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...

Just like looking for the agent that charges the least - same same :)

I'll throw another name into the mix - EBM Insurance. $260 or so a year - specialists in LL insurance and could answer every "what if" I could throw at them. www.ebminsurance.com.au

Excellent little trick :)

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

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...

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

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 :)

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

MonSqueek if you think your current agent is giving you a -ve wrap, you probably know the reasons why you haven't been able to get a rental. I just rented out a ppty and my concerns were - was the rent always paid on time and in full installments, how do they present themselves and will the...

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.

Hi Nick, I have an IP near Bentons Sq shopping centre. Little 2 bed unit with single garage - rented at $230pw - good return as the majority in complex are getting approx. $200 pw. As a preference - I would say go beachside of Highway. You can get some large blocks for future dev. close to...

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

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)...

I agree with Buzz - having turned my PPOR to an IP - the water bill isn't much less than when I was living there due to the supply and parks charges every quarter. The usage is always paid by the tenant in Vic - just inform your water board if you want to double check I guess.

As I understand cancelling contracts, the $440 would be for what's called recinding the contract. If you want to walk away from the contract, its not as simple as just saying - I changed my mind. Basically, the party who has caused the delay in settlement has 14 days to rectify the cause...

I think if you didn't want to get into a bidding war you should have taken the option 2 approach as suggested by Go-anna. I agree with Shady - it's business, don't get emotional.

Go for an agency where you can deal with someone - like the director - who knows what they are talking about and who knows how to deal with buyers like us. Some 20 year old kid who runs around opening doors and showing people thru isn't going to be able to deal with a buyer/investor like Harris...

Just missed out on a 2br unit in Bonbeach, quoting $240k plus and sold for $288k. I was one of 7 buyers (private sale). Can't tell me the market isn't still good in the bayside area
