    Simon AKA mortgagehunter

    weekly rent x 52 divided by purchase price x 100.

    ie $200 x 52 divided by $180 000 x 100 = 5.77%.

    So this can be used to work out the yield on current IP’s ?

    i.e

    $145 (weekly rent) X 52 = $7540

    divided by $80 000 (amount owing on loan- not value)0.09425

    X 100 = 9.425% Yield

    Is this correct also ..??

    WA and ‘other’ state’s taxes on buying a property are now ‘higher’ than the $7000k Federal Government grant for First Home Owners..

    A friend of mine has a property in Bassendean,WA.It’s a big long block which has 3 home on it,my friend,her mum and one at the rear which they both own.The mum wants to sell her share,so it’s up for $220,000.My friend dosen’t want to sell for at least 3-4yrs.I was thinking if I used $55,000 equity from my home and have a 1/4 share in the property

    Finding it hard to follow this..?

    Is it..

    1 block ( with the three properties and seperate titles?)

    You are looking at purchasing the mothers half share in the 3rd house ?
    for 220K ?
    Or buy the Mum’s house(house1) and her share in the 3rd house(house3) ?

    Where do you get the 1/4 share ??

    I’d say get in touch with Simon- mortgagehunter and give him all the figures and details, the selling later issue also needs to be addressed, you may not want to sell later but your friends may, think of any financial issues then also.

    Going into property with friends can sometimes become an issue, you definetly want to get mortgage and legal advice for this deal if you’re considering it.

    Ellenbrook has a lot going for it in the future also.so i’d expect reasonable capital growth there.

    Every now and again i suffer from Hayfever from the Pine tree flowers, and i sympathize with you, didn’t realise you could get ‘desensetized’ either ! check it out..

    Hi Spider..

    What’s your position after the initial 12 months is up ?

    If you eventually look to retire in Sydney, then why ‘not’ use the time available ( Aug 04) to find something that you like, if the property markets in Sydney are experiencing a downturn/correction as we read, then you must be in a better position to negotiate a purchase.

    As S.I.S says why not do both.. purchase your CGT free PPOR and utilise the equity in your rentals and ‘hopefully’ your PPOR to fund + Geared deals, as you say, you will retire here… if so, then think about the why’s, where’s and when’s regarding your eventual retirement..’plan now’.

    My view only.. of course[:)]

    Comsol,

    just logged on, but if you check the posts over last 2 weeks davidfemia mentioned a perth accountant he has used, and someone else mentioned Margaret lomas’s company edestiny in willeton i think.. you’d have to do a search through the “trust” posts

    Cheers

    All the best for 2004

    I’m using 100k fixed and at the moment approx 60k variable on PPOR.

    However Fixed the interest back in April on IP’s and paying IO for 5 years, as Simon aka Mortgagehunter say’s the interest is 100% tax deductible, the repayments are less ( freeing up my cash- handy as more can go on the nondeductible PPOR) the tenant, myself and the taxman pay for the property.

    We thought rates would rise and our best option was to fix the rate, as an investor IO was also the better deal for our situation.We didn’t want to reduce the Principle ( no deductions)at this stage.

    Also say for eg.. i have 100k ( and 100k equity)fixed for 5 years at IO, hopefully at the end of the 5 years the property has appreciated in value over this time frame.

    Whatever you do depends on your personal financial situation and strategy.. keep on posting as there’s a wealth of knowledge available from people such as Simon on this site

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

    “pearling boats”.. worked as a pearl diver, from Broome and the 80 mile beach up through to Darwin and out..

    Re-fits on the boat in Fremantle (WA), so whilst steaming around the place, had time to read, “Noels” books being my introduction to investing, compound interest, and in his “To Read list” that gem “The Richest Man in Babylon”

    My father worked as an Engineer on the Pearling boats up to Papua New Guinea in the old days and his Father as a “mechanic” on the old luggers.

    Now in Perth, working above the water ( much drier)

    That’s the thing isn’t it..

    I read a story about how Henry Kaye put a private detective agency on to him – followed him for months and dug back 30 years into his past – right back to his school days. They didn’t find a thing to pin on him.

    How many of us would come up clean if someone dug into our past or followed us around for a few months.

    ” I plead the fifth your honor” [}:)]

    Once you’re in the public spotlight you’re ‘fair game’ for all, the media, your opposition and your industry..

    Jenman’s put himself in a tough spot, especially being so critical of the industries ‘dodgy’ practices.. good on him..

    we’re a ‘more educated’ public Hmmm hang on , how about “henry”, oh well as Noel Whittaker put it, “if it looks to good to be true..”

    I Believe “john Roberts” of Multiplex is developing his site near the vines, approx 450 house sites.

    Another developer not too far away is also planning [;)] And Ellenbrook is still forging ahead.. supposedly ‘Myers’ still on the horizon to be located there, along with new North West highway, train line etc.. all on the plan

    Ray White i also believe have some ‘large’ plans for a site that they have North of Joondalup.

    It’s always interesting to see what the ‘big’ money is doing.[8D]

    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A POSITIVE NEW YEAR

    “SMTM”

    I read Noels books “Making Money Made Simple” and “More Money” many many years back when i was working on the boats up North (WA) helped me get into an investors frame of mind, over time i bought updated versions and even gave his “Retirement” book to my Father and Father in law when they notified me of thier intentions to retire.

    Found Noels books ‘easy to read’ and very commonsense, his approach to managed funds and dollar cost averaging probally works well in the long run, but i’m still upset about my “super” ( funny name for something thats not) fund losing money, i too prefer to loose it myself then there’s only me to blame..

    As someone in this forum pointed out Noel was well before R.Kiyosaki and even helped instigate the Fortnightly/weekly repayements with banks, from the Bad old days of monthly payments ( you get 4 more payments in for a weekly cycle )
    Three cheers for Noel[^]

    MERRY X-MAS

    Good to see “Steve” popping up on the site again : )

    TerryW

    The six year rule is that you can move out of your PPOR and rent it out and if you sell within 6 years of last living in it, and if you have no other PPOR, then it will be CGT free.

    This may sound ‘silly’ but if you move out and you have no other PPOR ‘where’ are you living [?]

    SHOWMETHEMONEY $ AND RYANMEL

    How do you find this system ?

    Preferable to waiting untill the end of the financial year and recieving it as a ‘lump sum’ ?

    With the LOC mortgage i have on my PPOR it may be more benificial to recieve the extra ca$h in my paycheck each fortnight, saving me $ over the course of the year by having more ca$h in the account, reducing interest each day.
