Working out interest payments and stuff would be where it gets murky – I'm going with the assumption that this guy doesn't want to be overly complicated with trying to work out figures, so if I can either do that for him or there's a third party company that is set up to facilitate the vendor relationship then that would be…

I found some amazing properties while living there – for 20,000 pounds you could buy a place that was returning about 80 pounds a week in north England. Not only that but the tenant pays the land tax and water rates.

The rental return (see my first post) is $145 per week. Based on a 20% deposit, this property breaks even, and this is the ASKING price. No I’m not selling this property, it was merely one that I saw in an agents window while travelling and thought that others may be interested even if I’m not in the position to purchase at this…[Read more]

It only takes one shoot out to give an area a bad name, but on the same note there was a murder in a park near where I used to live in Killara – a very up-market North Shore suburb of Sydney. It can happen anywhere really. When you’re comparing it to slums in LA, there’s no…[Read more]

This is a way of working around the problem – although having to put a search word (I have put in a vowel in the search field in order to bypass the error message if I fail to put in a search word) is not the ideal. On other forum sites I can either opt to receive an email when a post has been replied to or I can click on a button to…[Read more]

I’m living in Sydney as well and, although this is totally my viewpoint only, prices in Sydney are not going to be doing any major improving price wise… esp with the interest rate hike. Are you in the investing world? In Steve’s book he mentions that he would have preferred to continue renting rather than owning while he was investing.…[Read more]

Supposedly banks have a rule that you have to be working full-time in your current job for 3 months, or if its casual for 1 year. We were recently approved finance with my wife on the contract who has been working on a casual basis for 8 months.

Hey Phil

Just a thought! How about buying the positively geared property and spend a few grand on maintenance before you head overseas, and make some money $$$. Add extra payments from job in the UK and you’ll be streets ahead of that silly old negatively (-) gear ip.

You know what to do!

PS Think positive! It works for me!! $$$

I initially didn’t think you could, but a quick conversation with my accountant told me that you can offset your negative losses against your future earnings [8D]!
