REA's words not mine, another dirty trick? ;)

Hi Wylie, I learned of a "purchaser dirty trick" today. Our conveyancer told us to take the word "Major" out before the building defect clause, which apparently means you can re-neg on the contract if you don't like a broken tile. What other ways have you seen purchasers try to weasel out of a...

No this is not the case, I just wanted some answers to my original question. Interesting that the property is still on on realestate.com.au and is running 2 open houses this weekend. Still seems like a bluff to me.

Yes Sanj, this is for real. I thought he was trying to push for a higher offer but apparently this is common practice? Part of being green is not knowing these things. Thanks fellas :)

Hi Big will, have you experienced any REA dirty tricks?

Seems that way!

Hi Tim, Have you experienced any REA dirty tricks?

But we don't care :P Have you experienced any dirty tricks Pinkboy? EDIT: Courtesy call at 21:30 doesn't seem too courteous. Maybe I'm reading into this too much but I believe he was with the vendor presenting offers. 21:30 is probably a good time to call as people would often have had a couple...

Hello SS, I'd like to start a discussion about dirty tricks you've seen real estate agents use to try and push up prices etc. I've dealt with one REA only so experience is limited but I did have an opportunity to see some dirty tricks! So far I'm enjoying the property game as it reminds me...

Thank you all for your sage advice. Our pre-approval took longer than expected so we were unable to submit the offer to take the property off the market before the open houses. A family member went and said that it was very popular! We've since learned that the vendor wants a long settlement...

Hello, my wife and I have found a property that we like and would like to make an offer. The property is listed at 420+ and we would be willing to offer 430. The property is located in vic, and has been on the market for about a week and has 2 open inspections this weekend, sat and sun...

Hi Rixter, I'm really keen to know more. Can you please elaborate on this and how you would perpetually LOE?

Hi Guys, I've heard a term being thrown around a lot lately. Can someone please define LOE and show me some real world examples using numbers? Cheers, SL.

Hi DT, yes, this is true. Ich bin besorgt about the lack of equity we can leverage from the initial home. I was hoping for an easy way to leverage some deposits. At least with the final solution to the debt question in place a deposit should be easier to get for the first IP. That pocketbook...
