Hi Cutegirl

Have you considered New Zealand, you will still need a 20% deposit but you will be able to buy positive cashflow in a main city. It will also allow you to have a separate income stream in New Zealand to Australia. The problem in Australia at present is that because all property is negatively geared the banks look at that as a loss.…[Read more]

Dont bother

Firstly are you dealing with a builder of a marketing company. Either way the price may be inflated by as much as $25,000. There are also a lot of house and land packages in that area. Do you research very carefully.

I agree with Surrey

If you can get out of the contract get out. Not all properties can be positive vcashflow. However if capital growth is important then buy something that will give you the highest possible capital growth. If you buy a property for $200,000 and one increases by 5% and the other increases by 10% the diffence works out to be…[Read more]

Sigrid and Tony who have written The guide to New Zealand investing have spend a great deal of time and money researching the best structures for Australians investing in New Zealand. I suggest you read the book and talk to them about the stuctures.

Hi Daniel

One bedroom apartments are limited at the best of times. You really only have the investment market to sell to. Personally I do not buy one bedroom flats ok it got a study. If you want an apartment look at a period older style one. The Capital growth will be far better. Or with land running out look at house and land packages.

Sorry

Richard

On the whole I disagree with you. Wrapping will not get you a highh return unless you buy a lot of property, where in Nerw Zealand you will also get strong capital growth

Having said that I am deal with builders in Melbourne who are offering investors a 9% return for three years. The do this via a lease to purcahse agreement. The…[Read more]

If you buy an investment property in main city in Australia and you are looking at a 5-10 year hold you wont lose. Who cares what the market does in the short term. When the markew softens returns increase. So you still win. If we are suggesting that the next boon is say 5 years away, then if you can buy and hold 3 properties you will then…[Read more]

Your right. Unless you are prepared to look at a one horse country town. The best bet if you are looking at positive cashflow is New Zealand. Believe it you can not only get positive cashflow but growth as well. I love property in Australia for growth. But if you need positive cashflow and you would like a separate income steam look at New…[Read more]

It is clear that will variable rates at 9% it does not suprise me that 3-5 year rates are hovering around.7.6-7.8%. It is clear the the NZ reserve bank get carried away with rates. Economists all agree (thats scary in itself) that rates are on the way down

Realestate.com, bell realestate seem to have a lot. Depending on yur budget, anything next to or close to sherbrooke Forest is a safe bet. It is more expensive but the values will hold, stay away from emerald, cookatoo. There nice enough but compared to ferny Creek they are major fire zones. When ash wednesday happened in the 1980s Ferny creek…[Read more]

It also depends on whether your investing or looking to owner occupy. If you are going to live there its a great area. I live in Camberwell. If I was going to move I would go either the ocean or ferny Creek. It and Sassafras are the two best areas in the Dandenongs and because its a little damp its the last place you need to worry about bushfires.…[Read more]

Have you considered New Zealand. You also have great views, but also positive cashflow and high growth in a major city.

I could not agree more the idea of buying close to home so you can drive past touch it is the quickest way for many people to never invest again.

I have spend a far amount of time in Ballarat and Bendigo, they all want to buy locally, I tell them live here buy do not invest, the market has gone

I agree with Michael

There is no one correct way to invest. The market is an ever changing beast. You have to ajust to the market. I am always wary of anyone who states this is the only way

The reason I make money is that negative people talk the market down. If you are investing for the long term who cares what the market does year to year. Over a ten year period you will more than double your money in most major cities in Australia. I live in Camberwell in Melbourne and I have not seen any real sign that quality housing has dropped…[Read more]

Hi Cd

Sorry that is not what I meant. It is important to investy in both countries. If you establish the structures in New Zealand it can be treated as a separate income stream to anything else you own in Australia. If you need to negative gear against your own taxable income in Australia it is more tax effective to do this with an Australian…[Read more]
