Hi Rachel, Good agents (both buyers agents and selling) do exist - but they are like gold. I met Neil Jenman many years ago when I worked in a Real Estate office down south... Yes - he is controversial but once you read his book - will open your eyes to much of the misleading tricks that...

Refer to both Invstor & Yadreamin, I know of a number of people doing very nicely out of this strategy. It certainly would however be easier without children - those I know doing it well present their homes as new (ie., look as thou they are professionally styled) while they live in them...

Hi Jonesy, Blake and anyone else interested in Bendigo, I'm about to put a property on the market in Bendigo that I've held for many years. Its a basic 3bedrm brick house and rents out at $200 per week. I'm looking to clear $200K (so will need to sell for around $207K if going thru agent)...

Your build will have statutory inspections done along the way independent of the builder. Why not ask your builder to email you photos of the jobsite once a week?

Hi Mech 81, Terry Ryder recently mentioned at a meeting that Toowoomba hot spot. I like Toowoomba from the perspective of it's scale (large town), proximity to other centres such as Brisbane, base for the Surat Basin and other mining developments, stability - is an established place with...

Grants Hi Ace in the Hole, My understanding from the gov is that you would qualify - I rang them when we were quoting out 2 townhouses on the one title (to be strata titled on completion) at Chinchilla (we operate from Bris, Sunny Coast, Gympie & then out to Chinchilla and back to Bris...

I'm about to put three on the market all with tenants in them - 1 in Bendigo and the other 2 in Gympie. There is a process of notifying tenants and correct process. Seek advice from your state's equivalent to the RTA

I used Quotify last week. I'm astounded that they charge you as the painter so much per lead. The reason I'm astounded however is due to out of the 3 painters that it recommended me to - who I immediately called and left messages for and they got sent my details - not 1 has come back to me...

It is a rare PM to diligently even collect rent these days. I've just had huge problems with another tenancy due to PM negligence. As properties come up for renewal I'm taking on the management myself - simply can't do a worse job with the expensive run I've had.

My guess is we wouldn't all be on this forum if we believed that term deposits were a long term better option. If you are a purely passive investor and don't want to make any decisions after investing your money then sure TD way to go.... However, consider that there are some fantastic...

Agree with most here. As with any industry alot of it comes down to people. Both you and your builder are investing alot in getting your home to completion so be sure you trust and get along with them and that EVERYTHING is covered up front. If you have a conversation, follow it up with...

I hear you - we've had negotiations stall on both sales and purchases until we got to the table with the other party. Some suggestions: - You could ask the agent organise a joint meeting with all parties at the table - write your preferred terms on paper with a request to meet directly with...

You may find this useful... with all my lease agreements I have them end on a Monday (regardless of when they start - you don't have to be exactly 12 months for example). This gives the tenants the weekend before their lease ends time to move out and clean and I expect that the PM (where I...

I have property in Drouin and Bendigo in Vic - happy with both and both fit your price range.

Hi Sash, Simply a case of over promising and very much under delivering. The only one of their 8 steps that they even attempted to deliver on was as a buyers agent and their negotiation skills were extremely lacking. Communication wasn't a priority - their focus appeared to be on gathering a...

Hi Sassarassa, I'm in agreeance with the posts above. The other consideration you should consider is your ability to finance the project for either the 10 or 17 dwellings development. Either way will be commercial finance - talking to a financier (email me if you'd like a recommendation)...
