Phillip,

Doing pretty much the same as you regarding loans..

My wife just uses Excel to record all statements etc regarding the properties when said statements arrive. We pay the rates etc ourselves rather than the PM, as this benefits us with the points on CC and we pay in total and on time to get the discounts on rates etc.. have found PM’s…[Read more]

Thanks Peter,

We all have to have some means of measuring our progress, as R.Kiyosaki say’s “you have to- Mind Your Own Business”, it doesn’t matter what you do as your day to day job, if you are in the ‘business’ of purchasing IP’s, you need to be aware of your financial position at all times.

I’m guilty at times of putting statements to one…[Read more]

My personal thought’s for 2004:

Expect some good growth for some of Australia’s larger companies, they will of course be hampered by our rising dollar.

Shares will be the ‘Darling’ of the year, this is starting to happen already ( remember the old Coloured wheel with property/shares etc the wheels turning)

Superannuation will start to make…[Read more]

How about serviced Units, with you as the caretaker/manger.. which i see in the ‘serviced units’ game as being far better than an investor in the units ( caretaker/manager seems to be in a win / win situation )

Bourbon,

Don’t forget with -geared properties there is ‘usually’ more capital growth associated with such, whether to get rid of it or not would depend on her financial and tax situation, don’t forget she can use the ‘Equity mate’ in the – geared IP to further purchase +IP’s the better the + gearing the better for you, especially if…[Read more]

As i understand it the ‘main’ downfall is that you never own the land the property sits on, so you pay for it up untill the day you die/sell.

The owners can periodiacally increase rent of the land and it’s expensive to relocate the house, having said that you may find somewhere you can purchase thge land component, remember- land appreciates,…[Read more]
