We bought a 4 bedroom house in Brisbane because our son is going to uni there and we live 4 hours away. We rent out three of the bedrooms to other kids who went to the same high school and are either at uni or working – so we can give him reduced rent plus the security of not having to move or be responsible for a lease. It works really well…[Read more]

You can pick up a passport application and work your way through it. You need to have EXACTLY what they say including if your a married woman with a different name to your birth certificate a full…[Read more]

I have found that when I have earned extra money my expenses tended to go up – a bit more take away – more petrol etc etc.

Good luck with finding a creative way to make more money

I’ve just appointed a property manager in Bundaberg. I rang 8 agents and asked them the same questions, what they offer, etc and then I asked them to send me info. I chose the one who was most suitable. One of the main questions I asked was how many properties they manage and how many staff do they have to manage. If they have too many…[Read more]

I can sympathise with those who are trying to do the investing in partnership that is one sided in that area. I don’t know how you get the other person as interested as you – but for me I come back to why are you investing in the first place. People talk about financial freedom and not having to work but then what are you going to do -…[Read more]

I had friends renting in Moree – there are definite areas of town to live in. I myself drove through Moree approx three weeks ago and felt quite unsafe just driving through some areas – even stopped at Maccas and was a tad nervous. I don’t think I would invest my money there, having said that the people able to afford high rent wouldn’t live…[Read more]

The house is in Bundaberg Queensland – so I might have to find a cabinet maker there

Actually I was asking why dmichie hadn’t answered Robert’s questions about being involved in property investing forums.

Sorry for the confusion

My point was to show that with all the facts and figures being spruiked by dmichie, your questions didn’t get answered and I was wondering the same thing – why would you “hang around” a property investing forum if your so negative about property investment?

dmichie,

A few questions…

Why are you in a property investng forum if you are so against property investors?

Are you jealous because you cannot afford to buy any property or do not have the knowledge to find a way?

I’m interested to hear your long-winded, statistically-enhanced answers to these…[Read more]

I have spoken to my bank and they said I would need a 40% deposit. I’m going to have to come up with a creative way of getting that as I only have enough for 20%. There is also a house included in the sale on a separate title so hoping to be able to on sell it maybe and have a longer settlement time to enable me to do…[Read more]

The rent is increased by CPI each year with review after 5 years. Still not sure about outgoings but am in the process of finding out. As I would technically own all the fittings furniture etc I should be responsible for the maintenance, but would prefer this to be the tenants responsibility.

I’m also not sure who is…[Read more]
