    REA Dirty Tricks!

    No this is not the case, I just wanted some answers to my original question. Interesting that the property is still on on realestate.com.au and is running 2 open houses this weekend. Still seems like a bluff to me.

    REA Dirty Tricks!

    But we don't care :P Have you experienced any dirty tricks Pinkboy? EDIT: Courtesy call at 21:30 doesn't seem too courteous. Maybe I'm reading into this too much but I believe he was with the vendor presenting offers. 21:30 is probably a good time to call as people would often have had a couple...

    Aggressive offer strategy

    Thank you all for your sage advice. Our pre-approval took longer than expected so we were unable to submit the offer to take the property off the market before the open houses. A family member went and said that it was very popular! We've since learned that the vendor wants a long settlement...

    Somerloft's rookie questions.

    Hi DT, yes, this is true. Ich bin besorgt about the lack of equity we can leverage from the initial home. I was hoping for an easy way to leverage some deposits. At least with the final solution to the debt question in place a deposit should be easier to get for the first IP. That pocketbook...
