I agree, the few bad agents out there spoil it for the majority, annoys me almost as bad as people who can not spell simple words.[biggrin]

I imagine my solicitor would be very surprised if I signed a contract without it thoroughly being checked. He checks, I sign. That seems normal to me.

Excellent, I think everyone should do this and not be hurried into a contract because the agent wants it that way. At the very least you would want a subject to approval of solicitor on…[Read more]

If you find yourself compelled to check on a forum the minute you get back near your computer its time to rethink the situation.

I have been a net user (sounds bad) since ’95 and a forum/message board user since 1998, very heavy user I will admit until about 12mths ago. At its worst I even had to laeve visitors and check the board so enuff was…[Read more]

Your thoughts (my appologies to the REA’s up front)

I have buyers try to lowball, they just don’t get away with it [grad]

Many years and hundreds of sales give me a wee bit more negotiating experience than most buyers, BUT (taking off RE hat) how else can a buyer flush out the best price apart from trying it on. The trick is to get it low enough…[Read more]

You are correct builders do it but not on the same terms you would be up against.

Most builders get builders terms, that is they pay a deposit and get permission via the contract to build a home on the land and settlement terms usually are 6 – 12mths or sale which ever the shorter. So they get to build a new home without outlaying the money to…[Read more]

I peeked at E.Mcd’s profile and if the age is correct you will have a long and happy life in real estate, wise beyond your years.

I think this has been replied to quite well but will just second the thoughts of some.

True story, happened to a friend of a friend of mine [laughing]

Years back I put an advert into a newspaper for a rental property I was managing. Now I rarely had to advertise rentals as the walkin enquiry was so high it was annoying at times. However this time I did and instead of placing our franchise logo below the paper just ended the advert…[Read more]

The problem with this is the “POOLED FUNDS” being invested. Also 99% if not all of HYIP’s or High Yeild Investment Programs are fraudulent.

The ASIC investigation found that QN operated an illegal investment scheme by pooling and investing some of the funds received from investors in high yield schemes in Vanuatu and other offshore schemes…[Read more]

I understand this is not your real problem here but I never located tenants for someone to manage themselves, its not worth the liablity problems that can happen when something goes wrong just for a letting fee.

There must be a good PM in your area, I personally would prefer a agency with as separate a property management department as posible.…[Read more]

So you are blaming an agent for being ethical… very interesting.

Good choice Rob, I had not read this thread until now but agree with yours and others opinions on this one.

Remember PPP

Positive cashflow is great but position is very important.

btw if I could find a 150-170 property returning that rental I would consider buying it myself [suave2]

I could advise on what he/she has a problem with but I would need to see a copy of the Application.

100 point ID is normal these days with any professional PM so it can’t be that.

Any clues ?
