I don’t think you will get a better answer than what these two guy’s have said, I couldn’t agree more with reading Rich dad poor dad. This book will get you in the right frame of mind of how to look at money other than what you have probably been taught all your life and also how I would say 90% of the population look at it.

Cheers

I am no expert but I am going through the same thing at the moment (W.A). As far as I can find out there is no legal way around it but you can minimise it by keeping the value (on paper) of the property as low as possible. I guess you have to remember that you should have only paid half in the first place because your partner (JV) should have…[Read more]

Oh yes I seem to remember you talking about a venture similar to that a couple of months ago before you bought the block. Well it seems that you have gotten onto a good thing and is working out well (financially) for you.

That is an excellent post you are thinking and talking like a true investor not someone who has jumped on the band wagon at the peak of a cycle. The most important part of any investment strategy in my opinion is buy low and sell high.

Hope you had a good holiday and are well rested.

That is an interesting point about rental return for W.A, I think this would be the case if you bought now, the ROI would be rather low. If you had bought before the boom though I think you would be enjoying low vacancy rates and high demand for rentals now.

You make a valid point, If you were stuck in a corner and had run out of funds this would be a fair sacrifice to make to free up some cash to grow.

Interesting times here in WA.

Either way, an interest rate hike is a positive thing for WA, in that it should calm some of the “irrational exuberance” found in our local real estate market, although we will probably need another 0.5% for the speculative buyers to really get the message.
