Thank you Kristine, Stanley and Superted for your very kind words. We have been very lucky (worked hard) to have found good agents and the professional team we now have around us. I suspose that time investment is paying off now. Super Ted - very easy to find decent people to rent your...

Cheers Great tool if you are looking at a new area, thanks for the info!! Regards Brojac

Long time no posts but I been lurking.... We just picked up IP number 8 and very happy. 2 bed, 1 bath unit in good 'burb in Cairns. $75k will rent for $150 with a bit of paint and a quick tidy up. Hummm, that even qualifies under the Steve McKnight "11 second rule" as a decent property...

I Agree. How on earth could you do your due dilligence? I think the idea from the initial thread was to take advantage of people whom are desperate or silly enough to take the offers and to take advantage of needy or unfortunate people. I think the agents would wise up to such tactics...

All we can say is "get insurance once your offer has been signed". Trust us...(Dirty stinking, rotten tree's....) Regards Tim PS If any one tells you different find someone else to give you advice. PPS why has this thread been moved to Propert Management????

Hi All Remember to get insurance (or at least ring a insurance company and go through the motions on the phone) when you place offers on properties. I believe once a contract has been signed the property is technically your responsibility. My Partner and I have just purchased a number of...

Hi Edmonton is a fair way out of town. There is a new shopping center near there with a coles in it. There is a new development going on around there also. Did not look at anything specifically around there though (due to its local). Thanks Asy for your kind words Regards Brojac

Yeah! An offer we put on another duplex in Whitfield has been accepted! More like two houses then a duplex as no dividing walls ect. Good return and regarded as one of Cairns best burbs. Regards Brojac

Hi Tim We were not strictly looking at any price range in particular. We have bought at sub $200k and just over $250k for 2 x 2Bed duplexes. Returns were the most important to us. All over 20 years old. We looked at all areas in Cairns but not the beaches. People are a little funny up...

Partner and I just got back from Cairns yesterday after three days (got to love the hudimity :-) ). I would like to thank Chris Gay from O'Connor and Gay Real Estate. This man was honest, followed up on all our enquiries and gave some great advice. He even went and inspected another duplex...

If by NQ you mean Cairns forget it. I have been told all the decent builders have a leat 18 months of CONTRACTS in front of the currently. The builders are actually helping with rentals at the Moments also, people are comming in from every where. For the Landscaping, drive ways, pools I ring...

What a Hoot Les and Brenda Thank you both very much for the most down to earth and by the the funniest property education speach I have ever seen. To those of you whom ever want to be insipred thalk to these people, they are fantastic. I would recommend a small note book for the main...

New concept I never thought that could happen (offering what the owner wanted and getting knocked back). Is this legal? It goes against the grain of what i thought i knew about contrat law. Sounds a little dutch :D to me. Regards Brojac

Which sucks.

Willair So what your saying here is I can tell my boss to go jump when he wants my paper work on time. Or my customer wants there stock delivered on time so I am too stressed? Sniff the morning coffee mate. If you cant do the job, as per the spces and contract (including completion date) do...

Steve mentioned you had to pay for the 5 year figures remember??? Perhaps just use the ten year figures and devide by 2. Regards Brojac

Hi Matt My partner have built a number of replicas and the outside is left very traditional but the inside is a modern as. I hate renovating (as I realize I suck at it) but make the place as functional as possible with all the mod cons without destroying the caracter. Remove what you want...

Not that there is anything wrong with that !!!

Get some RP data on the [property from another agent and tell the owner what happened!. I can not believe that s#@t some agaents go on with! Yes ASY is correct by law they are ment to submit all written offers. If the compnay is a franchise call the binking head office also. I know...

Hi Scott If I was you in this sitaution I would get the best pest inspector money can buy. You need to be certain that the roof will not fall in or the tenants will put their feet through the floors. A mate of mine has juts found a house in the Western burbs of Brisbane with termites. He paid...
