wow advertising, and not moderated toi death, how do you do it????

Everytime i hint that i help people I get dumped where others can market their properties and services free willy. Bit too unfair is my comment.

Yorker, at least they arent promoting the dud end of this fine country, ie rosebury. Hehehe, just kidding.

Thanks Mini, couldnt have said it myself as our friend Derek would have moderated me to death AGAIN!!!!

Yes Mgr you can get ripped off, and some people use services like mine to get their initial comfort level up on the first deal or so then go get em themselves. Dont be shy, I dont bite but I will defend my comments on here. To get a feel for…[Read more]

Thanks Geo, I basically fell into it really. Started by helping friends and business contacts through my computer business, then wife was asked if we could speak at a motivational group in Neutral Bay. 25 people there and one was Minimogul. She suggested some cool places to chat to investors and I tried this page and havent moved since.

I help…[Read more]

Ali, its always the way, as soon as you sign up for something or buy something, its a better deal or on sale down the road the next week, doh!!

I also have the backing of good property managers too. Thats where most landlords get caught out. We had a rental manager in Ipswich that had 10 of ours on the books and then within 6 months changed 3 of…[Read more]

Hey Geo, wouldnt transferring into a trust name mean double stamp duty??

Don’t sweat the small stuff,and it’s all small stuff!!

Derek, if I make a reference to a property, I give examples only. Never have I said an exact location or which agent it is through or exact deal numbers. I have used examples and some of my personal property info to possibly assist others. To talk around subjects and not give examples on a forum supposedly dedicated to helping newbies is quite…[Read more]

Although at first glance a PM’s fees seem a bit high, maybe the real cost to you of your time, emotional attachment, dispute resolution and general well being are well worth the money.

They do the footslog every day. Always let someone who does a job daily do the hard work for you. What they do easily takes you twice as long and with less…[Read more]

I have replied to this topic twice and been moderated to death. Who the hell is doing this as I put a lot of time and effort into this only to get back on and find my posts rremoved.

If you do remove posts at least have the curtesy to list who gets bumped and why.

A valid reason would be nice.

Pumpkin I charge $1500/property for the sale and offer discounts on legals/building and pest reports too. If a reno is needed Southside I offer a service there too. Geo is right that some but only a few real estates offer rebates to buyers agents.

I get an average of only $100.00 on settlement from most agents. I disclose everything as it is…[Read more]

I had a tenant robbed and the access was through the kitchen window. Through the agent I was asked if they could get a security screen for the window. 2 days later it was installed. These tenants have just signed up for a 12 month lease again so yes it does pay to listen to tenants.

The security screen cost me $80.00 plus install so 1) its the…[Read more]

Regan, as with all of the other people in here it is great to see younger people with thier heads screwed on. Good on you for getting it into your head to invest as I wish I had even 20 years ago when I was 22.

Now 42 and doing ok with it all, I think that someone in your shoes is set to take on the world and win. With the reduced costs of living…[Read more]

Hi Geo, I didnt get a mention there and I am again sad[confused2]. I havent seen HHH posts in here much but im sure they could put you in touch with customers who are happy with their services. Just a thought.

Yeah for the same $235k I could get you a 3 bed house with a 12 month rental guarantee of $150/wk and a 2 bedroom unit in a complex of three with an expected rent of $110/wk for $185k and thats without trying.

Make sure that the investment you want is the real one you need. Thats all im saying as I initially misread your “Medina” as being the…[Read more]

Got you covered KP, check your email.

Waysolid I have posts deleted all the time, one example is the “what to do with $15k” string. Because I gave an actual example of property available now that is neutrally priced if not positive, my post got deleted by a moderator in here who does what I dop and sources property for people. Seems that personal motivation is getting in the way of…[Read more]

KP Kp, its Brizzy, if you know where to look, know what to buy, and know what to do with it to make it hit the 7.5% gross in my books.

Im a buyers agent so be warned, nothing worthwhile is free so PM me if you want to talk.

Westan, always the sceptic. OK so you wouldnt, but neither would I based on location and being solely reliant on one industry in the area.

Yorker is confident about it so thats great. If we were all as stringent as you I personally wouldnt have a house overlooking the water in Coffs Harbour, three years after starting investing.

Ok so I am less…[Read more]

Wow Globe, sounds like you just missed the cheap houses by a couple of months. It is always a hard ask to turn around a negative property without going batty. With so little equity currently it is impossible to even peel out a deposit for something positive to partly fund the shortfall.

One seminar I went to recently said get 4 cashflow positive…[Read more]

The west coast of tassie, deals aplenty, agents none.

Not one agent has an office on the west coast, most manage to drive from Burnie or Devonport weekly for listings. There is not enough business to sustain an agent so what does this tell you??

Stay out, stay away and for those of you that wish to waste time and money in a 1 1/2 horse town…[Read more]

I have a house in Sydneys west available now. Where do you want to live??
