Just an idea that I’ve seen work well in Canada…

Where there are two properties on a single title that share a garage… rent it out to the higgest bidding tenant!

Alternatively, if you own all the properties on a multi-dwelling title, grant exclusive use of common area (such as a driveway, backyard, garden etc.) in return for an additional…[Read more]

Let’s move on. [rolleyes]

Hi Henry,

I’m working on book #2 right now.

My publisher is horse whipping me to have it ready for an early October release.

I’ve been very conscious to write a lot of new material, yet presented in the same format as ‘0 to 130’.

Keep an eye out…

$20 bucks at K-Mart? Shesh, what’s the world coming to?

BTW, don’t forget the free bonus…[Read more]

Hi Beck,

This issue is discussed in Chapter 6 of the Wrap Kit. I’m an avocate of the emerging profits basis and from memory there are worked examples to help you understand how to cruch the numbers at tax time.

Cheers,

Hi,

Having a chat room is part of the PI.com business model, but it would not be open for 24 horus – just for special discussion and other designated events.

Prior to this happening we had to sort out our database engine, which is just about complete.

In short – it’s something I’d like too, but there are a few priorities above…[Read more]

Hi Jo,

Sorry to hear about your friend.

I think this raises a wider issue about asset protection and leads to a realisation that sometimes the biggest threat comes internally rather than externally.

It’s certainly hard to reason why a property has fallen 50% in value when there has been a huge boom Australia-wide.

Perhaps the fixtures and…[Read more]

Are we always going to discuss YOU and not what we are here to discuss, that is PROPERTY.

Amen!

Hi,

You can pick it up from the online shop (see options in left hand menu). Be sure to include your discount cose as per the back of the book to buy at a reduced price.

Hi,

I’m a big fan of P & I loans as you repay debt and therefore reduce your exposure to increases in interest rates.

I use I/O on commercial deals where P & I is not feasible to deliver a +ve cashflow outcome.

Shaun,

We are still applying the same model as outlined in 0 to 130.

Buying positive cashflow deals and making money.

Cheers,

Hi,

Points noted. The tape was actually in existence before the book was written, and the potential for duplication is why it is so reasonably priced at $16.20 for book buyers.

In any event, Fast Track 2 is on the way, which will correct this issue.

Cheers,

SIS,

but, there is a benefit, if you dont plan on selling the property ever, best to claim as much depreciation as possible.

Never say ever?

What about funding a replacement asset when the other one wears out… just be mindful of the Ansett lesson and an old fleet.

Still, you’re spot on when you say there is a benefit… but just be aware…[Read more]

Hi,

Just remember that depreciation is tax deferral, not tax saving.

Negative gearing is a useful strategy, but only when the market is appreciating at more than the associated loss.

On a slightly different topic, on last nights MAP conference call, one of the participants as found a property that is $4k p.a. +ve cashflow based on 100%…[Read more]

Hi,

I’m 60:40 in favour of the belief that interest rates will rise by .25 basis points.

Time will tell.

Hi,

Shesh… all i said was:

1. Is it a bit rich to come on a forum which I pay for and declare that you have an illegal copy of a resource that other people have paid for?

That’s not too harsh is it?

To me, this is a simple matter of breach of copyright.

You have a copy of something that, whether you realise it or not, ought not have been…[Read more]

Hi,

If you see the same washing machine at three different stores, are you obliged to go back and buy it from the first store?

I’d suggest that unless you have made a promise, go with the one that gives you the best service.

‘Newbie’ is a thing of the past!

This was one of the reasons for changing the titles.

Hi,

A couple of things:

1. Is it a bit rich to come on a forum which I pay for and declare that you have an illegal copy of a resource that other people have paid for?

2. As for the cost… people have to value the information on offer. If people aren’t willing to pay the $2k to get the education then I doubt the information would be of much…[Read more]
