TRENDy WESTies do it to you all the time. I got a CD player courtesy of these people. The interest rate on the loan just to pay for the package was more than you could possibly save! Also, when I said, I won't sign anything without sleeping on it, they said sarcastically 'do you need to dream...

I'm just joining the bandwagon. Thanks Steve for a great weekend. It was nice having a small class. And I'd like to stress that Steve answers all your questions so that's really refreshing. Some of the bigger seminars I have been too, there isn't really an opportunity. Now I can put a few more...

Handy Andy, Normally, when an agent phones to say that a tennant is moving in then I expect everything to be fine unless there is something wrong, like missing light bulbs, tv aerial missing etc. There usually is some small thing that needs to be fixed up and that's fine. If they don't ring...

I signed a standard 'Management Agency Agreement Residential' on 25th Novemeber 2002. This includes all my details and the set rent, which by the way is negotiable if they find the right tennant. The tennants have to sign a lease but I don't have to see it. I rely on the agents to tell me...

I recently (End of last year) bought a house. I listed it with some agents (no names mentioned but it was a "reputable" name). One month ago they told me they had someone who was moving in that weekend or even the next day. I was at that stage about to change agents as they had had the property...

No RSVP?

Can I just have some clarification on that since I have never paid interest in advance. So if you have to borrow money to pre-pay interest you are not in front unless it lowers your tax bracket so you pay less tax? Is this correct? I have CGT that will be paid this financial year so would...

Posted the same thing twice! (Blame it on the browser!)

All the good ones on the internet are always sold. They are just BAIT. But the internet is good for assessing different price ranges and what to expect but are usually (I find) 2 weeks behind the actual market which can be important if the market is strong. I found that even the difference...

The problem is that the more IPs you have the less likely you are to boast how much you own. So the best way is simply to talk to people individually and they may or may not tell you but if you find that they are genuine investors they will give you a lot of really worthwhile advice. The best...

I think the best use of small bit of land not near highly populated areas is to errect a nice big sign saying 'FOR SALE $xxxxx O.N.O. Mobile xxx-xxxxx'. and wait to see if any neighbours are interested or the odd passer-by. Other than that I've looked into relocating an unwanted house, minium...

Surely everyone got the last one??? one tens hundreds thousands millions billions... Cheers! Landholdings.:p

It's interesting looking at your goals and thinking how they have/haven't changed over the years. The interesting thing about goals is that once you set them you have 90% more chance of actually achieving them. (I don't base this on any scientific evidence whatsoever!). When I bought my first...

I'm sorry I just can't resist saying something. I'm not blonde and I'm not even that young anymore however I have had my fair share of being ignored, mistreated, and brushed aside by agents. My last agent I have to say was wonderful. She was really helpful. When I bought a place in the...
