Hi All in Adelaide,

I recently moved to Adelaide from Sydney (3 months ago) and have been in Temporary accomodation until last week when we moved to a rental house in MArion.

Hi Mermaids,
Don’t wait until August! You won’t find a +ve cash flow deal. You need to make them.

I am with jscott… The tenant (always refer to them as a buyer) must win. So too the seller and you in the middle.
I am currently finalising two sandwich (or back to back) lease options simutaneously which have taken far too long and cost far too much. I left my job nearly a year ago to jump in the deep end. I’ve come very close to throwing in…[Read more]
