I intentionally left a few things out on my original post so am including the details here.

The auction is in Melbourne this Saturday 3rd July. I am close to one of the beneficiaries.
On the State Trustees auction page this auction is not listed. The beneficaries agreed to use another agent one not normally used by the ST so this maybe the reason…[Read more]

We have a type of joint venture with my brother in law.
We got the loan in our name but we each pay $52 per week towrds expenses etc.

When house is sold we each get 50/50 profits.
Now he is interstate and does nothing so he is virtually a silent money partner.

We drew up our own agreement which said both to agree when property is to be sold etc…[Read more]

I have just listed our house for private sale on the following site.
It costs $50 so was willing to see what happens.
Look at

You can actually get a Real Estate PM to find a tenant for you and then you manage the property. That is you sign a rental property agreement for a specific purpose (not an ongoing agreement)

We live in SE Qld. We bought a house in Woodridge November 2002 for $85,000 and thought that was good. They are now selling this type of house for about $170,000.
Wish I had known then I would have bought much more!
Prices are still going up but I believe are not selling as rapidly as a few weeks ago. All the buyers from Interstate BEWARE as the…[Read more]

Hello Muppet
The link has a “Under Construction” notice. How long ago were you using site?
Regards Casey

Thanks for replies. Have found out from Council that the house could be demolished as it is not heritage listed 1960’s and we maybe able to build new house, possibly units etc in its place.

The land is not large only 541m2.
It is on a main Road. We are also thinking of dividing the house down the middle with one carport each side.
Put in two…[Read more]

Thanks for replies.
The asking price for the house is $149,500 which is ridiculous. The sellerand Real Estate agent is just jumping on the bandwagon for booming prices.
I feel more like $120,000 to $125,000 is more like it.
Factor in re stumping etc to be done. We would do all work ourselves except restumping
We would not live there but purely…[Read more]

Only two left now!
One is tenanted one is vacant.
I am putting in offer now for untenated for $90,000 so I have to act quick and see if accepted

Hi
At the moment rent is $120 per week but with spruce up and all 4 done at once would cut costs up this would bring up rent.
They have just come on market so waiting for agent for more details. As soon as I have more will let you know

Something like this may be a possibility to run as a businees. Tourist attraction etc
I am sure it has been advertised before maybe contract crashed. Its on

I think that you need to be available to go to the house at any time.
We had mostly international students and some would not share with people from different countries etc.
The long term students we found would find their own houses.
The flooding of the laundry we could not prove as 6 people in the one house all said we didnt do it.
Someone…[Read more]

My opinion is no because:
They will try to get away with things whereas a property manager keeps the distance between you and the tenant.
But
I have still had to tell a PM that I want a notice served on a tenant when the PM has been reluctant too.

Hello
Woodridge is a mixture. Most of the HC houses were grouped together. These UR are very good as the whole street gets a makeover and it looks really good

Hi
Contact AIPM at the following and they can direct you to the best office that suits you
Springwood Qld 07 3386 5888

We have personally used Springwood office
You can say Kathryn Lucas recommended them.
They use to be called Property World

If you do not have a property manager get one as the tenants will try to get everything if they deal with landlord directly.
They signed the lease as is!
