Daydreamer is right. Oakey is just one of many towns in Qld where bargains are available. The object of the exercise is to clear define in your own mind your investment goals. Whether it be to buy and retain or buy and wrap and after that what your fall back position is. Deals may appear in short supply but I guess like any business it is…[Read more]

Option 2 sounds like the way to go with the 2 children as secondary beneficiaries.

Double check with our Accountant as i am unsure whether you are both employed or self employed or what other write off’s you may have.

Good luck and happy investing.

Hang on before you rush out and buy that first IP.
You don’t mention which area you are in but say it was regional Australia. In Regional Qld you are spending <100K for your first house so the $7K FHOG represents 7% of your purchase price. In addition the exemption or reduced stamp duties could account for another $3K making a saving of…[Read more]

You don’t mention whether you have children so we will assume they are a possibility.

You have 2 main choices:

1) To purchase the properties as Tenants In Common with 99% share in favour your partner and 1% to yourself. This gives you both necessary asset protection as well as tax effective distribution of income.

2) You consider a Trust…[Read more]

+ Cash Flow definately not a thing of the past.
MiniMoguls comments about 10% of properties having a positive cash flow doesn’t suprise me. Thats only 1 in 10. From the deals we look at it would certainly be more than that.
Be positive do you research and if necessary engage an expert to give you a kick start.

You merely need to telephone the relevant local authority. Rates are calculated on the UCV and will vary dependant on the value of the land and the services provided in the Shire. Which area in Qld?

How’s this just gone to Contract on 7 vacant blocks of land inline in regional qld town for $11K each. Have 4 relocatable homes to go straight on them at $30K and $8K on reno per house. Total – $49K. Estimated rent – $155/week.

We have called this one the 7 sec rule because if it takes you any longer to think about it you shouldn’t be in the…[Read more]

Hi rx2

I agree with Rod forget the capital cities especially Brisbane.

2 deals we purchased last week were $45,000 renting at $125 / week and $67,000 renting at $165 / week. Needless to say both in regional Qld and in both cases we are holding a registered valuation well in excess of purchase price. We will rent out and wrap at a later stage to maximise…[Read more]

Guys

I am assuming we are not talking about wrapping merely buy IP’s. Certainly from a Qld perspective there is no Land Tax payable when you wrap.

Is the Land Tax bill in respect of a property you have wrapped? Or is it merely an IP. If so what entity are you holding it in. If you care to email me I can provide you with further details.

I agree with slatzagain. We have been involved in over 120 wraps in Qld and wouldn’t purchase in Crestmead. For half the price you can get capital growth and positive cashflow.
