    Wraps are not bad, but as I mentioned before you are not a typical wrapee.

    Wraps are designed to suit CF+ properties where rent is higher than a typical mortgage (go figure). And generally traditional finance cannot be obtained. Even with a wrap deal in the area you are describing your repayment is still going to be that sort of figure or there abouts.

    I know they sound really good but you need to have a good understanding of their purpose and their structure before going into one.

    If you are in such a good position, why do you need to be wrapped? The bank is the best place for you to source finance. Wraps are for people that generally have poor credit history or no/low deposit, or other reasons.

    It seems strange that you posted this request! But good luck.

    That price sounds OK, depends on where in Kings Park, you say the M7 is not far but how far as many homes in the area are not far (not far from their back fence!!!!). If your land is 700 plus and the house is modern then maybe the property is worth more. I think your top end is something like $420k.

    Our experience with the area was to buy a ppor and most of the homes where very dated.

    My questions to you are, are you happy with the price. And, if you are selling there why don’t you know the value? You could also try paying for a valuation to determine what it is worth.

    Good luck

    You could try going to look at display homes and stores like freedom that have got great ideas on what is modern and then you can look for a similar item at a price point that works for you.

    I do like the renting furniture idea too.

    Good luck

    I am not an expert BUT! Personally I would look at ways of keeping that particular property because it sounds like a jewel in your crown so to speak. Have a chat with your lender about releasing equity through line of credit facility or the like. You can then still buy more property and keep this great located property.

    Hi Liz

    Thanks for the offer but it was just for people to discuss ways of making money on this type of property, there is so much of it in the area I live and I thought people might like to discuss what people could do with it if they bought some. Otherthan just land banking, which returns nothing until it is sold.

    BTW, you should remove your number from the previous post. There are crack pots out there.

    Cheers

    I get the % of list price now but I don’t see how you use it as your criteria, if your not giving to much away could “please explain”

    Hi Claire

    Welcome to the forum.

    Without exactly answering your question, I think you should spend a lot of time in this and other forums like it before you get started so that when you do buy the risk will not be as high because you will have learnt what to do not just followed the recommendation of a stranger.

    Cheers

    Find a niche to differenciate you from the rest ie: in some regional areas they bring outside teachers and medical staff who are used to higher rents and when compared to the areas average condition a rental property that is very clean with a good basic decor are willing to pay more for the better property. Positioning yourself at the top of the standard rather than the average lets you command a better tenant and rent.

    This rule as mentioned highlights to the user deals that have a 10.4% return, however it is there to “quickly” help you work it out especially if you are infron of an agent or something like that. The ultimate level of return that you are looking fo ris entirely up to you.

    Don’t get caught up on these formulas. It is just a guide.

    Maybe you could contact someone like Rick Otton who is Sydney based and offer your time for free to increase his time leverage and your knowledge. The answer is no if you don’t ask.

    Thanks for the info about adma I will give it ago.

    But I think that is just a small part of the battle and this week everyone reading this thread should post the following message to the Sunrise Team at 7. I just sent it through and if enough people do the same it will get some coverage.

    Go to http://seven.com.au/sunrise/form_contactus
    and paste this message

    Privacy Invasion is not only for celebrities.
    It is time for the Roswall to look into unsolicited marketing in our homes. Calls from India, telecommunications companies at your front door, spam emails it just has to stop. If we want your service advertise it and we will come and find it.

    See how we go, remember folks it takes a lot of voices to be heard these days and not everyone is going to be reading this message to know about adma.

    Cheers

    Be careful relying on depreciation as sometimes you may have to pay that back too!

    The sub forum are actual a great feature as it helps to catagorise the topics being posted enabling people to view discussion in the area of their interest.

    If all topics remained as they once were in only a couple of forums and the traffic of posts remained high then filtering throught the stuff that doesn’t interest you is alot more irritating than jumping in and out of forum rooms.

    You may want to try using the active topics tink on the side bar to enable you to scan all forums at once.

    Cheers
