Cash 3. Property. Everything else comes under those headings. The money only ever moves around those three things. Its a controlled environment and dont think its the natural forces that decide which way things go. They guys at the top move money around and hence move…[Read more]

Sure you can do the renovate route but what if he's not up to that personally, not everyone is good with a hammer! Buying and holding cheaper IP's is far less risky and if holding and using equity no agents fees. Horses for courses.

So just the price you paid or are intending to pay regardless of stamp duty etc. What state are you buying in?

Great Prop Manager you had there! No wonder your changing. You probably need to read your agency agreement that YOU had with your exisitng PM first (not the tenant lease). Sometimes agents will put a clause in there that says they have up to 90 days to hand over a file once you say you want to change property managers. This really just makes…[Read more]

In todays market anything under 5% doesn't really cut it for me and beware the rental guarantee!! I.e. If its such a good area and property wy does the rent need to be subsidized?? Dont think your not paying for that in the…[Read more]
