    Hi,

    Yeah, not sure what happened there for a while. Did a quick server reboot and hey preston… we’re back up!

    Yes, we’ll end there end time by 2 hours to compensate.

    Most odd… it must be raining in space again.

    Cheers,

    Steve McKnight

    Hi,

    Yes, you would be entitled to rent at the previous arrangement, however establishing what that arrangement was may prove tricky.

    Also, without a condition report who’s to say what condition the property was in when the tenant moved in.

    May be better to offer a cash incentive (or perhaps offering a discount on the rent owing??) for moving out in exchange for gettin gthe house back in a tidy condition.

    Yes – you could up and down trying to enforce your legal rights, but my experience is that this does very little to work towards a speedy outcome.

    Cheers,

    Steve McKnight

    Heck – $330 value for $30? Bargain!

    Let’s say that the winner will be the highest closing bid at a time I’ve written down (to remain secret) which will occur at some point within the next 24 hours.

    Don’t hold back now, this is for a good cause…

    OK – so now we have a charity auction happening for a signed copy of book #2 when it comes out – heck, I’ll also throw in a new product that is about to be released soon too (worth $300) (secret squirrel). Let’s give the proceeds to the Smith Family.

    Roll up, roll up… what’s my opening bid?

    OK – I’ve just checked with the appeals board and someone with a wierd accent said “I’ll be back” if I don’t award two prizes.

    So…. 2 books then…

    One for Wrap Attack (the first person with the wrong correct answer) and the other for my accounting buddy Aussiemike (the first person with the correct incorrect) [weird].

    Congrats.

    Don’t let me forget now.

    Cheers,

    Steve McKnight

    Sorry Mel… nice try, but no cigar.

    Sadly, the judges decision on this matter is final – however appeals will be heard by the United Confederate of Past Mr & Ms Universe winners. [evo]

    so…. aside from a little bit of afternoon fun, the moral of the story is that capital appreciation must be over:

    1. Purchase costs;
    2. Holding costs;
    3. Any negative cashflow; and
    4. Inflation

    in order to provide a genuine profit.

    (Apologies again about the slight mix up with the sales costs, the original question should have read 2.5% rather than 2.25%… [blush])

    Cheers,

    Steve McKnight

    BINGO!!!

    (and D’oh! The sale costs should have been 2.5% rather than 2.25%… sorry [dazed])

    Congrats!

    Please send brent an email so he can send you out a book when it’s ready.

    Stay tuned for the next quiz coming soon…

    Guys…

    Try to work out a solution that gives one of the answers specified. I’m after the pre-tax capital gain.

    If you can nut it out then include your workings in the answer.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    Let’s bring this thread back to it’s basics.

    Jo, you ask about 8% yields. I think that properties offering this sort of return are like red cars… once you start looking for them they are all over the place [smiling]

    I think that’s way Kay Henry was trying to say… they are out there but it’s a matter of looking rather than being led to a particular area.

    Having said that, Richmond has listed out some areas where such deals may be more commonplace than other but there will be houses there that offer all sorts of yields.

    As for the issue re: moderators asking questions – what’s wrong with this? They’re here to lend a helping hand and don’t hold out to be investing experts.

    Cheers,

    Steve McKnight

    On the other side though, what does it mean for already established blocks?

    Surely supply v. demand must force those prices higher!

    Interesting… great post aussierogue!

    I have just revoked Pisces membership after receiving an abusive personal message.

    I agree that it is time for a change. If you come across abusive posts then let me know (send to [email protected]) and I’ll take swift action.

    It doesn’t matter who it is, there is now a zero tolerance policy.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Sorry, I’ve been very busy writing book #2, which includes a detailed look into the MAP process… much, much more than I could write here.

    Yes, it seems that those outside of the program may have been unsure about the goal – but it always was to control $1m worth of r/e in 12 months. The idea was not so much to gain equity, but rather a source of income from the property.

    A quick snap shot though – 21 people started. 8 have left for a mixture of personal and other reasons (such as personality conflicts, thinking the program was something else than it really was, etc.)

    Of those remaining I expect that 11 of the 13 will surpass the goal – currently 9 of the 13 have.

    A quick financial snapshot of the result (from memory)…

    $11m of property acquired.
    $3m of equity / profit made
    $770k of gross income

    Comparing the income figure to property acquired is a little misleading as some participants wanted equity above cashflow which thrown the numbers out.

    I’ll provide more info once the program ends.

    And no… I don’t plan to run it again at this stage.

    Bye,

    Steve McKnight
