Although it would be more pallatable if the cost could be realistic. Check this out for value! http://www.success.com/dtl.php?GetProduct=5466&offer=546942

What length lease is with the property?

I thought this forum was full of action takers & opportunists
I havent received even one request yet
Dianne, I also attended a one day event where all the speakers were selling something. Wright thurston III was selling his retreats among other things so they must have at least a little value especially for free.
Anyhow, the…[Read more]

You may find that once approval & plans are drawn up you could sell your property for far in excess of the costs to do so

Before you take out any insurance check the inclusions (and the exclusions) not all insurance is the same. It is a good idea to compare what you are paying for.
I use an insurance broker, tell him what I need and he then hunts for the best deal which may change each year
I’ve just had a thought. if anyone is about to take out insurance…[Read more]

Real estate agents will do this particularly in resort type areas. In Daylesford there are 3 booking agencys that specialise in just holiday & weekend bookings. The Dandenongs near Melbourne also have similar.
This will only work where there is a huge demand for weekend rentals.
It works in seaside areas as well where the high rents compensate…[Read more]

I have loaded an excel spreadsheet in so all one has to do is enter the numbers.
I am pretty sure that there are also programs available. I had one that kept details of purchase price, outgoings, income, inventory etc but it didnt give cashflow analysis.

An alternative to the B&B is a self contained cottage.
We have one in Daylesford (Victoria)and it is managed by an agency. Fees are 15%! however for their money they take all bookings, arrange cleaning, repairs, maintenance and deposit money in our account monthly followed by a report.
It does achieve +ve cashflow but prices around there have…[Read more]

Therfore once demand does catch up these projects will begin again thus ensuring that real capital gain in city apartments will be years away.

Dont always take what an agent tells you at face value. Even though he may sound very nice he may have an ulterior motive. Pass the reasons by the forum and I’m sure they will come up with creative ideas to make the purchase of your property worthwhile. e.g. it may not be a good renter but you may be able to renovate & sell to help…[Read more]

I’m no accountant but if you sold your PPOR to your trust wouldn’t you have to pay stamp duty plus FBT if you decided to sell which ordinarily would be exempt?[?]

These guys have been featured in an expose on 4 Corners recently. They teach you at your (great) expense how to invest in their own developments which they sell to you at a huge discount (after inflating the price by an equal amount and then some).

The game went a long way in helping overcome a number of fears in just getting out there and doing it. Roleplay is a wonderful way of experiencing life in safety.
