What’s in it for the investor? If they are to invest $250,000 and then recieve $250,000 back in 3 years, it doesn’t seem like a very enticing investment. It is more of a burden really where they are actually losing money over the 3 year period.

From what I have heard, you should be looking for 30% and up when developing otherwise banks don’t tend too keen.

I haven’t developed anything myself yet but looking for the highest possible outcome would be my goal, so aiming for a 100% and more profit would be ideal. LOL.

But different horses for different courses and if you feel that the 20%…[Read more]

Thanks for those who have responded and added their 2 bobs worth, greatly appreciated.

Now kiddies, if we turn to page number: https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic/18968.html

The question asked is exaclty the type of service I am looking to develop for first time property buyers and sellers, both for investment and PPOR purposes.

Yes, it is suggested that due to our ageing population, dementia is expected to increase 65% by the year 2016.

I understand this would be a residential care facility. Where full-time professional nursing care is available, something like an aged care facility?

Hey Steve,

I think a section on syndicates and alternative investment options like gross realisation would be of benifit.

Within 12 months for a minimum of 6 months, that’s in NSW.

I don’t understand how someone may lose their FHOG if they purchase one or many investment properties, since the FHOG is designed for a PPOR.

Investors pursue different investment avenues for their particular circumstances and thus I can’t see why someone investing in residentual…[Read more]

I was just browsing the ATO website and came across a few interesting topics:

http://www.ato.gov.au/corporate/pathway.asp?pc=001/002/013/005/002&mnu=45&mfp=001/001&cy=1

It is a page for ‘Deduction Essentials’ and there is quiet a lot to read. But from what I have read, it depends on what the books/seminars/courses cover. Aslong as the content…[Read more]

Canterbury (Sydney) NSW.

Just a few pages here aye.

From what I understand, you may purchase as many investment properties as you like and it won’t affect your first home owners grant. Then when you are ready to purchase a PPOR, you may apply for your FHOG without any hassles.

Thanks. I am confused about the FHOG. I thought one of the requirements was you had to intend to occupy the property within the first 12 months. (difficult to say this if buying a property interstate). is there something i am missing about how the FHOG works ?

Thanks Roy. Do you have any tips of good areas to invest in with good rental returns (assume the house/land package you mention is in Brisbane) ? And/or any good resources to get this info ?

Ok that makes sense. What about expenses solely incurred for investment before your first investment? As in for preparation?

I know that travel to the property and phone calls made to agents don’t count. Is this right? What about books to first get you educated before buying your first investment, or internet usage for research purposes? What’s…[Read more]

Not yet and won’t for my first property either, basically because my personal situation doesn’t need for one as of yet. But will do in the future once I structure myself and my finances appropriately.

And as for the type of trust, well I plan to use a ‘$1’ company as trustee but am not sure of what type of trust I will use. I’ll work on that when…[Read more]

Thanks man. Been reading that one aswell. Interesting.

Similar to your other post but once again a valid point. I guess this is venturing away from the ‘informative’ side of things though.

There are deals always on the books it just a matter of raising capital, what better way than a syndicate? Well it’s one valid and effective way, and one that might opens up opportunities to invest in projects…[Read more]

That’s hectic. Youd have to start somewhere though and eventually get to that stage where you do have a lump amount of cash.

I think you’ve got a great idea as we are here to learn, inform and basically just look out for each other. This would just take it to another level where we could feed off each other.
