Hi Dr.X
I did a valuation search at Titles Office, this gives you the owner and contact details. If it owned by a company it may not give you a person’s name, but it will still provide you with a postal address for the owner.

Is this the sort of info you are after?

Hi Cata

Sorry to jump in, but I have started a similar thread, looking for advice. Would I also be able to email you also [blush2]?

Hi Crusher

You are totally right.

I realise I need to pay the bucks to begin with, however it will have to wait until we have some bucks in order to pay it out again[blink].

This is only part of my query however. I am also after recommendations as to who in Brisbane would be good to speak with. I have heard tales (probably tall, but…[Read more]

If anyone could make some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. please….

sorry…..I’m in Brissy…

Great information Mapleleaf!

Do you know anyone in Bris that could help with my financial questions and do I need to sell the car to pay for the advice?

I really want to get started now…deep breaths basil!!! [glum2]

I know it will work out in the end, and thank you again Mapleleaf.

In the few weeks since initially posting this, it’s fair to say that I know there are properties out there, just waiting for me to grab them…but my current knowledge base needs to be expanded.

As GR rightly pointed out, I need more information when it comes to the fundamentals such as the structure of the business (ie company’s and trusts,…[Read more]

What i would say is make sure that the properties are not X collarilised and i also have a preference of keeping the PPOR loan and the IP loan with separate lenders to reduce any liability issues.

The other important consideration is the entity in which you purchase the IP property should probably not be…[Read more]

Hi there Fernfurn.

I am afraid looking at someone else’s litter doesn’t always reflect the true situation. As a staunch whole & organic food advocate, I know that it is sometimes – no, almost always – cheaper to eat junk food…particularly pizza & coke!!! (YUK!).

And what of the idea that a single parent, with two children, who is possibly at…[Read more]

Wow Shwing..
A tricky situation and a good example to highlight that things aren’t always clear-cut.
Thanks

Hi Jaffasoft.

What you are doing is fantastic. I am considering doing an owner builder course (have been for some time), and have helped in the renovation of a couple of properties. I see oportunities everywhere, however, current financial constraints mean that I am probably going to need to get some assistance from somewhere!

I currently have a…[Read more]

Ahhhhh. The wise and praise worthy, Jiminy Cricket.

Great feedback everyone!

I have to say Dazzle, you made some really good points in relation to the use of emotive words. I have to agree with you in that one person’s ‘ruthless’ is anothers kindness, and as such can certainly not be considered as any sort of measuring stick.

If I remove the word ruthless and replace it with, say, ambivalence…[Read more]

The example given to me the other day was as follows:

A tennant is in place, they have just lost their job but are sure they will be starting work again in a couple of weeks. They will be able to sort out any outstanding debt when they get their next pay – or over a couple of pays.

I did not want to evict them. The person I was talking to said…[Read more]

Hi there leewizza
I just had a quick look at Mt Macedon Coucil website (http://www.macedon-ranges.vic.gov.au/Page/page.asp?Page_Id=555&h=1) and though I did not look deeply, I think it will probably answer your question as to why your grandmother can not subdivide.
Let me know if the site was any help.
I do know that depending on what the land is…[Read more]

Hi there k3ymaker!

Whilst I don’t know the first thing about becoming a real estate agent, this site has shown me that if you make it your goal, you can do anything!

Escaping the confines of the comfort zone is an awesome step…enjoy the journey along your chosen path![thumbsupanim]

Hi Jenny
We just did a ‘Valuation’ search at the Titles Office (Dept Nat Resources), This provides you with a name and contact address for the owner of the property, also the price they paid, the current Govt considered value, and various other information, at a cost of around $11.50 (give or take a few cents). Definately stay clear of RE agents -…[Read more]
