Hi, I have recently bought Steve’s book and am desperate to find property for cashflow. Remember the more we help eachother the more our property values increase.[]

Not all properties are on the Internet, It can take some time for the agent to post the property on the Internet. Its worth picking some agents and visiting them for houses just listed, you may find some bargains that wont make the Internet because they are sold before they make it that far.
Just a thought..[]

My advice is to use the net to get an idea of what you’d like buy – look at what you get for your dollar (compare areas) and then hit the pavement.
Here’s an example: we decided on an area to target during the week, spent copious amounts of time online comparing dollar for property, available rentals etc etc… on the weekend we drove to “the area” and although the majority of houses were available online, a lot were not – an up and coming auction for a 50k house with good potential all round.
It’s not sit on your hands type of work, you really need to get out there and work hard, call agents, visit areas, buy books, learn, fall down (get back up again) fall down some more (up again!) and then finally all the hard work pays off.
personally…..I find the face to face meetings work much better. Decide where you want to invest and go there…meet a few locals and then have a few drinks with the local real estate ppl. Dont let on that you may be investing..act like you are looking for a family home. (well you are if you rent to a family LOL)
Face to face meeting also allows you to ask questions and guage their answers. Its soooo easy to lie over the telephone or in an email.
As Steve points out in his book….it is better to look like a local then an investor…and you will find people open up more to you if you approach them on their level.
The internet is great…but alot of people have bought property ‘sight unseen’ just to have disappointment. Rely on knowledge and a little gut instinct
[] Thankyou everyone you are all right! I guess i should be alittle more specific with my question. I would just like to know which suburbs or towns to check out.
I am selling cookware & tupperware my husband works from home with a new business I am on
mternity leave with a 9 month old growing teeth. and like everyone time is precious. I am not afraid of work I am just looking for some direction or guidance
Just be careful, people get all fired up about buying cheap property ie ACA and sealake..
which no offence to anyone who lives there, is a dying town thus why the property is cheap!!
no good having cheap property if you cant get tenants.
