I'm contemplating off-loading one of my Morphett Vale properties, but don't have much free time to get to opens or auctions to get a feel for this market. For the people on the ground in/around that area have you noticed any pick up in demand/prices this year??? I've noticed the affordable...

Negotiated on 3 different commercial properties in Adelaide over the past 12 mths- went in low and managed to get a 10% discount on all (from list price), not sure if this is standard realestate agent method (advertising 10% higher than expected sale price), or just a reflection of the subdued...

Thats the plan Stan! This is development project number 2, my aim is for 20% ROI in 12 mths. My first project wasn't so crash hot so this one I have better hopes for, you can check out my other thread here: http://somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96564 STRATEGY: Purchace corner...

has anyone done a subdivision that needed power & phone (overhead power/phone lines in old suburb in Adelaide) brought from across the road (small residential road/ side street), how much did it cost you for the works all up? I've found a nice corner block suitable for subdivide and retain-...

I'm not sure if it is just frustration that I keep getting outbid or out offered, on subdividable properties that I am starting to think of more drastic measures to achieve my goal- which is to buy a poroperty that I can subdivide the back yard off of and retain the existing front house. A...

Well, not the amazing 20% ROI developers look for but better than a poke in the eye, for a first try anyway... Project: Retain front house and subdivide off the back yard then build a new house on the hammerhead style block, long term holds. Timeline: 3 years to completion (thought it'd...

So I'm interested in bidding at Auction on a property that is tennanted, do privacy laws prevent me from seeing the lease before sale? I'd also like to see the inspection sheet too, what do you think my chances are? Oviously I want to check I wouldn't be inheriting a nightmare tennant, would...

I'm having a quiet day at work, so thought I'd share my thoughts on the Adelaide market; I'm feeling positive that the next 12 months will be good for CG, and about time, after the last few years of flat and slightly backwards growth, with current record low interest rates and the last quarter...

Hmmm, what to do to improve the appearance of a bright pink terazzo bathroom floor? Would love some ideas from you guys. It is in good condition/ solid/no cracks etc. I'm looking for a quick/cheap cosmetic upgrade so not too keen to jack hammer out and lay new tiles. The floor edges curve...

I've spent the morning ringing around a few agencies to find out what my legal obligations as a landlord are for safety pertaining to a fish pond on my rental property: Fish ponds are exempt from pool and safety fencing requirements per the Australian Building commision website: "What are...

Anyone else had this occur to them? Tennant's dog has put its paw under the colourbond fence (about 1 inch gap between grass and bottom of fence) it's sliced its paw open and resulted in an expensive vet bill for surgury. I DO NOT believe I am liable for damages as the property is in a...

I'm hoping to get a better revaluation from the bank, I've got a tripple fronted 1950's house with paint peeling off the gutters, timber windows and eves, seriously, I think the last time the house was painted would have been 30 years ago. So if I spend $200 on paint, and roll up my sleves...
