In my experience there is no down side to this product although, as a carpenter i still like working with timber. Most steel frames are made from zincalume steel these days rather then galvanised steel. As such the issue of rusting edges…[Read more]

As a member of the building industry and having past direct experience in what you describe I can say that the smoke damage can be rectified for a reasonable cost. Exactly how much would depend on the extent of damage so have a registered painter take a look and give you a price.
Generally what is required is to clean the affected…[Read more]

The concept of never, never sell is still valid never mind what theories there are on any ulterior motives by anyone. You still do your due diligence before purchasing and as long as a doubling of value occurs in a reasonable time (say 10 years) then why would you sell an appreciating asset? Just have it revalued every year or so…[Read more]

If you want to flesh out the concept of never, never sell then check out Derek’s post in this thread and go to the link at the bottom of his post. The Investors Club use this strategy and so do I.

Cabo Wabo,
The Investors Club link may well be what your friend is looking for. It’s worth a look anyway.

I have no direct interest in The…[Read more]

Are you looking to build and sell or hold and rent out?

Never never sell. Borrow against the equity in the place to build a home on it then rent it out. If he doesnt want the bother of tenants then still develop the property and then sell. Will still have CGT to worry about though. Never never sell for mine!! Just sit back and harvest the equity or gear off it for more properties. He…[Read more]

Can an income be found from the land? Is it a rural property which could be leased to a farmer for agistment purposes or some such thing. Fencing off the sensitive areas first of course. Or maybe it could be rented out for storage or a holding area for machinery. There are all sorts of possibilities. This would then take care of the…[Read more]

My suggestion would be to harvest enough money from the equity to live on and pay the expenses – forget the pension!!
A financial institution would jump at the chance to extend an interest only loan I’m sure for say $50,000 per annum for the Octogenerian to live on. Remember that this would equate to an income of $90,000+ because…[Read more]

I appreciate your insightful comments on the forum.
This year has been a big one for us because we finally dipped our toe in the water and have purchased 2 IPs in Brisbane and waiting on contracts for the 3rd in Darwin. Looking for one that suits us in our home town of Perth but haven’t found quite the correct one yet. Rents are a…[Read more]
