Hey Nick, Appreciate your help. Many thanks, Taku

Hi Kennyboi, I used Certus for my IP purchase in October last year. They were great and will continue to use them. My main point of contact was Andrew. Cheers, Taku

Hi Terry_w, Thanks for the feedback. Cheers, Taku

Great. Thanks DaveM. Cheers, Taku

I purchased my first IP late last year so this will be my first time getting a depreciation schedule carried out. Within how many days of the depreciation schedule being completed do I have to do my taxes? Cheers, Taku

I have an interest only loan with Westpac at 80%. In this new lending environment, what's the max that I would be able to extract? I have a small amount of savings but would be looking to dip into my initial 20% deposit I put in so I can purchase another property. Thanks, Taku

Hey Windyzz, Thanks for your feedback. I do have a bit of cash saved up; however, my plan was to hold onto as much cash as possible. Even if that means I have to pay LMI. My idea was to go as aggressive as possible whilst I have minimal commitments (i.e. no dependants, partner etc.) Like you...

Hey D.T. (or anyone else that may be able to help answer), Could you please clarify what you mean by the above? I'm planning to purchase another IP, ideally 2, by the end of this year. I don't have a PPOR and have 1 IP with a 20% deposit which I purchased in October last year. The plan...

Thanks for the feed back all. I wasn't aware that different resources have different methods of calculating vacancy rates. Now that explains why there are varying figures out there when it comes to vacancy rates. I use SQM research also to check for vacancy rates. Can anyone suggest...

Thanks Terry_w and Rick. Just noticed there's a tech support email I can get in touch with. Cheers, Taku

Thanks DaveM. Technically neither of my answers were correct :eek: Still got a lot to learn! Cheers, Taku

Hi guys, I'm hoping you can shed some light around the area and I'm wondering if it's just me that potentially had this mistaken all along. Regarding vacancy rates: If an area has a 2% vacancy rate, does this mean: a) at any given time of the year, 2 out of every 100 properties in the...

Haha right, thanks Rick. Good to know. Does my LinkedIn icon come up also? By the way, thanks for tool no.8. I'm loving them all! Cheers, Taku

Hi SS team, I'm hoping you guys could give me some assistance please. I having difficulties uploading my LinkedIn profile url which I've tried in putting in various forms (listed below): - https://au.linkedin.com/in/takuekanayake - www.linkedin.com/in/takuekanayake I keep getting the...

I'm 26 now, if I could turn back time I would tell my 16yo self to: - Start investing earlier. - Learn everything there is to know about selling, negotiating and closing. - Would definitely have NOT gone to uni. - Get my mind on my money and my money on my mind. Cheers, Taku

Regarding these Satellite CBD's: is there a preference towards houses or apartments? Or could both make good investments? Cheers, Taku

Hi Jude, There some neat rental yields you've got your self there. Have you had a reval on any of those properties? What's the CG potential look like so far? Cheers, Taku

Hey Jess, Appreciate the clarification around "loading". Cheers, Taku Hey Shahin, That's great news around the Westpac lending criteria! Yep, spot on - I definitely do want to grow my portfolio relatively quickly and as long as the banks lend me, I will continue to purchase...

Hi Redom, This is golden info that I hadn't thought of myself - thanks heaps! What do you mean by "they'll load your mortgage expenses at a higher rate - so you'll need to have reasonable borrowing power to get it over the line."?? Cheers, Taku

If I wanted to dip into some of my equity (the 20% deposit i put down - $76K) from my first IP purchase, what sort of difficulties may I run into? Will my lender (Westpac) allow me to do this? Ideally, I'd still like to keep a minimum of 12% deposit in my first IP to ensure I stay within the...
