I a regular reader and minimal poster on this site and have a question: I want to try and buy a run down apartment and flip it within 12-18 months, has anyone had any recent experience with flipping an apartment so soon or is this type of strategy really only limited to houses where there is...

No, no renovation costs at all, My concerns are evidence, costs with invoices and receipts etc, a lot of the renovations were done ourselves, :confused:

Sorry if this sounds silly but.... Let's say I purchased for 500k and I sold for 700k Does that mean 200k divide by 36 x 9 = 50k less 50% meaning I would have to pay 25k straight out or is it a % of the 25k depending on what tax bracket we fall under? It seems I would have been better...

Has anyone had experience reading into maintenance reports? The block in which the apartment I'm looking at has just recently obtained a report on the block and has given a full expense rundown of what need to be replaced and looked at over the next 20 years of the buildings life. Some of the...

Our PPOR was originally built in 1890.... Building and Pest inspection a must!! Bought 2 years ago at Auction, I believe we were the only ones that did a Building inspection... I remember at a midweek inspection leading up to Auction I kept highlighting to my wife (amongst another interested...

Yes good point! :)

Looking at long term growth though, hold for 10 years and the decide what to do with the property..... Is that what you mean by solving problems?? I'm not in it to find something where I can flip in short term......

Thanks. To me I minimise my searching to: (Once I'm set on the location) 1. Blocks of less than 12 2. Train Station within 10 Minutes (Obviously looking at Inner City) 3. Street (Not main Road) which has minimal apartment to house ratio 4. Active and well managed Body Corporate 5...

What are the things a property must have before you you make an offer??? Who has a checklist that you use they would like to share........

Thats a solid backhand 'return' down the line. :D

Wow. Prices have really come off on Northside of Emerald, I went to Emerald last year to have a look around, Something like this would have been def 400 18 months ago.

Thanks, My opinion is the X Factor with all Boutique Blocks is you feel like you actually feel like you own the apartment rather than feeling like your one of many. You have control over Body corporate decisions and make an impact on what is done on the building???? Also generally much larger...
