    Trying to crunch an agent

    @ Westminster - What I have done is no different to what your BA did for you? All you did was really pay for an RP Data search.... As the property was purchased very long ago there are no contact details in Rp Data, I can't do a title search as I mentioned its a deceased estate and so the...

    Trying to crunch an agent

    Firstly, the agent cheated the vendors when they said it was possible to get the listed price. It's been almost 90 days with no sale. Why should an agent deserves almost $10k because they listed a property on real estate.com.au and just sent me a contract...

    Trying to crunch an agent

    Hey Need advice about crunching a deal. There is a property and it has been on the market for about 85 days. I requested the agent to send me a contract and seeing as there was no contact to the vendor I emailed the solicitor asking to ONLY pass my details onto the vendor seeing as the 90 day...

    Another Granny Flat question

    I have attached a photo for better clarification. The red is the property and the blue are all streets. There are no lane ways.

    Another Granny Flat question

    Thanks for that The property is not on a corner but has street frontage on the rear. So from my understand the block is 500m2 so it has to have setback of 4.5m if I want to erect a granny flat.

    Another Granny Flat question

    Hi guys I know there are lots of threads on granny flats but I can't seem to find the answer to a problem I have. If the rear of the property faces a street (not a lane way) what is the set back? Because it is the rear of the property is it 3 metres or is it the average distance of the...

    Selling my only IP

    Get rid of your mortgage broker, if they are using an online valuation tool to value your property they have no idea. They are most likely a dinosaur and to get up to speed they were sucked into buying into the online rp data valuation thing.

    For $300k? You are most likely looking at a unit unless you head far away to area's that are considered part of the Greater Sydney area but are not Sydney for a house. Best way to get CG and continue building your portfolio is to buy a run down property, fix it and then hopefully with ur...

    Dealing with Real estate agents, Selling my OTP apartment

    Section E is if the property sells for MORE than the appraised price. You are using the wrong formula to calculate the penalty. Section F refers to the penalty. The form rewards agents who get a higher final sale price than they originally quoted but penalised if they get less. I ran the numbers...

    Selling Property in 2013

    Ahhh Would you like me to apologise for that post? It was a brain waive that I thought seeing as the same practice takes place in commercial property. Face and Effective rents. Landlords always add incentives to so they can increase the rent and in turn increase value. If I offended...

    Dealing with Real estate agents, Selling my OTP apartment

    Check out this attached file. It is a new commission structure form I used that actually worked quite well. Get your solicitor to go over it but it virtually punishes the agent for over quoting and rewards them for getting the best price for your property.

    Buying/Valuing Land

    You are looking at the value the wrong way. You need to understand that property can't be technically valued like a stock can. All you can do is look at what comparables have sold for when it comes to residential. www.onthehouse.com.au is a good site for this. Find something you like in...

    When to start organising finance...

    I wasn't horrible, I was telling the truth. Putting yourself into over $500k worth of debt because it socially normal is not right. Any monkey can see that an OTP purchase in Melbourne will end in tears. 25% of OTP contracts crash in Melbourne's fringe estates because people are over paying...

    When to start organising finance...

    If you need 4-5 months to organise finance then your broker is not a good broker. Yes, its great to be prepared but for the OP he shouldn't worry about finance until March 2013.
