I agree that the net is very good for identifying trends and price points but there are still so many properties with a sign out the front and no other advertising at all – strange! What I have been finding lately is that most of the net listings are very “stale” and are not selling for some (usually very good) reason. However, some of these do…[Read more]

Hi Fern,

What was the approximate costs to remove the home and level the site in your state.

Dazzling – when I was a teenager I was working on one of these jobs…[Read more]

Oh, try not to throw anything out till the end – recycle as much as you can re timber and bricks etc etc. But do stack it neatly and out of the way so the job is not a bomb site.

Hi Dinah,

Roof first -wouldn’t want rain to spoil all that painting and nice new fittings.

Then do the facade of the home to completion ie tart up the front fences driveways doors and windows. Make the place look inviting to tenants and buyers.

Order all the kitchen and bathroom pieces and have them ready to go. Don’t store them on site -…[Read more]

Hi JaneyQ,

Pick your management very carefully as bad management has got to be worse than a self manage. Don’t do it yourself. If you plan to build a large portfolio you will have to hand over the reigns eventually.

Ask the manager for a list of properties in their care and do a drive by inspection. You may be surprised how much you learn about…[Read more]

Hi Terry,

Yes this is a very common structure.

You can allocate many different types of shares to a shareholder and not every shareholder has the same rights in relation to voting.

It would be great if martin or even steve could contribute something on the forum once in a while! Others such as peter spann are happy to get on and answer questions. Not saying that they should or are obliged to just that it would be nice.

It’s been a while but contracts in NSW usually warrant that the purchaser is not relying on any parole statements made by agents or others in relation to the sale.

Hi C@34,

I have done a search for the one steve gave out in the newsletters of old.

I have been reading a bit on this lately and will be putting my own together. When I am finished I will post it up on the site or a link or something.

Not sure if the old newsletters are achieved or not?

Hi Guys,

I won’t post the links here but in the interest of fairness I can provide links to the county clerks offices in some us regions. They can tell you what the person or llc who is selling you a property brought it for a few weeks before.

Just edited myself (for the best i think)
