Terri Scheer is the "other". There isn't much between the two and I would be happy with either (and have policies with both).

I would guess that price and contract conditions won it for you! Congratulations :)

And of course their research is only ever going to point to places where they were able to purchase and develop. The "help with finance" is just another area where they are taking commission. If you aren't confident in finding a place without their help, then I would suggest to also seek...

Significant financial gain I would suspect!

Just regarding the words you used, "Exchange tonight". Just be aware that if they ask you to sign a 66w form that will waive your rights to a cooling off period, meaning that you will lose your deposit if you try and pull out if building/pest or finance doesn't come through as expected. If...

Without knowing what this company does... I would be surprised if they can teach you anything that you can't learn on here and from free research. They may be able to offer more hand holding, but it will cost you in one way or another. Read a few books and sit on here for a couple of months...

Ah, so you haven't even had an open house yet? Don't fret too much about this, there are much worse things to look forward to in the future of being a landlord and this will seem like nothing! :D

Where is Dazz for a reply? I have been reading some of his old threads this week, where rents were doubled and quadrupled at the end of a lease!

That all depends on if $520/wk is reasonable and if there is demand in the area. You could always get her to sign at $520 and give her the first week for free? Effectively the same, however when it comes to upping the rent you are starting at the higher price point. But if $520 is...

As far as "repaying faster" goes, $1000/month into a P&I should produce the same results as $1000 into an IO with offset. The only difference is you can take the cash out of the offset whenever you like. This is a big advantage as you can then use this cash for other things. Edit: Beaten to...

Having a search I believe the place I was told about is "Guardian Property and Asset Mgmt". Office in Springwood. Is this the same company?

I'm the first to flag spam, however I actually heard the same sorts of kind words about this crowd only 1 week ago from a family member. At least I am pretty sure that the name was the same. But for a first post, this probably wasn't the smartest way to go :p

Well it sounds as though there aren't any other offers, as they would be quick to tell you if it were the case. Having "interest" and "contracts out" both mean nothing. They are just stalling as they hope, or believe, that other offers may come shortly and then they can play you against each...

I would have a phone line run instead of cable Internet. That way when someone moves in it is up to them to choose who they want to use for Internet and set up their own account etc.

I would think less. $300-320 gets you a house in some areas of the central coast.

Depends on the property and how that asking price stacks up against comparables. Only a month or two ago you could add 10-20% to some in that general area. Things "seem" to be not as hot though.

It would depend on references and the rent would need to come direct from centre link. I have had 2 of these tenants: 1) Had an abusive husband and had to escape with her kids and find a place to rent at short notice. No worries in the 2-3 years she was there. 2) Everying fine for 2 years...

Simple terms (some incorrect terminology used for the purposes of making it easy to understand): Bandwidth - An Internet connection is capable of downloading at a maximum speed, this speed varies depending on the connection. Let's say your maximum speed is "1000" (just to make it a simple...

I bought from them for the first time about a month ago. Next day delivery and was 30-40% cheaper than buying from the usual suspects. I was very impressed.

Which in most cases after tax is like having it in an offset account where the interest rate is 2-3%. So if your mortgage interest rate is above 3% then the offset account is the place to put it out of the two options :)
