– Written by Bec (B1) Wow I’m exhausted… that’s what I was feeling when we finally landed back in Sydney after two weeks in the USA. I’ll be the first to admit that I had always thought what Todd did on his USA buying trips really wasn’t a lot. Yeah […]

We’ve all seen ‘The Current Affair’ horror stories of tenants in Australia trashing investment properties. It’s a vendor’s worst nightmare. I can honestly say that I have never had an investment property of mine trashed. I have, however, had to boot out a tenant for not paying their rent. When […]

If you have read a newspaper lately, you no doubt have come across the APRA changes that are taking effect in the lending world. If you think APRA have finished with the financial industry, think again. It’s feeling like home loan applications are going to go back to the 1980’s, when […]

I always laugh at Budget time as Australia halts whilst waiting for the proposal, which is then usually blocked by the opposition. Making it almost a waste of time unless they bribe the independents to vote for the bill. Forgive me if I come across as cynical, but it’s pathetic! […]

From time to time, I am gob smacked by those “apparent” industry leaders and their inability to manage our economy. Recent news from the RBA in late March spoke about the Central Banks fear of rising interest rates. Aren’t these guys supposed to be the smartest of the smartest? With […]

Continued from Using USA as a Strategy – Part Two… In relation to financing, there are options for Australians that have only recently become available but that’s another editorial for that subject alone. That said, it can potentially help those investors that would have around the $50k deposit get into […]

Continued from Using USA as a Strategy – Part One… Mother nature plays a factor in deciding where to invest as the middle part of the US falls into what is called ‘Tornado Alley’. With an average of 1,274 tornados per annum, it’s definitely a factor you need to consider. […]

Four years ago, I started to build a property portfolio for myself in the USA. So what made me look overseas to invest? It was both the extremely low purchase prices along with the awesome yields. Now I can’t get enough! More, and more investors, are seeing the returns I […]

For a long time, the Sunny Coast has been a great location for holiday goers and property investors. It’s a strong market for those with enough extra cash to even own a holiday house or investment unit in Noosa and the surrounding suburbs, so that they could holiday cheaply and […]

Every now and again, I get a bad feeling in my stomach that things are just not right. And I’m getting that feeling now about the mortgage world. Usually when I get this feeling, it’s when I travel to a new investing location to buy houses and something jumps out […]

I’m an avid Triple J listener and every day they have a half hour session called Hack where they cover the tough stories in the news… Well last Wednesday they obviously covered the Budget and had an Economist named Richard Dennis on air, and boy didn’t he put his foot […]

Why do we do it…? What is the purpose of our strategy in acting this way? As humans we are a funny bunch, with way too much trust in some areas and completely none in others… our minds work in strange ways. The two below examples should almost be reversed […]

Can someone please explain why is it that in the lead up to every election we have, the country shuts shop? I mean, retail spending dies, wholesale buying is virtually non-existent and the real estate industry has tumbleweed rolling down the streets. Not that I am complaining, in […]

This Blog has come from a request on our wHeregroup Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/wHeregroup if you haven’t liked yet, whats going on? I was asked to write about how I find suitable streets after I have found a suitable suburb. Now although I do obviously take the street into consideration, like […]

The things we do for charity… well this one is going to be the hardest and definitely the most enjoyable. A group of four of us have signed up for motorbike ride starting in Hobart and finishing in…………………………. Alice Springs… Yep Alice That’s not the hard part though, its almost […]

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes when you buy a property. As a purchaser, you are not privy to all that happens but lets just say, having the right team behind you can pay dividends.

So last week we had many comments on both sides of the story – debate is good, gets the brain cells working. I was asked by a few to put together a plan for those who had already gone down the path of getting married and having children young. Don’t […]

Well this is going to be one of those controversial stories, so I am apologising in advance. Nah actually, no I’m not… What is it with a ring? I mean how it causes such a change… I am confused… And.. It happens too often for me not to Blog about… […]

An important decision was made this week… I decided that our WA location was all done… the deals are gone! Its time to move on and the investors, whom had purchased there, are about to enjoy a great ride. It’s also when I can publicly announce exactly where the secret […]

Every so often we are inspired by what somebody else has done… and this week I was inspired, by some new clients whom have just come on board. Mark, Danielle and David are three friends who work up in the mines in Northern WA. They are Fly in Fly […]
