Just a handy tip re taxes. Any state taxes can be found at http://www.osr.nsw.gov.au as in Office of State Revenue, and any federal taxes can be found at http://www.ato.gov.au (Australian Tax Office). Both are pretty easy to navigate.

With regards to what? It sounds like a state thing to me, at a guess something to do with working out tax? Little more info.

My advise in having a career in real estate, is to be an investor in it, and not an agent. Easier said than done though.

Even if it were illegal to BS about the condition of the vendor, how could you possibly police it? Someone would come in and say “You didn’t really have to sell it today”, and they would turn around and say “yes i did”, who would argue.

I know I didn’t say that clear, but did you get the point?

Licensing what? I am not suggesting anyone acts as an agent. No one would be taking a fee, or claiming expertise in anything, people would it could just be a good forum for perspective business partners to meet. You’re allowed to stick an ad in the paper, why not a post on the internet?

Hi,

Don’t listen to a word any real estate agent says ever! Just kidding… well mostly. The real point is, don’t let anyone tell you something can’t be done, try it and find out for yourself. It is true alot of vendors will say no, but alot will say yes too.

The house I am currently living in, I have bought with a 7 month settlement (haven’t…[Read more]

Hi All,

Thanks lots to Quiggles and Weston for the valuable info. Especially Quiggles SS posts, they were great!!

Couple more questions… Weston, have you been able to get any higher LVR that 80%? I know in the US there seems to be a million hidden costs, realistically, what cash on cash can you expect at the end of the day? And last of all, is…[Read more]

Hey,

All the guys have told you to do your homework first, and I fully agree. Don’t rush, as they say, the deal of a lifetime comes up about once a week. You will be amazed once you start looking for them, how unspecial this deal you are looking at will turn out to be.

In the mean time, here is a good start to your homework. Note the dollars I…[Read more]

An option gives you the option but not the obligation tto buy the property, so you don’t have to write in any “subject to” clauses, such as the subject to zoning clause. If you are trying to get out of the option fee all together if the property does not get rezoned, this will not happen, because the vendor has nothing to gain from it.

As for a…[Read more]

Byronent took the words right out of my mouth when he said how long is a piece of string. If you are talking waterfront Sydney harbour, many millions, if you are talking waterfront somewhere on the coast of WA, I would suspect a couple of dollars (just jokes, but you get the point).

One thing to note however, is that the building prices do not…[Read more]

Hey,

Do whatever makes you money. If you are successfull at renos (proberbly helps if you enjoy it), spend your time at that. If you are not making money, or get bored, branch out.

Sorry, just realised how unclear my question was. I meant a QS to prepare costing to get the construction loan (ie. the townhouses would not be built).

Cheers Ausprop, you have been really helpfull. In another post I did, I asked for ball park figures regarding the cost per unit. The answer I got (and i understand it is rough) was $10,000 per square. How many of the above items would have already been built into this estimate do you think? (Or anyone else that might know the…[Read more]

Cheers Ausprop, Sorry to be a pain, but is there any chance you can tell me what these mean, and give me a rough estimate of cost based on 10 units.

Much Appriciated,

A little off the topic, but how much is a square in terms of square meters? Is it 1 square = 10m2?
