A great article, I can’t wait to get my copy of API July.

Hmm…another thing I can’t wait for is to see my accountant for my annual tax pilgrimage and try and work myself out of a dilemma I’ve got myself into.

They were recommended to me by a friend and made my first IP purchase (even more easier) as I was an interstate buyer.

Like yourself, 18 months ago I ventured into the foray of property investment and bought in FNQ. It settled on Dec 14th (first mistake) and sat vacant till Feb 12th (second mistake).
I’ve had it tenanted since Feb 05 and have had NO dramas with the manager, lender or tenants. It’s a great feeling and as soon as you get one you want…[Read more]

Naturally there are only about 4 or so I’d consider buying due to current price and condition.
Sit on the banknotes (not literally) for 1 year, then sell them for a very tidy TAX FREE profit…………..
Now I’ve got my original million back….with approx 60k extra to spend.

Without knowing your financial situation, here’s some advice from someone who used to live in Blackett just over 5 years ago…

Houses back then (and for the majority of our interstate readers I’ll clarify) were mostly housing commission with a small minority who were owners. We lived in a rental on a main road and were offered the…[Read more]
