G'day everyone,
I'm new to this forum and don't know whether this has been suggested before or not, but here goes...
I know that some investors buy interstate and don't neccesarily have the time or opportunity to travel and inspect properties face to face. Of course I am aware that building and pest inspections can be carried out, and have their merit, but it doesn't actually replace the benefit of someone walking through the property or someone taking some additional photos of the steetscape and neighbours etc.
What I am suggesting is that perhaps SS members can assist each other by fulfilling this role. Maybe there could be some sort of data-base where members could put down their location and availability to have a look at properties for other SS members. It doesn't need to be time consuming, and I am sure that some kind of incentive would help, (for example a bottle of wine or a few beers) compensate for an hour or so of their time.
What does everyone else think? Is this a feasible idea?
I'll be first off the rank. I am currently living in Darwin, and if anyone is seriously looking at a particular property and they want a few extra pics taken, or my personal opinion of the property, then just send me a PM and I'll see what I can do on a Sat or Sun.
Cheers,
Phil
