And we are no different.…[Read more]

tv last night said property boom busted
sales were down as a result of two inerest rate hikes

Hi Sue

There was a question what the market was doing. I was saying what the market was doing, what the confusion was. The Owner feels he wants 900 or so. The real estate did say they aim to get the people in…suckers….sorry, the property is worth the money

I rather be up front, this is what I want, not try and second guess. Personally I…[Read more]

ahhhh sorry to say there is no financial situation I havent seen in my work….

There is no family problem, or situation you can tell me which will horrify me….

I have dealt in debt collection.

What amazes me so often is they say they can barely make ends meet, and barely put food on the table, but I tell you, so many have a mobile…[Read more]

In 1977 I met my future hubby, in 1980 we got married, but we had bought a home before that. It cost me 29,000
my wage was $125 a week.

Today that same house is values at 650k, my wage is 1400 a fortnight (not week)

I think that speaks volumes, but then there was no first home’rs grant I could have and interest was appraoching 10%, going higher…[Read more]

I beleive 8 is lucky and 13 is unlucky as is four, be that Chinese or Japanese (number for death)

Hi

I have a friend who just placed his property on the market, 5 acres, somewhere..not going to say where…
Agent suggested this tactic:

Lets put the house and land on at say 850K plus, expect to get around 900k, but the lower price gets people interested and in…. setting it higher, eliminates people too soon.

They figure, get them in, get…[Read more]

Funny about China coming up, I was just going through some of my old photos.

I cant really say much economically as I am not interested really but….

Now, when I went to China, they were not far from vying for the Olympic games…hmm I am talking early 90’s here. Tiennamen (spelling?) had been and gone in terms of what happened, however the…[Read more]

goodluck

I rented a property in Brisb years ago, young then too.
AT one time we had managers, and they were damn hopeless, I felt like I was being treated like the village idiot. They let the tenants get behind. They damaged the stove and the bathroom tiles. Real Estate said they were old anyway.

Later, we self managed and that didnt help either. tenant…[Read more]

from my understanding, if the place is a risk, and your home is because of the situation (even though area may not be a good enough indicator- but in the same blcok would be) If the agents are aware of the problem, and you tell them you want the locks and the place secure, then they have a duty of care.

You have informed them, if anything happens…[Read more]

well obviously I dont know who is who on here, and who is in ‘bed with whom’ so to speak.

I like open discussions, and ok if someone disagrees with me or my post, I guess I will expect to get some comment, but truly people come on!!! There are a couple of messages on here that surely are a bit more of a personal attack and don’t belong…

Please…[Read more]

The agent you rent off should always have a set of keys, but another agent for selling purposes….hmmmn

Thought they would have to go through your agent…

you might want to check out a little more:

from the website:

to show the premises to prospective buyers, on a reasonable number of occasions if the tenant gets reasonable notice on each…[Read more]

try this web site

for NSW

depends:

were you informed that the property is on the market? Obviously not!

They should have told you.
You have a right of say, eg about times of entry for inspections, they can issue with a notice to enter, but they have to give you time (assuming QLD is the same as NSW)eg 24 hours

I suggest you talk to the tenancy people, and know your…[Read more]

hi “wewannabuy”

ok Elves- little? lol, I should have called myself gigantor. Just joking.

I dont have many properties, three I consider my own, three I rent out among other investments. My loans are less, but three properties dont produce income so I am in the process of changing this. My equity is more given my slackness in not using the funds…[Read more]

Hey I love the web and sharing info, golly I would be lost without it. I spend most of my life on a computer (work makes me) I spend equal time on here for personal pleasures and those are of the investment kind.

I love this forum, and I really love doing research, most of which I do online. I save a lot of time using a computer (even though…[Read more]

gosh I would be thinking to myself (as an owner) the PM has lost my keys! Careless Get them to explain what they did with my set of keys!

As a tenant I would be thinking $%#@! if they misplaced or lost the keys, and I rent it, who has my keys?

If this is the case I would be demanding for security reasons that the locks were changed.

PM’s are…[Read more]
