Mmmm - well 7 self funding properties in Auckland is a good achievement, if that is indeed the case.

You just keep on getting valuations on the new ones you did cheap reno's on, take that to the bank get the additional funds put into a R/C account, use those funds as the deposit for the next.
Try to get the banks to finance 90% or 85% of each new RV.
Even reno costs, interest costs, etc can come out of the new equity you have created.
Just dont loose 250k like I did on something stupid with the council and you can keep on going.
Dont make a wrong move and step on a wrong square, a bit like snakes and ladders is property.
Ron's help to stay off those snake steps is probably worth the 5k to 10k mentoring fee.

You are buying and holding them all or?
4 units in Mt Wellington, 1 unit Mt Albert, 1 unit in Mt Eden, 1 townhouse in Te Atatu Peninsula.
All positive cashflow, lowest gross yield (52 weeks) 6.25%, highest 9.6%. (Yes I use 52 weeks to calculate because I manage them all and only a total of 7 day vacancies over last 2 years, and over 11 tenancies).
Net income 36k per year.
Using 5 banks and almost 2mil in debt =)Last edited by NovInvestor; 20-09-2012, 02:52 PM.

Well done NovInvestor. I hope it continues to work out for you. Just don't get ahead of yourself like some that have failed and you will do well - interest rates can change and make a 6.25% return difficult. But it sounds like you have some margin and 7 properties in 2 years is hardly going silly.

In hindsight I should have done it, especially when Ron said I could join for just 5k.
I think its probably worth the money just to get in the know on all the cheap ways of renovating and high value tradesmen you guys have lined up over the years.

But we are happy with our progress.
Yes I am aware of the interest rates, but hey if you over calculate, you stop buying or making decisive decisions.
Ultimately we want something like 10 properties paid off, and live off that passive income handsomely!

One thing I am concerned for Ron is that he should not accept any students in a year or 2's time like 2014-15, as market will be at the peak, and deliver results to students will be much harder!
High value tradesmen? lol there is no such thing! Not now! they are all damn busy!

I dont know why on earth anyone would target him.
He has done very well himself and done very well for a lot of people.
And he genuinely likes to help as well.
Only thing I can fault him for is trying to predict the market and getting it horribly wrong.
In his DVD series he did ages ago, he quoted some market prediction he thought were obvious, and he was badly wrong.

PT is certainly a valuable networking resource, even
if it is sometimes a bit trying and tortuous!

Some thought Olly Newland was wrong in 2006, but I think that's a good alarming call to start planning to sell/refinance things anyways, which I thought was a good call regardless.

Westpac Seeks Long-term Borrowers
Richard Meadows
20/09/2012
Westpac is going against the grain by trying to encourage customers to lock in to longer-term fixed mortgage rates.
The interest rate battles amongst the banks have mostly been fought in the shorter six-month to two-year terms,
which are by far the most popular with home owners.
