Has anyone had there tax done online with that etax thing?? I was thinking about it but not sure if its a good idea. What does everyone here think or should i stick to using a tax agent??

My sister lives in nearby Newton and she reckons property prices have gone up quiet a bit. I checked out realestate.com and found prices in Newtown, Prymont and Glebe to be round the 450k+ mark and this fitted in with the API mag figures. Then I did a search and found the reportsdata site info on here and look at there stats and…[Read more]

Im not an RE agent but what do you expect them to tell you differently???

Its pretty simple really….the less “subject to” clauses the more appealing your offer will be. Its not rocket science!!!

Pepper

Unless you tell them what the pics are for your deceiving them!!! Tsk tsk…shame on you!!![biggrin]

Pepper

I reckon this is a “if it sounds to good to be true it usually is” scenario.

I know how you feel though my offer fell through also even though agent reckoned it was a sure thing and that the sellers were desparate for a sale!!!! Guess they werent that desparate after all coz they decided to rent it out instead!!!! Not to worry maybe next time hey???? [biggrin]

Pepper

Not sure I get your point here Rugbyfan but you saying theres nasties in Vic that dont like you sydneysiders???? [worried]

Pepper

Thanx for the post!!!! I wont be subdiving at this stage of property investing but if I ever decide to I’ll refer back to your post which I have copied into my VIP (very important proerty) info file!!! [biggrin]

Pepper

I want one of those!!!!

At last someone has said what Ive been thinking for ages!!

Geez if ppl are worried about interest rates to such an extent then maybe they’ve overcommitted themselves financially!!

I think you ahve to allow for incrases when you first crunch the numbers and if you dont your crazy!!

Gotta say though thats a lot of properties and must take you ages!!

Monopoly I agree with ManicSqush your comment is a reality check and i didnt think it impolite or crossing the line at all. Thanx for sharing it with us it a lesson for sure!!

Its sad to think that these sorts of tenants are still out there and I hope I never get them or those like them in my porporties. Hell not paying the rent’d…[Read more]

Heres the what I said in mine:

The dictionary says velocity means speed, but if so many of you investors here believe in B&H how do you interpret this speed??

I’m assuming it was explained in the seminar which unfortunately was sold out before I could get a…[Read more]

Nah its kewl Yack no-ones responded to my post yet, hope you do better!!

I agree free stuff works for a 1500 dollar fridge or DVD player, but not so sure it’ll offload the 200k unit!! If you make it a 2-for-1 deal I might reconsider!! [biggrin] Oh well guess no harm in…[Read more]

Could someone please clarify the following definitions for me:

Property INVESTOR
PROPERTY investor

Thanx in advance

Id say if you purchased another IP the contract document outlining the price would be evidence enough as would be the paperwork from your solicitior with the…[Read more]

Sounds really crazyto me, why would anyone pay a higher interest rate for the prevlidge of flexibility that really they aren’t able to have?? Coz if they try to they get penalized??

And what about the “double dipping” isnt that going cause…[Read more]

Don’t mean to sound negative but I have to agree with Aceyducy on this note and maybe you may need to reduce the price a bit more!!

As with most things which have “thrown in”s in the picture it always creates an air of supsicion!! Kinda like the steak knives on one of them infommercials!!

Pepper

And I guess anyone who has a LOC this ruling applies to them to??

Sorry if I keep asking silly questions, but it seem strange to me. Why bother with LOCs if you cant access the money as you see fit?? [blink]

Pepper

How long you been trying to sell the apartment?? Maybe you just need to give it a little more time and then you wont need to use any incentives.

I think its worth a shot but in all honesty I dont think it would attract me per se. If i wanted to buy the apartment I’d buy coz I wanted to not coz it came with a holiday or TV.

Pepper

Thanks for bringing this topic up, it makes for good info reading.

I remember seeing Paul Clitharoe (not sure thats spelt right) but I always heard him say that LOCs were ideal coz you had access to money when you needed it for IP purchases and that if you dumped all your money (wages, salary, rental etc) into it (to reduce tax) and…[Read more]

Don’t know if you or anyone else watched TT a few nights ago and coz I only caught the tail end of the segment I missed most of the meaty stuff, but apparantly it was about ebay and the pitfalls of buying stuff online with them.

Maybe soemone else in here could add more about it in greater detail??

Pepper

I have to agree with Aceyducey on this one. Students are not necessarily like most renters but with less money at all, in fact many of them probably have more money than you and me put together and are only over here in this country to get the degree which they would otherwise wouldnt have gotten back in their home…[Read more]

I prefer houses as investments myself but thats not to say I wouldnt buy a unit if the price was right and the location was good. And a healthy mix of both is a good strategy for sure!!!!!

You all made excellent and valid points and I appreciate you taking the time to give me your opinions.

Pepper

I always thought you HAD TO vote wether you wanted to or not!!!! Which isn’t real democratic but guess thats just the way things are. And if you dont vote you have to pay some kind of penality!!!!!

Pepper

I agree with Kay, the banks dont like it if you are too “rent reliant” and need you to earn stable income such as a wage to prove serviciability. Remember rental income is only calculated as something like 70% so if you earn say 100 bucks a week from an investment property the bank views it as you actually earning 70 !!!!

It sounds…[Read more]

Sadly I am still having to work, not that I mind too much I guess as it keeps me honest[biggrin] but I can’t wait for the day when I can tell my boss to taking a flying leap!!!!!

Being a wage-slave sux big time regardless of whether you like your job or not. Its okay to like what you do but working for yourself is what really makes…[Read more]

Your feedback has been awesome!!!!!! [thumbsupanim]

I feel so much more confident now after reading your views that have puckered up enough courage to ring the agent and make a time to see him (with my offer) tomorrow morning.

I’ll be offering between 310-315 mark (a real bargain if accepted) and 14 days settlement. Wish me…[Read more]

Thats awesome, I really like that saying, did you make it up???

Pepper

Don’t know about that, I mean isn’t that really being a bit too cheeky??? Like, 330 is 15k less than their reserve, now to offer 30 less, oh gosh I dunno???

Do you really think its worth a try, and reasonable???

Pepper

Hope I’m not outta line here, but I’m sure I read on Steve’s home page here that most investors don’t buy using emotion, a big no-no or whatever. Is that not the case for most investors of property???

This is interesting to for me, as it’s my first time buyer “directly” without the aid of a buyer and it’s a whole new ball game when…[Read more]
