A Slight Change In Plans!

Some of you guys might be aware I'm purchasing a property at the moment (paperwork is a nightmare) and building an extension onto it in the next few months. Well there's been a change in plans ...

I've extended the lending amount to about $580K to buy out the loan left on the GF place, and we're going to invest in the rental market. :P

Met with the broker last night and the Elders agent too, and discussed all our options with them and Tracy (GF). After nutting out the best options and thinking long and hard about it, we've got plans and contingency plans in place to make it work. Tracy is trusting me entirely with our finances and the management of our property portfolio. I'm a manager/bookkeeper of a $1M pa turnover business, so I think I've got skills in the money management area ;) The repayments will basically absorb my salary in the first 6-9 months. But if we can stick it out and live of the GF income then it would be the best retirement fund we could invest in. The Stag isn't going to get any lovin for a while.

Basically the way it works is my lender will buy out the current loan remaining on Tracy's property and extend that loan amount to include the purchase price of the new property, including an offset account with a nice sum in it for the extension. We move out of our current residence into the new place and rent out Tracy's place = income. We'll go variable with the interest rates for 6-9 months as the creep down and follow the RBA. When they settle at anything under 7.5% we'll go fixed for 3 years and start using the offset account for the extension. I know people in the trade and I'm a drafter also, so we'll save alot.

If there is any trouble with affording it all, such as the property is not tenanted for some time, I've allocated a limit of $5K from the offset account to help cover the loss portion of the repayments. That equates to about a 3.5 month buffer for things to go wrong, if they go wrong. If after 2 months the market is not working in our favour, we sell the rental place for a nice figure and refinance the loan for a lower total amount and new rate.

Its still daunting to think about :P

Its definitely do-able. But we'll be pressed for finances if something bad should happen, such as the lad needing dental work etc. I've always liked to live a lifestyle thats "comfortable" to my income. Whilst I won't exactly be 'squeezing every last penny' going down this path, I won't be living comfy either ... at least not for 6 months initially as we set up the property for rental, do all the paperwork, go thru settlement, blah blah blah

But I am kinda looking forward to it.

I got the biggest compliment from one of my bosses today. The big wig male boss and I get olong great. But my female boss and I lock horns from time to time, and don't see eye to eye on a few business things and business practices ... but even she said I've got great management skills and bookkeeping skills to make it work. I almost fainted hearing that :P So thats a big reassurance I could manage this investment portfolio just fine.

:P

I heard that if you purchased an investment property, and rented it out, the government would pay you x amount a week? Plus you'd get the income from the rent, therefore you'd be covered for the mortgage cost of the property?

Can anyone confirm this?

I've spoken to my financial advisor Nene ... and 'no' its not Tracy :devil: I did the numbers before I sought the advice and they just confirmed what I'd worked out anyway.

Its a big step but its definitely do-able as long as the money is managed properly. Something I'm good at.

We'll get you and Ben over for dinner again one night and fill you both in on the move.

Yeah uni is like that :down:

I've met quite a few members here and openly discussed the house buying thing to them. I guess its as simple as if you don't wanna know don't read about it. Those who are interested in entering the market, might just want to speak to someone who's recently done it. I've made a few contacts over the time.

In any case, I'm f**king excited ... so I'm sharing :)

p.s. now I gotta get that pool up well and truly before summer, so preggers Pokie can have a swim :(

sounds like a similar story to me and my missus, we just recently re-furbed our unit, as an investment property

and recently moved back with her mum to rent it out...

mortage has gone up like a mofo

and we overspent on the renovations,

hence the reason the 33 might have to go to make way for the next property.....

well, thats what our broker says, i just give him evil looks everytime he brings my car into it :P

good luck with it ruby!

Well done on taking the plunge into property investment :P, I bought a nice Melb apartment at the begining of this year and it certaintly helps with your cash flow if you have partner or two to go into it with.

If your land agent hasn't already suggested you might want to look into getting a qualified surveyor *cough*BMT & Assoc* to do a 'Capital allowance & Tax depreciation report for ya. It enables ya to claim the special building write-off + more plant & equipment to depreciate than you otherwise normally would. So ultimately come tax time & being a negatively geared property it further helps you get a higher refund till you sell it/ move in. But, in turn the capital allowance deductions will reduce the cost base when it comes to working out the Capital Gain (or Loss but hopefully not, lol).

Good luck managing it :P

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
