What about a guy (this was also on TV a while ago) who has the ‘problem’ of sleepwalking all night. During these sleepwalking periods he would thoroughly clean the house, like in scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom etc. Hehe you could just leave the dishes and never clean, coz this would all be magically been done during Mr Sheen’s nightly episodes. He wouldn’t remember any of it the next day.
How about some guy with the same ‘problem’ (I dunno why they called it a problem[}
])Personally I like the thought of just using one agent to sell a house.
If there are several agents trying to sell your house, they all are competing for the commission. They probably won’t care much about getting the best price for you …as long as they are the first one getting a buyer to sign the contract.
It’s not only about finding a buyer (any buyer) but the buyer who is willing to pay the best price.[]Hi Mel, well you seem to have everything worked out, finances etc.
I think it is a great opportunity for you to get into the Sydney market since you really like to anyway- this may be your best chance.As long as you will be able to finance it and service the amount (also after the 1st year), then why not?
May be you’ll have the opportunity in the future to purchase the other 25% as well, you’ll never know what will happen.
You sound as if you would really like to go ahead and I almost feel excited for you!
You have probably worked out all the ‘what ifs’ already.The worst that could happen is, but not very likely, that prices in Paddington would go down a little for a while but all you loose then is some time- it’s as you say, a very populair area and quite unique. So in the long term it should perform well, I should say.
Why not go ahead and follow your heart.If you want something badly you can make it work.
Hhmmm I know this is not very professional advice just I feel that you really really want to do this but are not 100% sure if you should. It’s a real big amount and this is scary I can imagine!
But it would be a shame if you pass this opportunity only to very much regret it later. Such a great feeling to own a Sydney property in a really good area, I can imagine.
You just have to decide what would be worse/easier for you, personally:
Not go ahead with it and very much regret it later,[8] or
Go ahead and when it doesn’t work out regret the purchase. You may have to sell.[8]
What would be easier for you to cope with?Of course, it is very much likely to work out like this:
Go ahead and never regret it.[^]Good luck with your decision, I’m sure after all this thought you will make the right one.[
]You seem disappointed when you think about not going through with this deal. I agree with Melbear.
You like the location and it’s what you want, to me it also seems such a shame to pass this one.Don’t forget that the rents will go up in time, so is it possible that this deal will become cf+ after a reasonable time?
Let us know what you decide![]Hi again Simon and Pisces.[
]
Just wanted to let you know that your advice was great and I took avantage of your ideas.I found a property where we do not HAVE to do any work, it’s OK as is and there’s a tenant with a lease till July.
Still the property has potential for adding value, e.g. there’s a driveway but no garage or carport. There’s no pergola or BBQ area in backyard. There’s no frontgate and no plants or shrubs in the front or backyards, just lawn.
So a very basic property, as basic as they come!
We can take a while to make these improvements, then refinance it.[^]So thanks.
Hehehe thanks Sue, they never have called me organised before[
