert it to an IP – you could do this as well.Good luck!

sydney city = noi agree with the posters above. ..go west

some tips could be: ask the neighbours, or if there is a vacant house or a mailbox, then write a letter and leave it in the mailbox or slide it under the front door

just keep saving for your deposit.. or you could be creative and ask the vendor for finance for the deposit

i just got an ipad as a present will be opening it up soon and playing with it – hopefully to access the forum on it too.Hopefully there's no dramas

i probably won't be able to make the june event. Perhaps you could please take a youtube video of the event and post it up again so we can watch it there.thanks

So did you end up calling the ATO to ask for a private binding ruling? Tell us what happened. very curious of the outcome

wisepearl mentioned a SMSF where you needed only $600-700ish?!?!? does anyone know which provider allowed for this.Like the rest of you, I also want to take control of my destiny. I don't liek the high management fees of my previous super funds, and I don't necessarily agree with their investing strategies!

the chinese cancelling coal orders will not be good for the various mining economies – and could have negative impacts for investment properties in those areas too. i will keep an eye out for what's happening in china regarding demand for australia's resources

hey i just read the revised version of steve's book. He's got a section there about subdividing which may be useful for you to relook at to get you some ideas and direction

i thought about storage facilities too as they have passive income elements to them. However, I was keen to find more info about it too. Anyone know any good resources/books for storage facility investing in Australia?

for me, i just bought the usa property power pack from steve last week. i haven't gone through it yet, but perhaps it could help you out too for foreign investing in the usa. have you gone through it?

i just got steves books a couple of weeks ago. I'd suggest folowoing the strategies in there – it's pretty straight forward. Good luck!

It really depends. First of all, does your husband-to-be currently have the qualifications and license to sell real estate? If he doesn’t, that’s the first and most important thing to do!

Do you have a particular are you are interested in? All prices and everything can vary greatly by location!

Cheeves immediately came to my mind as well. I have heard lots of great things.

I had never even considered investing in the Detroit area. I am sure there are some nice areas there, but I have not heard many good things.

Thanks for your response. My post was feeling a little lonely. I had been hearing things about Philadelphia, but it seems that Pittsburgh may be more up to date.
