I'm going to give him a few more days to contact me as he did finish off saying he would be in touch. So he gets the benefit of the doubt now.

I did a few sums using the Reserve Banks Cash Rate (both when I took out the loan & todays rate) and I came pretty close to their payout figure, so I'm happy it's been calculated correctly.

I was speaking to my bank this morning to payout on a car loan (as my partner and I are buying a home and want to be debt free when we buy it).

Not sure why you can’t find a lender for commercial property. Have you approached a broker to find you a deal?

I live in Perth & have recently bought a commercial property. A broker put together the deal for us. If you would like their contact details let me know. They may be able to…[Read more]

I’m pretty new to all this investing thing – but I will agree that I do think Perth has gone a little mad with the prices of houses and land.

I have seen some great deals though & there are still homes for sale under $250k. One was even under $200k. They are few & far between – but they do exist.

So happy…[Read more]

No it hasn’t started. It’s just something I’ve been looking into. I’ve been looking in the Midland area. And before I bite the bullet I wanted to get as much info & research done as possible.

Cheers!

I know where you’re coming from. I’ve just started my own super fund with my family. I know the super can’t lend money to us because it needs to be at arms length.

I was possibly thinking of setting up a trust account which the super would give money to, to invest in some property (and I would also contribute money to the trust acc to fund…[Read more]

I’m selling my house privately at the moment. I chose to go through Anreps http://www.anreps.com.au. I bought the economy package off them that gives you signage, web listing, all the paperwork needed & a file on how to sell a house privately. It’s worth a look.

I agree with Neo25x5 start off with something small, that doesn’t break the budget. When I bought my first place I looked at places close to amenities (transport, schools, shops etc) for re-sale value.
