Will 10 to 20% of bank value spent on reno's add more than that to the property when finished? It will certainly help lift your rent? From what I understand you can depreciate the work and get a new valuation spending that sort of $$ which may give more instant equity? Try and stay at 10% if you can and  work with creative p…[Read more]

How though is using debt to pay debt turn neg into positive cashflow on an IP? Also by freeing up money that may be used to service another IP what of the equity being tapped into if you were going to leverage off that? I've read about IP's funding…[Read more]

Also if you can afford it aircon, it may sound like alot but tenants will pay more for aircon, its actually not that expensive just shop around. If the place is old mind you better check the board to make sure theres enough amps!

That figure sounds alot less than the norm unless your owner building which I have just finished and came in higher than that. If it is higher it of course changes the figures especially your outlay each month.Cheers

Sorry if this is basic stuff, I know it must be to you and many who have been there, but I'm learning as I go and although I am a bit imbarrassed not knowing these things I'd still rather ask?When you talk of cross-collateralising, is that for asset protection?From what I've read if you are not a trust but have many…[Read more]

I must admit I had to read it a couple of times for it to sink in!When you went back to the vendor and asked for more at 9% you mentioned 12% that would have been through a lender?I have just signed for my first IP and it is a lot less $$ wise than your one you've detailed.

Just finished with my accountant she suggested a family dicretionary trust. In her opinion hybrid is frowned upon by ATO and new laws have come in  and according to her they will become a thing of the past!

When you talk about being ripped off on purchase or rent can you please elabourate? Or are you talking about not seeing the property in person?

No's sold 120 last 12 mths days on market 55. Understand about glitzy places and dumps! In this area $250k and under need work. 4 agencies have 2/3% vacancy rate, all have said under $300 a week go within the week. One said 300 rentals on their books 1 available at that price.

My personal favourite strategy is to have both  by manufacturing growth and increasing rental return after purchase. True, it's not easy, but if you look at enough properties and if you even find one per year, you'll be on the road to wealth. I do believe the commercial arena provides more opportunities for using this strategy, an…[Read more]
