Wow! Thanks Redwing good informative post.. sorta indicates that there are a lot of viewpoints out there in the government circles!!

Bracket creep has meant that more folks are on the top tax rate than ever before – making it more attractive to -ve gear..

I -ve geared my first 3 properties (well.. after tax they gave me money.. but I needed…[Read more]

DHA houses have good long term security of tenancy, however thay are (in my opinion) overpriced for what they are… you need to do the figures on the deals… but most DHA are strongly negatively geared… so it depends what you want, cash flow or secure leases.

If you are a first time investor who pays lots of tax and wants a secure rental…[Read more]

I know that Prime Property have info nights/seminars, as does Wize Investments.

Melbear is correct, info mine the Wise Investment and Investors club seminars, especially the Wise ones they are GREAT[^].

Bought em for $150k to $160k and they are now worth $230k to $250k[] (one only after 1…[Read more]

Morgagehunter has it right, I had these folks (S&P)come to my place and tell me basically to do what I was already doing, and they would come visit me every so often to make sure I was “keeping up the program” etc. I told them that I was already doing what they suggested, and could not see why they should charge the fee they were asking……[Read more]
