    2 questions regarding RE agents

    1. Real estate is a numbers game - the more properties you have - the more likely your chance of making a sale. Don't you think that its also interesting to find out why people pick a time like now to sell their properties? The market isn't at its peak - so why sell now? 2. For sale...

    Can you still get the tax deduction benefits?

    Makes sense Stu but was hoping there may be a loop hole around it :) Have to be creative in other ways I think

    Can you still get the tax deduction benefits?

    Curious question - that may be easy for the more investment savvy or finance brokers on here. If I was to purchase a property with another party - 50/50 - and the other party was to actually occupy the property as opposed to having a straight out third party tenant - would I still be able to...

    Tenant Request - Permission for a Goat!

    There's some lovely Frankston Leader stories of late for a resident who kept a goat in the "Cliff Rd" area of Frankston South. From memory, council vetoed the goat. Found a link for you - http://frankston-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/baaaah-humbug

    One for the Real Estate Agents

    Buzz, the reason the Vendor doesn't set his "reserve" until the morning of the auction is cos if the agent knows the vendors reserve (X) - they must quote the advertised price as "X plus buyers". Think there's a saying - quote 'em low and watch 'em go :)

    Buying in Frankston North

    I don't know the actual figures Righteous but a few REs have told me that there are many more DoH properties in Karingal than Fston Nth. Don't know if this is spin to make me consider buying in the North but its something to investigate. Hope someone on here has a better idea than me

    Noble Park

    My sister bought there about 18 mths ago - had about 30% growth pre-Eastlink. Not a bad location but some pockets are scary . . . there is quite a bit of development in the area however. Large blocks and it is a good location - easy to access just about every area this side of the city.

    Is A Bird In The Hand Worth Two In The Bush?

    Well, after a call from the first agent - he reckons the buyers getting a little edgy - I think i'll just cut and run. I don't want to be the one hold the ppty if the other buyer isn't there. Never looked at it that way Steveadl, good logic. I'll let you all know

    Is A Bird In The Hand Worth Two In The Bush?

    Some quick advice please! I currently have an investment property for sale in the Frankston LGA and have an offer at my acceptance price after 5 weeks. The settlement is a little longer than I prefer, great deposit - minimal conditions in the buyers favour (small amount of $ loan)...
