INVESTMENT TIP:

EXAMPLE OF SPLITTING A BUDGET INTO TWO PROPERTIES IN A FANTASTIC HIGH CAPITAL GROWTH HOT SPOT!

OUR PROPERTY MARKET IS GUARANTEED TO RECOVER….

Sunday, November 13th, 2011

“Our Property Market is Guaranteed to Recover” and by the time you finish reading the following, you will understand why….

But before I explain, I’d like to comment on the debate about Australia's population growth and our nation’s capacity to house the growing number of new residents arriving on our shores. Some say we should limit immigration, while others argue that we need more skilled workers to boost our economy.

Although immigration has slowed in recent times, the projections for our future population have many concerned about where all of these people will live and how our already strained infrastructure and environment will cope.

The fact is Australia's population will get bigger under every realistic scenario according to a report by the Centre for Independent Studies, and no matter what politicians do, population growth is going to happen. This is a certainty.

First Home Buyers – FHOG

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

As of January 01 2012, first home buyers in NSW will no longer be able to claim stamp duty exemptions on existing homes valued up to $500,000. Instead, only first home buyers purchasing new homes and ‘off the plan’ will be eligible for the concession.

Eligible first home buyers do not pay duty on homes priced up to $500,000 and vacant land up to $300,000. Concessions on duty are available on a sliding scale for homes priced between $500,000 and $600,000 and for vacant land priced between $300,000 and $450,000. This scheme provides savings of up to $17,990 for first home buyers.
