Sad to see the end of the most wonderful resource for Australian property investors. As a sometimes participator but mainly lurker I will miss the community. Thanks to every one. Cliff :)

I have made the executive decision let go of my extensive property investment - real estate library.... because they have caused me to suffer analysis paralysis for a long period of time. I have not had the time to do a complete inventory but I still have around 100 books (some double ups)...

scott&joy - I think you have nailed it. Definitely 2 garage and probably 10 m frontage. Search of BCC showed no recent DA application for the address. That implies that the development was 100% compliant and was probably signed off by a private certifier. Google provided a link to another forum...

Does anyone in the forum know of or has got a single storey/lowset past Council recently with a double garage on a 10m wide (narrow lot) block. Apparently it is possible even though it is against the intention of the code. I think two garages would add value when reselling rather than the...

Hi All, Further research found in the Qld Dept of Fair Trading publication "Real Estate Agency and Sales Practice Good Business Guide" found on page 18 "Statutory Disclosures Disclosure of Beneficial Interest to Seller Agents and their salespersons are placed in a position of trust by...

Hi all, The form 28 is the one I meant to mention. A further question I have to those who know... would this form (PAMD 28) need to be presented to a buyer if the selling agent is the owner (or part owner) of a property they are selling? Hound Dog :):)

In Qld doesn't the agent have to provide the buyer with a PAMD Form 27c prior to the signing or exchange of contracts. Perhaps some of our resident agents could provide a definitive answer. I am curious also. Hound Dog :):)

Hi All, Some time ago I asked questions regarding buyers agent's at auction and was duly answered. My question this time is to ask the forumites if it is possible for a buyers agent to bid annonomously at auction on clients behalf.To put it more precisely, is it possible for a buyers agent not...

Thanks for the replies. Propertunity you have answered the question I didnt ask re the power of attorney. I was trying to clarify in my mind how a BA could not be left holding the baby if their client rescinded on the agreement or was unable to complete the transaction. I believe in Qld the...

Hi All, Just wondering if a buyers agent has to register as a bidder at an auction in Qld or does the agents client register then give the paddle or bidders number to the agent? Do any of the forumites know the legalities involved? What is the case when the buyers agents' customer is absent...

With the internet now now firmly established as a real estate buyers media of choice for researching property for sale, do forumites have a stand out Real estate agents web site? I dont mean re.com or domain.com and the like, but a major chain (Ray White, LJ Hooker), large independant or small...

Hi All, Thank you for your replies Propertunity & fezz. I will now make use of Suburb View. It is more refined now than what I remember. Fezz you must be close to a genius. To develope an idea and turn it into something as practical and useful as Suburb View ... wow. Hound Dog

What a wonderful resource this forum has been over the years. Previously one forumite started a web site that let you search multiple(4 or 5) web sites (Australian) for property and kept all the results on one page. At the time I remember it was a great time saver, not having to flick from one...

Hi All, I am wondering who is the best lender to approach in terms of their criteria for loan approval for some one asset rich (lots of equity), income poor relatively speaking. In otherwords who will lend the largest amount of money with the lowest hurdles to jump over. I understand...

Marketing Interesting Thread I am in the process of developing PPOR in Brisbane. Have managed to sell the existing workers cotage and have been trying to flog one of the blocks of land myself. I am trying to find the media that gives me the best exposure and enquiry rate for my hard earned...

Hi All, I have just returned from the post office sending away an enrolment application with the Open Learning Institute of Tafe.At $225 per subject they might not be the cheapest but it will allow me to continue my current employment and to plug away at my own pace.I am not looking for...

Have any forumites furthered their Real Estate education by enrolling in some of the more formal courses that can lead to registration as a salesman/agency operator/property manager.There seems to be a few places REIQ,Open Learning Institute of tafe providing such training. Has anyone recently...
