It is in a good location and due to its location is ideal for tenants as they can walk to shopping centre and all major town amenities. The gutters definetlly need replacing at a cost of $4500(the rest is replacing the roof costs) and nobody in town will touch the job without replacing the…[Read more]

having come from a very similiar situation myself I can relate to your situation. My best advise would be to be patient and just get rid of the personal loan straight away. Then focus all efforts on 1 credit card at a time and get rid of it asap. Once both are gone you firstly can stress less but then focus on getting some cash money in…[Read more]

whilst I have improved out of sight with my money management skills from a few years ago, I am no expert and just want to be sure I am getting the most bang for my buck. I guess the best lessons are learnt by doing so I will continue with what I am doing as so far it is working nicely for us and we will just adapt the process as we move forward.

I am in Emerald in sunny QLD. I consider myself to have a healthy appetite for risk, my wife on the other hand may need some convincing but she is starting to come around….As far S time goes I am only 35 so I figure I have some time on my side….

Yes I do want to invest in property and I have IP. My strategy to this point has been to rennovate to hold in my local area and would like to mix this up with buying new interstate.

I was only doing it for the value adding proposition. I'm lucky enough that my employer gives me $16k per year to do improvements to  my PPOR and I was thinking of moving back into it and doing the work and renting out my current PPOR

Yes I do agree that putting all eggs in one basket is bad, but starting out I wanted a market I knew well and was confident about investing in. I do want to invest elsewhere, yet I have stalled as to how to set up my portfolio. I do have my eye on a couple of other areas in QLD and interstate, but yet to take the plunge.
