Interesting in hearing, what was the verdict on this?

YES!

We wrote a business plan and found it fundamental for us. We are operating as a family group and found that the plan did two things for us:

1. Allowed us to see how we’d operate as a group on a small project (i.e. putting together the plan itself)
2. Aligned all of our goals to ensure that we’re all on the same page at all times.

Hi Pippa,

My brother and sister and I (as well as 2 partners) have just started in a family based property venture. We had many concerns when starting this up as to how it would impact on our family life. Some concerns that we had were:

1. Being able to seperate family and business.
2. Issues with family members not involved.
3. What happens in…[Read more]

Hi,

There are a few suburbs with bad reps in Melbourne, many have been turned around and many are planned for improved government funding. If you have a search around, you’ll see that there are many “Western Suburbs” which have been earmarked as transit cities, these areas are getting government cash injections in improve these cities, public…[Read more]

Sounds good, I’m 24 and based in Melbourne, always willing to share my experiences and learn/leverage off others.

Probably, if anyone asks, the letters had blown onto the street as well as the newspapers, I happened to glance down at the letters when I was returning them. [thumbsup2]

Thanks for the feedback guys, certainly alot of ideas and many I’ll be taking on board and putting into action. Might avoid the criminal ones, thanks anyway [thumbsupanim]

I’ll keep you posted and let you know what works.

One step ahead of you, already onto it [biggrin]

Thanks again

Thanks Agave, I’ll give that a try. Unfortunately by the look of the overflowing mail box I don’t think that the redirection is in place, however you never know.

Is the title search that you speak of an online facility through your council or do you need to go into the office?

Cheers

Hi Richard,

Does RP Data allow you to access contact details for a properties
owner?

Ah, just noticed that its only available for NSW/QLD properties, I’m in VIC so its not an option through RP DATA.

Any ideas why? Any alternatives anyone can suggest?

Hey Snowflake,

Dual occupancy permits will differ based on your council. Can you be more specific?

Hi guys,

Looking for a good, property savy solicitor in either the Melb CBD, Western suburbs (Oak Park/Glenroy) or Eastern Suburbs (Ringwood).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

No but seriously, have you thought of undertaking any projects that might make this land more appealing to buyers/investors. Perhaps getting planning permits or subdividing may make this a more sellable property.

Obviously its location, zoning, condition, suitability for buyers, etc are all going to contribute to the demand from your buyers. What…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback guys, onwards and upwards!!

G’day Scott,

Thanks for your prompt reply (you too Just Learning).

We’ve scoped two initial projects:

2. Acquire and renovate an existing property, with ability to sub divide block and build a townhouse/unit on the second block.

Essentially where we are…[Read more]

Hi Richard,

I suppose both:

1. Say I have an existing house on a block and want to subdivide the block such that the existing house is on one block and there is a second block capable of sale or building of a seperate property.

2. Say I have a vacant block and wish to build units on that block.

Obviously the details for each councils will…[Read more]
