Thank you everyone for your recommendations and will follow them up. I initially was more than happy with my broker and have given him substantial business over the last 6 years but found that I was always having to follow up on the deals and usually having to sort things out. If I was a...

I thought my mortgage broker knew his stuff too, but he's let me down more than once and I've been left to sort things out again to get settlement happening on time. Momentum Wealth.... what has your experience been like with them and which broker did you use? I appreciate your help.

Can anyone please recommend a finance broker who specialises in property investment and is based in Perth. In the next few months I will be restructuring/refinancing all my loans and I am unhappy with my current broker. Thank you

Fabulous story & information Keith, Thank you for sharing your investment stategies, definitly food for thought for me - in a big way.

Hi Brenda, The older I get the more I dislike heights, maybe your sence of balance changes as you age therefor heights are more of a problem. I went on a tree top walk in a rainforest in Borneo last year and felt very very unhappy up there. I can't imagine going on a sky lift or bungie...

I'm impressed Daz - but where's the garden!!! Thanks for sharing your new property aspirations and hope all goes well with the negotiation challenges. Lesley

Thanks Daz on your generous offer I'll PM you shortly. I've read many of your recent posts and appreciate you have a great deal of knowledge in many areas of investing. Thanks for you interest Mark!

Hi Mark, I am aware of the different roles each professional plays and use a broker and accountant accordingly, but so far have stayed away from FP. A property savvy planner might be a good start though and I'm aware that many property investors on this forum advocate other asset classes as...

Mark - why would it be a bad move if I'm just after advise - someone to see the whole picture not just one aspect? I've done well with Jan's teachings and need help with the next stage. Twitch - this is what I've done solely in the past - used my own judgement and that has worked very well...

At this stage of my investing I would find it very beneficial to meet with a property/financial advisor. Someone who could look at my overall IP porfolio, loans etc and advise me on future strategies. An accountant, broker, successful property investor/advisor roled into one! I'd really...

Hey topcropper - I've still got images of my ex running around stark naked at 3.00am on a very wet night, trying to catch guinea pigs that had escaped when our dogs had managed to ply the top of their enclosure off. Guinea pigs make the best children's pets - that is if you can keep them...

Hi Mcbrain, I ment both equity and time. As your're only supplementing part of your shortfall, through increased equity, and all else is in place I don't see much of a problem (I miss interpreted your post a little). After I bought my first few ips I certainly had to start being more...

As stated by Rixter IMHO I feel this strategy suits a more established portfolio. If you use the equity to support holding cost at such an early stage you will jeopardise any future investing - as you know it is available equity that enables future ip purchases. Are you planning to give up...

Thanks for the advise Xenia, though I generally don't fill reps in on anything they don't need to know. I had an offer accepted on another property listed with another agency which is why I didn't go ahead with her one. Lesley

Thanks for your comments wllair and I promise I'll not call you any names! Yes I think a few agents are crashing & burning around parts of Perth at the very moment.
