Top idea lukis p!

Pictures will bring inspiration and help make investing more tangeable for people.

People can visualise the actual propertys that forumites are buying and find new hope that great deals are still being made!

It will probably help people see what sort of quality propertys you can buy in a certain area for what prices too!

Hi Brucemarg,
Thats a great site! Thanks for the info!

Something to keep in mind though, from my limited experience in the states ,is,
these types of websites can give you an idea of estimated values but
what a property is actually worth in the market (if you want to sell)can sometimes be 2 very different things .
They dont always take into…[Read more]

Hi there Sallybrowne,
good on you for going for it!

Sounds like yr doing heaps of research.

Something that i like to do when buying ,is focus on one area at a time (once you find one that shows potential).
This way you can get out there with yr feet on the ground in the area and ask Questions and meet people,make future contacts etc.

Hello Jenny,

Acquiring a bank account in the US wont allow you to instantly get finance through the bank,
(unfortunately!!)
But it is a great start.As after yr account is happenening you can apply for a uS credit card and this helps build a credit score with the bank for borrowing down the track(say 12 months)
Then after a period of time they can…[Read more]

Hello Nick,
These things you have mentioned are a great start!
There is no subsitite for getting on the ground and just asking around.You will soon see if its going to be a goer or not.

I would also try and think big and seek out connections in the bigger companies that may want to rent yr prospective propertys.If you can land a good multi…[Read more]

Hello Alex,
Have you considered Commercial property?
It is actually not as scarey as you may think.
You just need a little more cash to start, as the loan ratio is usually at best 25-30% deposit down

Hey there sweet,

Any book by Dolf De Roos is worth looking at.
He has lived in Australia and New Zealand and was one of the very first Aussies who started investing overseas (Including the USA)
He advises Robert Kiyosaki too!

Sorry Loulou2
I misunderstood you meant steves WealthGaurdian.Im sorry I thought u were talking about the product from Wealth Gaurdian the company.

I actually do have that(steves) and it is Awesome!
I would recomend buying it on the day of the masterclass as steve often offers it cheap.

Hey Lou lou2
I havent got the wealth gaurdian series but from memory they teach to invest for capitol growth

On the other hand most of steves focus (masterclass) is on positive cash flow first,fixing problems in a deal /property and then lastly capitol growth if it comes.

So the wealth gaurdian series will be teaching a whole different…[Read more]

Another thought giddo,

you were saying these units can be strata titled.

If this is true you may be able to make good money from splitting them and selling off individually.
But be shore of it before purchasing .

Check what other similar strata units are selling for in the area

Hey there giddo,
I would say for me this deal sounds like too high a risk for the return.
Unless you are confident of high capitol growth and could get more cashflow from them somehow.
Possibly manage them yrself to holidayers
or
give one unit to someone rent free in exchange for managing the other 5 to holiday makers for premium rents.
I would…[Read more]

Hey Noysee,
these deals are called”subject to” deals in the states.

This is when a vendor wants to get out of the house and mortgage(either due to job transfer or cant keep up the mortgage payments) but doesnt want to get a bad credit rating by letting it go to forclosure. / or it is a Quick and easy way to sell fast without agents etc

So…[Read more]

Commercial is great in heaps of ways ,but a few things to keep in mind:
usually costs a 10% of the annual rent (gross) to find a new tenant(agents fees)
The landlord now has to pay for his own lease expenses(Solicitor etc) (since 7/05)
You have to pay all the outgoings while no tenant(Can be Quite expensive depending on area and value of prop)

Great work Gamay!

It sounds like you are resolving it by being firm but gracious.

Some of these situations in life are an oportunity to show grace to others.
It is nice to hear that not all these situations come about through victim mindsetted people,
some tenants are understanding to us landlords!

All the best

Awesome Doc X. Im speechless

I am finding it delaying to bring up posts too! But seems to be improving.
I think its like anything new,we humans dont always like change.It scares us.

I think also though,
that having the results forum as the first thing that comes up is slowing down the sites traffic as a lot of new computer users can dismiss a “access denied wrong way go…[Read more]
