  • Michael4 replied to the topic How to estimate current property value in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 5 months ago

    Hi Elka,The commercial property is retail space which has 2 carparks, garage, and two floors of office space. It is on a good busy road with access to the local shopping centre and it also has security gates on the weekend so there is no possiblity of thieves stealing anything from the premises.I do believe the tenant moved in straight after the…[Read more]

  • Michael4 replied to the topic EQUITY++ FROM PROPERTY 1 BUT WHERE TO NOW in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 5 months ago

    Hi andrew,Don't get confused here. the basic principle the banks look at is as i mentioned earlier. If your salary is $1500 a week vs $600 obviously this will have a greater effect on how much you are able to borrow from the banks.If you had i.e $1500 you will be able to purchase another 2 ip with some deposit down and having 2 ip that you p…[Read more]

  • Michael4 replied to the topic What are my options? in the forum Finance 16 years, 5 months ago

    Hi there,i have to agree with Lia here because if you are able to borrow 90%+ to purchase an investment property if you do your homework you can find a positively geared property in an area that is likely to boom and be stable in the short and long term.As this is you first investment i suggest that you don't sell your property where you live…[Read more]

    Hi Bronte,I agree with mark here. i personally had the experience of not needing to renovate becasue i bought the IP at the right place at the right time which was also positvely geared!the place i bought the property was in Port Augusta in SA which 3 years later all the experts are voting the place to be the next place invest! they are right…[Read more]

  • Michael4 replied to the topic Help with in the forum Finance 16 years, 5 months ago

    i agree with Bharat..if you really want to be a successfull investor you must free up your LVR by either moving into a smaller house or into a unit. Your problem is not the property value that you live in but the ability to borrow because you owe soo much money!Before you do anything you should know what your short and long term goals are as this…[Read more]

  • Michael4 replied to the topic EQUITY++ FROM PROPERTY 1 BUT WHERE TO NOW in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 5 months ago

    Hi Andrew,The bank will look at the repayments per month, equity in the positively geared property you purchased and your salary.Assuming you put a 10% deposit and make the two properties positively geared the bank will most likely won't lend you $200,000 because of your low salary. Especially if the negative property is evaluated under the pur…[Read more]

  • Michael4 replied to the topic Where would you invest $420k ? in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 10 months ago

    What you could do is actually buy 6 or more +ve properties that you will be able to borrow more by re-evaluating them after ie 1 yeat and buy land near the areas for the long haul that will boom based on your research.

  • Michael4 replied to the topic as green as!! in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Calm,

    The first thing you would need to do is to ask yourself why and where do you want to be in the future.

    You need to make a investment plan and have reasons behind it as we all have different goals and strategy.

    No strategy is wrong or right if it is executed properly.

    Once you establish the reasons of why you want to be a property…[Read more]
