Australia is a wonderful country where you will have an equal opportunity to become unequal. That is of course if you do not want to be classified as "average" which means being happy to live like everybody else (which means you will need support from the government to survive in your retirement).. If you would like to be part of the 5% of Australians who retire independently wealthy you need to invest your money wisely. Making your money work for you instead of working your whole life for money.
James Cagney's interest in Real Estate was kindled when he realized that immigrants have the opportunity to buy investment property in Australia whilst still living outside of Australia. Many migrants mistakenly believe they can only do this when they arrive in the country. However, buying property is in fact more difficult once migrants settle because they have no credit record or equity in their new country - two ingredients essential in order for the banks to lend money to purchase a home. As a result many migrants have to wait several years before they can buy a home, which can be very stressful as rents are high and "dead money". Housing prices continuously rise in urban areas, and new migrants can't afford to buy and therefore have to rent. Unfortunately the cost of living is rising continually and migrants are finding almost impossible to save for a deposit for a property. Unbeknown to most migrants and overseas residents, they can actually borrow between 70% to 80% on the property from Australian banks, whilst they are still living and working in their home country. The easing of the South African Reserve Bank exchange control restrictions has helped many South Africans to fund the deposit and costs to enter into the property market prior to their immigration to Australia. A deposit of around 20% plus purchase costs is required and most investors from developed countries have no exchange control and can easily deposit the money safely into an Australian solicitors account.

As many of you know the New South Wales and Victoria State government budget were recently announced and it is great news for first home buyers particularly in regional areas in the State. The governments $10,000 to $20,000 grant is up for grabs! The New South Wales and Victoria government has announced generous grants to first home buyers including no stamp duty on homes below the State threshold of $650K and $750K. These measures will enable thousand of first home buyers to achieve their dream of owning a home. In addition James Cagney has contacts with builders that offer generous rebates and terms to assist first home buyers. This is your opportunity to get into the market because this offer will not last. The grants have only been made possible due to the privatisation of State services and the sale of State assets. The money will run dry and it takes the stroke of a pen to write it into the budget and take it away.
The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) and the exclusion of transfer duty for first home buyers within a threshold of $650,000 qualifying for the FHOG, will result in price escalation and prosperity in regional areas. Unfortunately the FHOG threshold will exclude most suburbs in Sydney and the new FHOG will have less impact on Sydney property prices.
The good news for NSW residents in 18 suburbs and towns, is that they will be getting a new or upgraded hospital. They also announced major expenditure on roads, schools and social services. This was made possible through the capital raised by recent privatisations, the sale of State assets and the strength of the NSW economy which has been outperforming the other states for some time.
The Nationals loss of the Orange by-election last year to the "Shooters, Fishing and Farmers Party" was a wake-up call for them and was a result of them neglecting the regional areas of the state for too long. They now realise that they have to connect with local regional areas again - or suffer the same fate in the 2019 State elections. True to form, politicians always have an agenda when they provide funding and regional NSW is the winner this time. And about time.
I recently wrote about the potential of regional NSW and this latest budget will give the regional areas a huge boost in employment, property prices and prosperity. The Nationals have pledged the following to regional NSW:For more information on the potential for regional NSW property click >>> REGNSW. To discover how you can benefit from the the FHOG and the properties and locations we have available, please call James Cagney on +61 416 137 645.
The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) has increased from $10,000 to $20,000 for new homes built in regional Victoria (see below) and valued up to $750,000.
The $20,000 FHOG will apply for contracts signed from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020. Eligible first-home buyers of new homes in metropolitan Melbourne will continue to receive the $10,000 FHOG.
To access the regional areas which qualify for the $20,000 FHOG click >>> REGVIC .
When you buy your home, you'll most likely have to pay land transfer duty (otherwise known as stamp duty). How much you pay depends on your property's value, what you're using it for and whether you are eligible for any exemptions or concessions. These information is available >>> FHOG.
Treasurer Tim Pallas claimed May 2017 Victoria budget will deliver more than $8 billion in surpluses over the next four years, with a $1.2 billion surplus this financial year. The Andrews government is spending big on infrastructure, education and law and order.
Regional cities that qualify for the $20,000 regional grant and have potential are Bendigo, Ballarat, Bacchus March, Darley in the West. These areas are traveling distance to Melbourne by road and train. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said "If we can better regional communities with Melbourne, if we can better connect between regional communities, that's great for families, it's great for employment." The Victorian government is investing $1.45 billion in regional rail services and upgrades. More than $400 million will go towards fixing up the Gippsland line. The government will upgrade the Warrnambool lines and provide funding for the Surf Coast Rail Project.
In the May 2017 budget schools will receive $50.7 million to improve poor results and the government has committed $695 million to an education works program. Cash from this funding will be put aside so land for 11 future schools can be purchased in growing regional areas. Almost 60 schools in regional areas will be upgraded and 49 schools in Melbourne.
All this is good news for regional Victoria. If you would like to find out more about the opportunities in regional cities for employment and housing that qualify for the $20,000 grant give james Cagney a call on +61 416 137 645 or click >>> HERE.

Do not become emotionally involved or "loyal" to the state where you initially plan to settle when purchasing an investment property in Australia. Think of the property as a money box into which you, the tenant and the taxman (ATO), make deposits into. You must invest where you get the best capital growth and sustainable rental return. You can always use the equity in the investment property to buy your home.
Many migrants choose the major cities in Australia to settle. The population of Sydney, Melbourne Brisbane and Perth and the surrounding towns has grown dramatically in recent years. A great proportion of this growth has come from overseas migration. Property prices have resin dramatically in Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin and Perth over the past few years. Fears of a Property Bubble in these major cities is rife and imminent. Brisbane is predicted to have the best future growth as property prices are reasonFor more updated information please go to the "NEWS" and browse through the recent Articles and Updates by clicking >>>> here .

Australia Hot Property (BN.20574423) have value for money properties that are in high growth areas. James spends time every day researching areas and contacting developers in these growth areas. Unfortunately, there are too many marketing organisations and property spruikers selling overpriced properties in areas that are showing no or limited growth because they have to sell the stock they have right now. Please contact us so we can give you more details of the properties we have for sale that will make you money.
The fact is that many properties you find on property search websites have been there for months because they are either overpriced or undesirable. There are over 1.7 million properties listed and if you spend a few minutes studying each one it will take you 5 years to get through them all. It's impossible and ridiculous for you to even contemplate this. Australia Hot Property (AHP) do the research for you.

We have a CHAIN SAW to get through this jungle, which is more effective and less time consuming for you. Stop trying to do all the work yourself. and rely on others otherwise you will get "analysis paralysis" and never make a decision. You then end up with that terrible affliction in retirement "ican'tafforditis",which is not what you worked 45 years of your life to settle for.
You will be thinking "Whats in it for me" (WIIFM) . Well AHP make commission when you buy a property. We obviously need to make money to stay in business. However, if we get you what you want.......we are entitled to get what we want. We will make you money..... and we thereby earn commission. It's the "Law of Reciprocity" and it works. Please note that in every one of our properties it is the seller who pays the commission not the purchaser.

I am going to let you into the secrets that many real estate agents use to enrich themselves at your expense and you always end up losing money.
1. They persuade you to sell your property for under the market value. They tell you that the market is "bad", "down", "at the bottom" etc. etc., so you will agree to a lower price so they can get a quick sale and earn their commission. They use historic data to prove their point without taking into account the actual property cycle. In other words is the property in the "Rapid Growth", "Correction" or "Stabilisation" phase. This is as more important as historic data because it will tell you when the best time to sell will most likely occur. What happens you sell your property and a few months later the property market in the area goes up and you regret selling your property. How many times I have heard vendors say "If I only held onto the property for another year I would have made double the amount of money". Too late now because you did not get the right advise from lazy and unscrupulous real estate agents who are more interested in their own self promotion (putting "SOLD" signs up) and their commission than what is in your best interests. The truth is most agents can only sell property because they tell the buyer that they can get them a discount because they know what you will accept because you are now desperate to sell after months of trying and having spent your hard earned money on advertising. The fact is that the Real Estate Agent simply cannot act in the best interest of the "buyer" and the "seller" . It is impossible because he is after a commission for a sale and one party is going to lose and the other gain.
2. They give you an unrealistic high price for what your property is worth. Let's face it most people do have unrealistic expectations of what their property is worth. However, these real estate agents need to justify their jobs to their boss by getting listings at all costs so they can fill their advertising space with your money. You give them money for advertising and they have kept their job. If the property is not sold within a month because they will get very few inquiries because the price is unrealistically. We must acknowledge that buyers today are Internet savvy and they do their research and the agent can't pull the wool over their eyes. Just before the expiry date of your sole agency or exclusive agency agreement (more about this con below) the agent convinces you to lower your price and more often than not say you now have to spend more money on advertising. You do not want to throw away the money you have already spent on advertising so you agree to spend more of your hard earned money. Sellers are suckered in once again. Think about it - what a way for the agent and the Real Estate agency to increase their advertising exposure (once again) with your money?
3. They persuade you to give them a "sole" or "exclusive" agency. They justify this by saying that they are going to do so much for you (mostly over-promising and under delivering) and for that the agency deserves to have the sole right to sell the property. What you have done is exclude the other agencies in the area to sell your property! Of course, they tell you they will conjunct with other agents but the reality is the agent is not about to give away half of his commission to another agent. So if another agent has property in the area they do the same and what they are doing is restricting choice and disadvantaging you as the vendor. And, why sell a property when the seller is paying for their advertising space. They are more inclined to push properties where the advertising money is exhausted and those where the sole agency is about to expire. Vendors are seldom inclined to give another sole mandate if the property is not sold within the allotted time-frame. Agents in the area are well aware when these sole mandates are about to expire and they will be knocking on your door spruiking their ability to sell your property. More advertising money is need of course and you are paying.
4. They are torn between the income from property management and giving you advice on selling your property. The value of a real estate agency is in the "Rent Role". This is the core of their potential profit and what they can sell to another agency. Therefore, property sales are the cream on the top for them - they are more interested in their rent role than in your goal to sell the property. Think about it - they can't sell their salespeople, the furniture is not worth much and the shop / offices is rented or leased. If there is a long term tenant in your property they may persuade you not to sell and you could lose out on the best time to sell your property. Or, they can put your property on the "back burner' and sell it only when they have a long term tenant in place.
5. They limit you to people looking for a home to live in rather than to investors. Agents that sell homes do not have the research that many other direct property professionals have. Therefore these agents can only try and build a story around your property to investors. Unfortunately for them Investors today are Internet smart and they go onto the numerous property sites that are available and do their research.
Of course their are ethical and respectable real estate agencies in Australia but the games that many real estates agents play and the methods they use to prey on unsuspecting vendors who fall for it time and time again must be EXPOSED. Do not be conned by unscrupulous real estate agents who use the tactics above and obviously do not have your best interests at heart. Contact James and he will create a WIN / WIN for both buyer and seller and makes no apologies for that. Everybody wins this way and James commission is fair and competitive in the market place and is disclosed - no secrets, no games just looking after the interest of the buyer and the seller.

Many Developers and builders pose as independent marketers of property but push their own properties because they have bills to pay and they have the bank to appease so they can borrow more money to expand the development or for the next development. Real estate agents have contracts to sell specific properties of sellers and they just build a story around that property to persuade you to buy the property. Whether that property will grow in value is not their concern because they are not looking for ongoing business the are chasing the sale . If they don't do this the vendors will take the development away from them and give it to another real estate agency They simply have deadlines to meet or lose out on their commission.
