I don't know about other states but in QLD a tenant can't just break a fixed term lease and get out of it. Tenants can leave but they have to either continue paying until the agreement ends or find someone else to replace them for the remaining duration of the agreement. You can also threaten...

Books, websites, etc are all good but also going out there, finding properties and meeting with agents and inspecting them (even thought you are not ready to buy) is also very helpful. You will build relationships with agents and will learn what to look out for when inspecting. It will also make...

Sometimes if you just google the address of the property you might be able to find the history of your property on websites like onthehouse, house.ksou, etc in the search results. Andrew

One thing to point out is that furnishing a place and/or including utilities might make the property more appealing to rent to the right demographic, however it also makes it easier for tenants to move out. They don't have to worry about canceling utilities and moving their furniture, etc Andrew

what is the vacancy rate in this suburb? Andrew

Be careful, most low cost offers will give you logos based on templates they have used before for others. It would probably take them 5 min to make you the logo So you could find someone that has a very similar logo to yours with just a different name. Not likely but worth noting. Cheers...

I would ask owner for financial records to check net income and periods rooms were vacant. Cheers Andrew

I guess they are indirectly donating by foregoing the advertisement money they would be getting if they didn't advertise for the relief appeal but for some credit card instead... Or they could advertise for the credit card and donate all the money they would make from it. Well at least...

Getting a nice looking and user friendly site up and running is not very hard. RE.com.au is quite a basic site with basic features and not a good one either. It also looks pretty outdated and doesn't use the latest technologies. They just have most of the traffic. That is agents listing...

Here are 4 that are under $500. One of them is $200. There are many more. http://realestateyourway.com.au/sell-house-private-real-estate/no-agent-property/Listing-prices-and-packages http://nomorecommission.com.au/ http://realprivate.com.au/ http://www.propertynow.com.au/ Cheers...

Each council has their own. This is for Brisbane: https://pdonline.brisbane.qld.gov.au/masterplan/default.aspx It would be nice to have one place for all. Cheers Andrew

You could buy an investment property now and borrow as much as you can ( >90%) and park your funds in an offset account. When it's time to purchase your PPOR you can use your funds in the offset account for the deposit. This will allow you to maximize your deductible debt from day one and...

A possible way to calculate capital gain/loss could be to: 1. Calculate capital gain/loss of 50% of the property from 2009 to 2015 2. Calculate capital gain/loss of the other 50% from purchase date to 2015 Capital Gain/Loss will then be the combination. Not sure though. Maybe one of the...

Doesn't sound like a top agent. He should be able to advise you on your options. If you've had a few people inspect it and they didn't take it, then most likely rent is too high. Your options are to either drop rent or include utilities like electricity, internet, etc or add furniture/white...

When you see that your opponent is hurt, you let your guard down and tend to play with less intensity because you think you will win and don't give it 100% anymore.

I was thinking exactly the same. Definitely playing games. I find that Murray is not so good at mind games and can't handle them. A shame Fed and Rafa went out so early.

If you have all these questions then I would not recommend doing short-term/daily trading. I't won't end up well. Try a demo account with fake money and see how you go. If you can consistently make returns and your overall gain is higher than your overall loss for at least 3 months then go...

1. A big YES 2. Another big YES. 3. Yes and internet. You have to if you rent each room individually. 4. Yes.

It's nearly impossible to get a house in St Lucia and surrounding suburbs for that price. If you want to buy a house for that budget you will probably need to go towards Kenmore. If you do end up buying him a property, I would recommend a 2 bedroom unit in St Lucia. He can use one room for...

I'd add an expiration to the offer to force them to act. Why not play their game a little too. You can also add a few psychological tactics, like they do. As previously mentioned, don't get too emotionally involved in it. Look at the numbers, then make your offer and add an expiration. If...
