I went to an open house today. Reasonably good condition property and price. The catch is the property has an outside toilet - distance approx. 6m from the back door and you have to go down the stairs at the back of the house and there is no path to the toilet. The property is on septic...

Looking to refi to release equity for new IP purchase (long term a few IP purchases) Why is it better to refi all properties and release all available equity for investment purposes at the one time? Meaning change of lender, higher rates, lower vals than current bank has BUT more flexibility...

I thought some of you strong / tough minded people may be able to share how you 'get over' things. A friend of mine had a high risk pregnancy. She had a meeting with the boss to discuss when she would finish work. Her boss suggested that if financially they could cope that she leave asap and...

We are starting our property investing journey a new. We have the end goal and a plan. Honestly - my belief in our ability to reach the end game fluctuates. Most days or 95% of the time I believe we can do it. I am inspired and motivated and optimistic. Then there is the other days...

We are just about to finish renovating our IP. It certainly has been a rollercoaster ride. We are leaning towards selling it. To be honest the reasons for selling are partly emotional in that we would be glad to see the back of the place ... and if we rent it we dread the thought of someone...

Hi I understand that I can use the equity in my PPOR to enable me to buy IPs. But I do not understand the how - in terms of loans and structuring. For discussion just say I have 400k in equity to use for IPs. I want to buy 5 x 300k properties (just a simplified example) I would use 80k...

I am renovating an IP that will be finished in realistically 8 weeks time. It has been an ongoing project for the last 12mths - in hindsight lots that I could have done differently. The situation is I don't know whether to sell it or rent it out. And some of you will say it depends on my...

I have never bought flats before. The property I am looking at has 3 under the same roofline. They are being sold as one lot. The section 32 includes the title but it looks the same as normal unsubdivided block. There is further info included from land.vic.gov.au which identifies each...
