Hi All
A little update, I do not get it, all the blaa blaa about not being able to afford a house and here I am with a fully renovated 3 by 1 for $300k and no one will buy it? I do not get it! all the youguns want the 4 x 2 with a pool and theatre room ?
I have had a lot of interest in the Rent to buy, I had one women who signed the heads of agreement for no1 (note not official until the actual contract signed and that takes a little time thru a lawyer) only to have a fellow contact me and then came out to have a look the next day and hopefully sign up on no2 B4 it was finished.
He said he wanted both, well I rang lady A and she said go for it, so I started negotiations with the fellow. We had emails flying both ways for a week. The last email I had from him was I think we have a deal. Well I have not heard from him since. No replies to emails or phone calls!!!!!!!!!
So I ran lady 1 do you still want it? " yes" ok re organise the signing of the paper work. Well after trying to organise a meet 4 times she stopped returning my calls or answering the phone!!!!!!!!RRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Why can't people just say " Sorry I've changed my mind"
Any way, back to square one.
I did take a break, I went with my girls to Melbourne to visit my family and do a little shopping.
The plan is to advertise for a couple more weeks and if no luck, in goes some tenanats for a while.
Prospects so far, I had a young guy interested before xmas, He needed 1 month to sort out finance, funds in long term accounts or something. So I will ring him this week. I women rang for info on the day I left for Melbourne, will follow up on her this week. A guy from Qld relocating, he has changed his mind about buying for alittle while so I will follow up on him a little further regarding renting one of them - he works in federal gov't.
I have had 2 queries today from the rent to buy site so will keep following them up and one who rang on the weekend who spotted my sign.
So, a few to follow up on, and I will have a home open on sunday.
I am still slugging away on no.2 I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Will post some happy snaps in the next few days.

Funny you said that.......
As the market is Blaaaaaaaaaaa...
I have just put in motion a new business plan, I will be offering my services to organise renovations, my target market is 1-2 bed apartments.
I have purchased some fancy 3d architectual software and I've have been networking around the trade. I am trying to figure out a trading name to get some cards made up etc etc.
In the mean time I have just helped out a friend with her reno. Check this - full 3 x 1 house new kitchen / bathroom / laundry / flooring and converted part of the main bedroom to an ensuite in 1 month.....
I am currently renovating an apartment in Vic Park as the Tenant moved out and it's time to move it on, should be finished and on the market end of july.
I have a bit of a hold up due to holidays - off to Broome for a week tomorrow and then KL early July. I am also waiting on new aliminium sliding door for the patio.
And the new stamp duty to take affect.
Any ideas for a business name, I am after something short a sharp. Like WEB Firm - easy to remember / spell and tells you exactly what they do.
See you guys in a week, I will start the apartment reno thread.

Hi Celeste, your renos are absolutely awesome. Glad you are thinking about going into business doing this. As a jack of all trades I am sure you will go great guns.
