Hi,

I’m going to start my property investing quest early next year so I will need to have my trusty team in place. [smiling]

I work for solicitors.. I can try and get you good rates? they are well known.. so I am not sure how cheap they’d be!

My plan was to buy a property with a tenant.. we found one which was 142K with a tenant paying 150 p/w I was not going to use a real estate agent to manage it as a rental property as the tenant, a pensioner, has been there several years and wishes to stay on for good… the only thing, it’s in an area…[Read more]

well we worked out the repayments on a 140k loan would be approx $190 per week.. the rental is $150 so we would only be putting in $40 per week ourselves.. sure there is other things to consider like insurance, rates etc.. but I am sure this property will increase in value?

Thanks for the advice… our property was only worth about 210K when we bought it.. and after tearing ALL walls to put gyprock (ceilings too), adding cornices, new skirtings, doors, paint, polishing floors (which had glue from the carpet!), security screens, downlights, more electrical wiring, opening walls, adding beams, closing doorways,…[Read more]

Hi Romina and Luca

You appear to have a little bit of equity, so, depending you your husband’s income, you may be able to buy another property sooner than you think.
