    Agent NOT fined for Deceptive and Misleading practices

    The new form of BS marketing in my area from the RE pro's :rolleyes: is to advertise houses for sale as "for tender" which is flowing on from the "E.O.I" marketing strategy from 12 months ago. I always thought the best way to sell anything was to advertise a genuine price to attract a...

    Accommodation crisis - Higher rents on the way

    The AFR changes from one day to the next. I think they have cut and paste well and truely mastered. Take AFR articles with a grain of salt as they are guilty of sensationalism with the best of them.

    Housing slump holds rates

    The journalists forgot the inflation perspective as usual. Lack of a rate rise is based more on our present low levels of inflation then the softening housing market IMHO.

    Cheap Real Estate Agent

    Profit is a profit. If an agent didnt want to drop his commish to for a "sellable" property that was priced fairly ..then more fool them (you need to have the product to sell in the first place and control market share). Turnover and cashflow keep business's going. The argument that an...

    Buying in the US

    If your a foreign investor and you own property in the US for x years does that help you to get a green card/citizenship since you are self sufficient and proving you wont be a burden on their ss. And thus make followup purchase easier in some way?
