    Hi Alistair,

    Have you had personal experience with them
    And would you recommend chris Pappas
    As a good accountant. He seems very good
    And is definitely a character alright.

    Cheers

    Thanks V8ghia,

    I have decided not to rush into signing the contract if my offer is accepted tomorrow. I will wait until my solicitor looks at it on Monday. Thanks for your help.

    Cheersl

    Hi Andy,

    I will talk to my mortgage broker about whether my name will be on the loan or not. I just presumed it was as we will be getting the deposit drawn down from our existing PPOR loan which has both names on the title. Will also seek legal advice with the lawyer who will do the conveyancing for us. Thank you very much

    Hi Terry and Milton,

    Yes Terry my question is aimed at the family law situation. I wanted to protect myself If something (God willing it doesn’t) happened to our marriage down the tract. I thought the 50/50 split on this IP would be hard to do if it’s just in his name so was wondering if there is a form I could apply for that would prove I am an owner too without my name on the title.

    Thanks again

    Andrea

    Dohickey,
    Just in case you haven’t seen it.

    Hi Min,
    I’m using Ray White (Mark Saxton). They seem to be ok. Marilyn is pretty careful who she leases your property out to. I myself would have gone with LJ Hooker but because my father inlaw spoke highly of her I had no choice.
    As for my 82k mortgagee with repairs of 10-15k, it was a lot less than that even though we put in a new kitchen, carpet, lino and completely renovated inside and out. It really does help having local contacts and ……a father-inlaw for a builder.[biggrin]
    cheers

    sorry, didn’t answere all your questions. I purchased this property in Allen Bell Drive…yep not a good area. this is my second IP in this street and my other one is doing fine. Yes they are both positive. The trouble now is that this street is 50% rental. This house I just purchased is in the middle of two houses owned by a kiwi who lives in oz down the road from me. Although this street is not the best, investor seem to love it. No good for the yourg locals who are now finding house prices out of their reach.

    Hey dohicky,
    Haven’t yet got a tenant as renovations are not complete. Should be finished next week. There is a nurse who is keen and willing to wait until all renovations are complete but we need to check her out. Just the fact she works is a good start.
    I think Ahipara’s prices are crazy. Who would have thought prices in little ole Ahipara consisting of 500 people would sky rocket like they have. Prices are like Sydney and yet their average wage is that of low income earners here. Who would have thought.
    Once I get a tenant, I exprect to charge $180 plus $10 for water pw. This is a three bedroom fully renovated house.
    cheers

    Hello all,
    Back from my NZ trip and here to tell you the outcome of my little dilemma I had. The tenant that wouldn’t move out – well I got my father-inlaw to go around and bluff them. He told them they were trespassing and if they didn’t move out we would take them to court. As soon he mentioned court cost, that got them. They said they couldn’t afford that and moved that weekend. We flew out 4 days later.
    If that didn’t work I would have slipped them some money like western mentioned, time wasn’t on my side.
    As for my lawyer, he’s only young. His father is the main Partner there. I will still use him even though he made a mistake. I made one earlier this year by signing a contract to purchase a house that i later didn’t want. He got me out of that deal.
    To dohicky, I was raised in Ahipara….house prices there are crazy.
    cheers

    Hey Westan,
    I’ll let u know how everything goes. I have no Tenancy Agreement with them and as far as I’m concerned, they are squatters and are trespassing. Since the law is usually on their side, I have to be careful how i handle things.
    Getting the Police to kick them out was one of my options but was told we couldn’t do by my father-inlaws lawyer.
    All I can say is Wish me luck…..

    Westan,
    I’ve just read: The property is sold subject to existing tenancies or occupations (if any) including holding over by the Mortgagor.
    I missed that and so did my solicitor. Never mind I’ll have to work something out now that the ball is in my court. Thanks for your help. Another lesson learned.
    cheers

    Hi Westan,

    I purchased this house in Kaitaia. Top of the North Island. The previous owners who forfeited the bank are the ones still in the house. I thought it would be the responsiblity of the real estate agent who was looking after it for the bank to get rid of them. They have said it is our responsibilty as it is written in the contract. My solicitor told me different. I’m hoping someone knows what to do with them in a hurry.
    Thank you
    Mitzu
