    403 parramatta road leichhardt

    Id say you will need 70 % , also allow for stamp duty and legals , one idea is to get the deal done then strata the building into two lots- also check if you are able to build or develop in back yard if there is one. Ive got approval to build a two story apartment in the back of my building in...

    Commercial Valuations

    You can lodge a dispute via the bank - the valuer should have inspected it himself and I think now they are not even allowed to use photos etc that they have not taken themselves onsite. I recently disputed a val done by the nab ( they always give me a copy when i ask for it) they said that...

    Commercial Webinar wednesday night 6th feb

    I probably answered this in my other post- it is the right thing to do is to always look at the worst case to see if you can handle that ie a vacancy - your numbers below are common to that price range and a lot easyier to handle should you have a vacancy. I do like the saying "little fish are...

    Commercial Webinar wednesday night 6th feb

    HI , yes good point , the high outgoings are due to size of the building. The guy who bought that one took a lot of time to weigh it all up and felt he was ok with taking on that risk. He also considered other uses for the shops should one or both become vacant ie cafe etc. You do really need to...

    ouch ! :) sorry have been away from the office for a bit, I'm answering all now. I do think I take a fair view of investment- there always is risk and this has to be balanced up with the returns etc. Ie if you are getting a higher return , you should consider putting something aside for a...

    Commercial Webinar wednesday night 6th feb

    Hi Essentially all outgoings are paid by the tenant- but how they get paid depend on the lease. In the example i used in the webinar the current leases in place are set up that the outgoings are built into the rent ie out of the total rent of 78k there are 39k of outgoings to be paid- in that...
