Just thought I would pass on a website that I have started using (last couple of months) with great success. Because I live close to my investment property I thought that I would try my hand at self managing so that I can save a few dollars on the realestate fees.

After a bit of searching I found http://www.shortcuthome.com.au – I have found it…[Read more]

I am considering renting out a property privately and have come across the following website – http://www.shortcuthome.com.au – they seem pretty good and they seem to have a lot of support and tools available – but I am still just a bit uncertain.

Has anyone used this site or one similar?

Do you have any feedback on the success?

Thanks!

Jessie

Sadly I have a property that is negatively geared….however, through several big mistakes on my part…..ie. buying in regional victoria, buying using a line of credit for the deposit, letting it run negatively geared for several years so that what I owe on it is more than what it is worth, buying a house that has some reasonable structural…[Read more]

we are just going through the process of setting up a SMSF. I was interested for the same reasons as you – I am learning all this stuff about investing and therefore frustrated that I can't invest my own money the way I want to.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can get a bit more creative with your super money rather than just buying a…[Read more]

You could share the profits – so you wouldn't make as much, but at least you would be getting into a property that you couldn't otherwise afford and it reduces your risk.

It is a growing town with diverse industry around it – both mining and farming. I must admit the drive out there is a pain (4hrs each way). But $200k will go a fair way out there.

I paid $178k including furniture and I rent it out as a corporate rental as it is right next door to the hospital – $350 a week! There is a fair amount of growth in Horsham so I am confident that there will be some capital growth aswell – but in the mean time I am not out of pocket!

Agents tend to expect 5% these days – lots of people ask for 5%. I have found that they would prefer 5% than a deposit bond – not many agents like deposit bonds as they aren't a guarantee.

I inspected a property on the weekend – there were heavy metal band posters all over the walls, dirty dishes piled up on the sink, it wreaked of cigarette smoke and there were no beds – just matresses on the floor – not an environment for high sale prices!
