    buying IP with tenant in placed

    jocker 10 - don't take this the wrong way, but stop #@*&%#$ around and buy something. with tenants - without tenants; iether way has pros + cons. don't look for unimportant things to stop you from proceeding. the first one is always the hardest. he who hesitates is lost.

    Investing "out of town"

    I have several ip's where i live and all have gained value. in 1994 i bought in another city, and it still hasn't reached my original purchase price. i think it's best to stick to the area you know the best, if it was worth investing there in the first place, it should continue to be.

    100% finance

    i've never had to take out mortgage insurance. on some of my ips i have borrowed 100% of the price and legal fees,stamp duty etc + renovation costs + 1 full years rent. if you have the collateral, you can borrow 300% without paying rediculas charges.

    100% finance

    if you are buying ip No. 2,3,4, etc. and have reduced the loans sufficiently to give you enough collateral to use the difference as a ( claytons deopsit) you should be able to borrow 100% or even more as i have done. it would have to be a pretty good deal to pay $7,500 - just to get a loan.

    Capital Gains Tax

    this can be done several times, until the ATO gives you a call. i havn't got the guts but know many people that have done it and are still doing it and now are debt free. go for it - you only have money to lose, they can't kill you, says me hiding behind a tree.

    up here in the sticks you just go to the local surveyer and they know all the council requirements and even submit the application to the council. they will tell you if it's possible or not.

    End-of-year bargain deals

    i don't use the lands department values at all, for anything - a complete waste of time.

    End-of-year bargain deals

    in my shire the unimproved value of the land, on the rate notice - has nothing to do with the real value of a vacant block.

    Philby. I didn't know what area your interested in but THIS agent is not in Darwin - and I spelt it wrong anyway. If you want to make a go of things, you have to get into the swing of things - that means research everything.
