Bianca, as you are in Mackay also try advertising in Pocket Ads & Pocket Trader. Also to widen up your target audience try using some owner selling websites: owner.com.au your estate buy & sell australia The above sites don't charge you anything but do get good traffic through them.

Hi Ben, There are a few things to take into consideration. One key thing I am confused about is why your PM didn't advertise the property immediately upon getting the required RTA forms from the tenant advising they were breaking the lease? I don't think somehow that the tenant would have been...

Hi Bianca, Have gone over your site & am a bit confused. You mention that creative financing may be available. What are you referring to? Is this to be sold as a lease option/Rent to Own, Installment Contract or are you offering Deposit Help (i.e Vendor Finance)? This is just an...

Hi Kamak, I have used the above service however nothing beats RP Data. You will need to pay a small fee to use this service however it is updated a lot quicker than on the house.

Hi Yaz, We have done Rick's course & are now members of his Boardroom group. We work in Mackay Qld & have used a number of Rick's strategies & have been quite happy with the outcome. I think the most important thing you can take out of the course is to remember YOUR target audience. Not...

JJ, if this lady isn't taking your calls & is putting you off with excuses of the building manager needs to get this rectified I would suggest you get in touch directly with the manager yourself to find out what is going on. Be prepared to show a copy of the contract you signed with her. I...

DreamGirl, I was about to give you the same link to Tony Cordato! You mentioned you were also looking at Joint Ventures & his firm has great information on this. If you are keen to look at lease options as a way of buying & selling property have a look at Rick Otton as an option. I have...

Jared we have done a number of Rent to Own/Lease Options in Mackay & I would probably say if you have not undergone relevant training to be comfortable with this process of procuring properties & assisting a seller to get the right buyer in place you need to do this first. It will give you the...

There's some really great advice on here re buying in the same area.

Thanks for the welcome Lofty. I am loving this forum

We too stumbled across the Cash Flow For Life Real Estate Strategy By Accident and "Sack The Banks" Forever! It is amazing how well this has worked for us. We have been fortunate now to take our experiences & what we have learnt & pass them onto other people here in Mackay selling our homes...

Blacky, I am in complete agreement here with Brendio. We have done JV's in the past & whilst they are a great option to get a project completed there are definitely things to look out. My strongest piece of advice would be to ensure that you have legal advice specialising in drafting your...

Hi Ren, I think you have to be very careful overcapitalising. Ask yourself this question: if you update the kitchen will you stay in the home tiny bit longer to allow valuations in the area to pick up? Further more what sort of area are you in has it already reached it's max growth? To...

The Vendor Finance Calculator is an amazing tool. We have used it previously in putting together an option for someone to purchase a property as a Rent to Own home here in Mackay. It certainly allows you to gain an accurate snapshot as to whether it is worth your time to sell a home in...
