Hi All, Haven't been here for quite some time as the enthusiasm for property has died. Anyway we are about to sell our last investment propery, settlement was planned for tomorrow and the bank has seriously stuffed us around. They are not ready to settle and the best we can get is a promise to...

Hello, Our tennants are about a month in arrears. I recall a couple of years ago that Geoff W gave a great guide to what to do in such situations. I thought it was so good I went to print it and file it immediately in such a situation arose,. Unforunately my printer stuffed up and I couldn't...

I've got the message, don't sell your properties unless they are dogs. But what is a dog? I have one property which hardly ever needs maintenance and has achieved excellent capital gain. I have another which has achieved good capital gain (what hasn't in the last couple of years). It...

I have a block of land with two houses on it. There is only one electricity supply. The deal was that the tennant in the larger house were to pay 2/3 of the electricity bill and the tennant in the smaller house was to pay 1/3. While in the (long) process of trying to get seperate metering...

Our property manager is having trouble getting an electrician to attend to our property which we need done before we can get a new tennant in. So... does anyone know a good (or even adequate) electrician on the central coast of NSW? Robyne

More Wealth From Residential Properties I just read this book and found it quite useful, although I already knew a lot of the info, I found that a new perspective was put on some issues. My only complaint is the cover. Where is the picture of Jan standing in front of or driving a sports car?:D

Merry Christmas and/or happy holidays to all. Hope you all have a safe and happy day tomorrow. Thanks for all your advice and interesting stories this year. Special thanks to the owners (producers?) and moderators. Robyne

After reading some of Building Wealth Story by Story I began to envy all these people who have managed to go to Jan's seminars and then have a chat to her afterwards. In the book she often gives pearls of wisdom to these people regarding their particular circumstances. I looked on the...

Such a popular item on the forum and yet I still haven't quite got the concept. The main thing I would like to know is how do you get a line of credit. I know some lenders offer lines of credit and promote them when advertising for home loan business but our lender does not offer a line of...

Well our loans are fixed for the time being but they are only fixed for between 2 and 3 years. I suspect we will go back on variable rate when that rate is high, 10%ish or more. Should I worry about this? What can I do?

My hubby and I are celebrating our 7th wedding anniverary on Monday. To celebrate, on Friday, he took me to Bunnings Warehouse. It was very exciting. I discovered this product called ceramolite. It is a type of board which looks and feels like ceramic tiles. I thought it looked...

This may be obvious to others but if anyone has a definitive answer, I would appreciate it. My in-laws are selling their house which they have lived in for about 43 years. My father in law built it with his brother and some friends soon after he got married. So it's a bit sad to sell but...

I am considering doing up the kitchen on one or both ips and I was wondering what wisdom was out there. The plan is to wait until the tennant moves out but have things ready to go when that happens. Both kitchens actually need replacing rather than just a superficial job and may need some...

Does anyone know what the current status of this ferry service is? I heard that Rene Rivkin stated last year that he was certain it would be up and running by July 2003 ie now. Of course Mr Rivkin has just has brain surgery and is waiting to serve his weekend detention in prison so I guess...

I have 2 IPs. For the second IP I used equity from the first for the deposit. If I were to sell (gulp, yes sell) the second property would I be obliged by the ATO to put the amount of the deposit back into the loan for the first property or could I just take the whole lot less capital gains...

Geoff, I will have a look in Personal investor and look out for you. I am mid thirties and blonde and a woman, if you didn't realise from the name. I am very much looking forward to this seminar.:D Why are you in Personal Investor? Are you a guru of some sort? Robyne

Is anyone? I am going on my own as my husband gets to babysit. I thought I might meet up and chat during breaks with like minded people who use this forum. Robyne
