dr x and audrey 123 – how does it work? can you guys only deal with properties in your state or clients in your state

seems a little wishy washy. Would have to read how “otherwise dealing” has been interpreted.

If person x is interested in a piece of real estate, say a westfield plaza for example in the NSW and x then sends his employee to meet the parties, conduct research and due dilligence, establish business relationships and set up contacts and elicit the likely terms of a subsequent agreement is he breaking the law.

Probably not – otherwise every large firm would have to employ teams of real estate agents and buyers agents rather than more suitably qualified persons to conduct business and make serious decision about purchases.

Hi,

The regulation in this area is changing all the time. You will have to check the legislation in your state and decided on what sort of business model that you are going to use to be able to find and offer quality investment properties. There will be a way as the law is a wonderfull thing – have an open mind.

Even in NZ where I find properties some are still using flawed and old techniques that could have serious consequences for the buyer and the client. What you need to do is search your local legislation and get informed.

When you are informed enough to ask some good questions schedule and appointment with your legal people with notepad and even business plan in hand and ask away.

What I am seeing from recent forum discussion is that great deals are out there no matter what location you are in.

Motivated and skilled people will find them. Others won’t. People will tell you all day long that there are no deals like that anymore or those properties don’t exist.

Well I am here to say that great deals exist in all markets in all locations at all times. Your skill as an advocate or bird dog will have a very very significant impact on the quality of the deal that you are able to offer the client.

Plus it is pretty rewarding work when you find deals that add up.
One question: Are you buying for yourself as well as others. The whole process seems to have more of a natural flow if you do it that way.

If you have any questions feel free to email. I may be able to help.

Regards,

Don
