25.01.2022 Have you considered carefully what it is your looking to achieve from your property portfolio? Without careful consideration of what your looking to achieve it could lead to expensive mistakes

25.01.2022 On average, 44 Australians take their lives each week. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Most suicides are preventable and we all have a role to play in re...ducing the stigma and discrimination that stops people asking for help. If someone is behaving out of the ordinary, has become withdrawn or seems down all the time, dont be afraid to ask if theyre OK. Dont worry youll say something wrong just say something. 5 out of 6 suicides are male and its why weve announced today that we are providing male-dominated workplaces with free or heavily-subsidised training sessions to improve the mental health of workers across Australia. SMEs, not-for-profits, unions and businesses in construction, mining, manufacturing and transport are eligible. For more info visit: http://bit.ly/19C1ZxS

24.01.2022 Lots of talk at the moment about a property bubble in Sydney being talked about by economists. Likewise alot of talk about property related industries shooting that talk down. To seperate wood from the trees you need to know where economic cycle is and how property interacts. Dont know? Give me a call in 1300 650 341

23.01.2022 For those of you whom have an interest in overseas properties. Please find a link to an article in the British paper, Daily Mail; in relation to the housing prices in Britain. http://www.dailymail.co.uk//House-price-rises-capped-5-pre

22.01.2022 What happens if your portfolio is not performing. Do you have the processes in place to recognise and react to a under performing investment

22.01.2022 UK talking about negative interest rates, and with proposed changes to the allocation of pensions, could this be an ideal time to invest there???

22.01.2022 According to the Manly Daily (sat 2nd march) you need $800,000 minimum to buy a 3 bed house http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au//story-fngr8hax-122658866

20.01.2022 Calculating rental yield. In order to find the gross rental yield of a particular property please follow this formula: ((Weekly Rent x 52) / purchase price) x 100 = Rental Yield

19.01.2022 Do you think that the property market provides enough assistance to first time buyers? At Orion Advisory our primary focus is first time buyers: contact 1300 023 246

18.01.2022 Some pre election commitments to proposed infrastructure on the Central Coast should mean that it should be quite high on watch lists to see how those promises eventuate (if at all).

18.01.2022 Research document to be available via our website www.orionadvisoryservices.com.au within the next seven days.

17.01.2022 Housing market data is due for release this Friday. It is expected to show that there has been limited increase within properties coming onto the market, but an increase within the demand levels. Obviously good for investors and their rental yields, not fantastic for those looking to enter the market.

16.01.2022 Testimonial from a recent client "Robert Fleming (Orion Advisory Services) helped me purchase my first property through my self-managed super fund. His professionalism and attention to detail from start to finish is exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending Robert."

16.01.2022 Have a pool at your property or looking to buy a property with a pool from 29th October the pool NEEDS to be registered with the NSW government. Please see http://www.swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au/

16.01.2022 Property Seminars can be an invaluable way to both exposue yourself to the principals of property investing and to learn information in and around the activity. Unfortuantly though a number have been hijacked by those simply trying to scam /force people into projects that they should never be considering. If your planning on attending a seminar and /or follow through with the information detailed within one please check out this site first http://www.scamwatch.gov.au//investmentseminarsrealestates

16.01.2022 I was reading commentary the other day that made reference to the fact that only around 8% of all investors are able to own 3 or more properties. From reading the article in more depth it is clear that the main reason behind this is affordability. Too many investors purchase properties that are unsuited to either their personal /financial situation or that they have not considered the longer term effects of owning property. Orion Advisory Services can work with you to make sure that you dont buy an inappropriate property. We can put together a tailored investment plan that will assist you to invest sustainably and meet with your portfolio goals.

14.01.2022 Found this interesting article on Granny Flats as an investment option today. If you are considering this option it would be well worth speaking with a property investment advisor to ascertain and clarify what it is that you are trying to achieve first. http://www.propertyobserver.com.au//granny-f/2013090264738

13.01.2022 Looking to get on the property ladder? Considered how you will save money for your deposit? View the following link for assistance http://www.infochoice.com.au/calculators/savings-calculator/

11.01.2022 Lots of talk about fixing interest rates at the moment. If you own an investment and are planning on selling prior to the end of your fixed term please be aware that exit fees will most likely apply. In some instances this can be in the tens of thousands of dollars

10.01.2022 Be very careful if you have investments in Victoria or South Australia in areas reliant on the car manufacturing industries. Holden have announced they are stopping production in 2017 (ford 2016)

10.01.2022 With interest rates low and expected to drop now would be a great time to consider purchasing an investment property.

07.01.2022 Have just been listening to Warren Truss at the press club. Interesting commentary. Would be interested in how much funding is actually provided to regional Australia in regards to Infrastructure, could have big impacts on some of those regional towns for those investing within them.

07.01.2022 We would appreciate if you could complete a short survey for internal research http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZPZ6H8G

07.01.2022 Are you considering buying a defence house for an investment property? If so make sure that you are aware of a couple of key points, mainly that you will likely pay a higher entry point due to the guaranteed rent. Also please bear in mind that military units can be moved at short notice. Above all else though make sure you research the area. Make sure that there are other supporting reasons to purchase the property and not just that it is a DHA property. As with everything else if the property doesnt stack up without the incentive then reconsider purchasing. For those that are considering DHA properties it may be well worth looking into both Darwin and Townsville as potential entry points.

06.01.2022 Buying property within your SMSF, make sure that you consider the holding costs of running an SMSF. This needs to be considered and factored in when looking at the amount of rent (and your rental yield) for prospective properties.

05.01.2022 There has been a lot of talk by economists about the possibility of a limit on how much banks can lend to you to purchase a property. This is off the back of the proposed increases within the median house prices (fin review yesterday - 18/09/2013 - indicating that prices in Sydney could rise 20-30% in some places). The question though for those looking to enter /move up the housing ladder is to make sure that they dont miss out on properties within their price range. Orion Advisory Services can assist those looking to purchase and secure a property on budget and in timely fashion. Be these properties an investment or a property to live within yourself. Call Robert Fleming on 1300 023 246 to discuss your needs.

04.01.2022 Buying in an Auction? With the amount of auctions taking place throughout Sydney, at some point in your property buying life there is a good chance that you will find yourself within one. Below are a list of tips to help you through the process: 1. Overcoming the Unknown. If youre planning at buying at auction, and have never done so before, go and visit a couple. See what happens, experience the sometime frantic atmosphere of an auction firsthand. That way when it comes to... your big day you can avoid being drawn into the emotion of the event; 2. Look before you commit. Before attending an auction make sure where possible you have your inspections already done. I cannot stress this enough, if you buy a property under auction conditions then in most instances you enter the contract the moment the auctioneers hammer comes down; 3. Pricing. Just because an agent has a property listed for figure x does not mean that is the true value or asking price. As a rule of thumb plus 15-20% onto the auction asking price for a more realistic price of what it could go for; 4. Keep your cards close to your chest. It is the agents job to secure the best possible pricing for their client, the vendor; generally they are not on your side. Dont give too much away regarding your circumstances and budget if questioned, remain non-committal; 5. Research Research Research. Prior to going to the auction undertake due diligence on the pricing. Review similar properties sales prices in the immediate area, and avoid paying a kings ransom for a shack! 6. Strategy. If you know the reserve price, ask yourself the question is it worth bidding before it reaches this limit? The reserve price is the price that technically the property becomes available for sale. If it does not reach reserve, you still have the option of negotiating with the agent after the auction. Similarly be careful about the increments that you increase your bid by. Try to ascertain the strength of other bidders and adjust your strategy accordingly; 7. Limit. Finally and most importantly of all set yourself a limit and do not go above this limit. Remember you technically enter into the contract once the hammer comes down and if you dont have the money? It could be very expensive for you one way or another. Orion Advisory Services can assist you in every facet of the process, from helping you plan your strategy to attending an auction with you. Alternatively you may just want to drop us a line to chat things through. Please contact 1300 023 300 or email [email protected]

04.01.2022 Nation of Renters: Interesting article from the Financial Review http://www.afr.com//housing_nation_of_renters_WSw4y4QvQDc8

04.01.2022 Ongoing Management of your property portfolio is vital, ensure that you have regular intervals to keep on top of market movements and changes which may effect your portfolio

03.01.2022 Thought I would share this information which I found recently on Domain. The commentary is by a senior economist at APM. Interested to hear your thoughts... Dr Andrew Wilson, the senior economist at Australian Property Monitors (a Fairfax Media company) says theres a burgeoning investor industry growing off the back of the current flight to bricks and mortar by investors, and buyers need to be wary of rushing into so-called "hotspots". "Is there really such a thing as a hots...pot?" he asks. "Or is the hotspot just a place where investors get their fingers burnt?" While Wilson says Australia has a "resilient, robust housing market", he warns "that doesnt mean that its a license to print money. Unfortunately there is a proponent of the quick, easy kill in the housing market once it starts to rise". Wilson says mining towns, such as Gladstone in Queensland, are stark examples of how markets can become overheated and inflate when there is a rush of investor funds. In assessing whether an area offers good investment prospects, purchasers should gain an understanding of the demographics of an area, research recent vacancy rates and price movements, learn about future developments planned for the location and, most importantly, know the local economy. "If the local economy is underperforming or if it is exposed to say, just one element, like a mine or a large agricultural resource or a ... manufacturing entity that drives most of the economic output, then ... you can be exposed to a downturn quite quickly," Wilson says. "Thats why larger markets with a more diverse economic profile offer the best type of ... investment." Wilson also warns that the housing market is not the place for short-term capital gains. "People have built themselves very solid portfolios, which do become secure nest eggs, by taking that medium to longer term view, by building that equity in solid stable markets, like in capital city markets." One thing is for sure, a market that heats up must cool down at some stage. "My gut feel is that next year were going to see a downturn in the economy and that will take a little bit of the heat out of the market," says Wilson.

02.01.2022 Thinking of buying in the Sydneys beautiful Northern Beaches - here is the infrastructural plans for the region http://www.2021.nsw.gov.au//DPC13927-NSW-RAP-Northern-Beac

02.01.2022 It is with great sadness that I need to announce that the charity race day will be postponed until early next year. Really was banking on that as one to raise money for my chosen charity, anyone have any ideas of something unique /relatively undone for charity event?

01.01.2022 West Connex was given the green light today. This much talked about addition to the Sydney Roadway Infrastructure will commence building in 2015 at a cost of $11bn. The West Connex has proposed to improve travel times for those living within the West and South West of Sydney to among other places the airport and city itself. Given the improved infrastructural links, it is only reasonable to consider that business will look to take advantage of the improved access routes by ...relocating to areas benefiting from the motorway development. As such this gives yet another reason for those looking to invest within property to place the South Western Suburbs of Sydney on the watching brief with a view researching the viability to enter this market for them. **PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ABOVE DOES NOT CONSITUTE PERSONAL INVESTMENT ADVICE. Should you wish to discuss your own investment requirements and whether the South West of Sydney is suitable for you to invest in please contact Orion Advisory Services on 1300 023 246 or email [email protected] **
