Hi
I fully support Tools reply. In my employ where we deal with number of R & M works associated with Government Buildings eg Schools, Health Centres etc, it is absolutley imperitive to have any such works carried out by a registered “asbestos” professional. Here if things go wrong you hit the front page of the newspaper !!!
You certainly dont want to be placed in a liable situation & I would be contacting your local Work Health Authority with an armful of questions.Regards
Isnt anything less than $50.00 qualify in the sense of not having to provide a tax complient invoice…
i think the practice only works in the right market ie conditions are right for the strategy..interest rate rises, lots of property on the market, property been on the market for more than 2 months etc etc
by the way i dont think low balling has anything to do with ethics. if the price is too low the vendor should say no….
I agree with the above. In an escalating market which I fully experienced as an estate agent in Qld late 80’s the asking price to settle ratio was extremely minimal. The market was such a whirlwind – houses were on contract before the agency got to put the for sale sign up.
I personally bought a property at $91,500 asking price $93,000 at the time.I think it goes back to what determines the selling price when listed. Agents go around also at times advising the owner a high figure beleiving theyll get the listing v’s other more realistic agents appraisal $.
Owners get a certain expectation then……..like if you make and offer that is 20% less…Owners see this as “lost $” which was not there in the first place.
If you really do your homework then as an investor you know your $ and you by pass that deal till the next one comes along (and they always do). If its for personal use then the $ v’s personal requirements becomes less stringent.
Eg. I am haapy to make an offer at XXX$$$ because this locality is closer to work or where I intend to holiday on vacations.The $ are combined into a lifestyle equation.
You really have to be ruthless if its a business deal. All the vendor can say is No. I dont have a problem with that.Hi
I live in an area where the defence home phenomina has been around for a while now.
What has been pointed out to me is what happens after the 9 years or time frame … when these homes may hit the market. Either as private rental options or as sales.
In a regional area here it had a real impact on the market, my own family home dropped over 25 % in value to soak up the no. of DHA homes on market.
In smaller communities your capital return could well be at risk.
One other thing is the “defence of the North” changes in policy. What is going to be based where ?? A squadron of this and that will now be based at XXX. So what happened to the maket where they came from??Hi all
Been doing facts and figures for about 8 times round. If the ex who is a qualified builder…how do I go about having a win win out of this.
The prospective real estate lady advised me today it was difficult to list any current/prospective maintenance issues due to amount of furniture in house.
Im obviously going to have to have a detailed report at some stage…but how do I stitch something up like I know one air con doesnt work…..like when he becomes the tenant (and his woman of two years) I dont want to be exposed with a whole lot of “well shes paying for this now lets make our demands”.
Any ideas??
Also what if I just wiped the slate .He has to find elsewhere and I get freshies in??
Would a clause like i pay for materials to a certain value.without prior appoval on a negotiated rent reduction. Like its the family home but want my “business” interest protected.Hi
Agree with what written prior soil testing a must.
I have family there and visit at least once a year.
There was a trend to buy there from the 60+ folk I know into new duplex type housing that had more managable yards. The ones I know moved there from the south of the peninsula (yorks) basically to escape the wind and dust, and not to pay a fortune. As some of my relatives are ex NT they also like the warmer climate Pirie has to offer.
Now Im seeing in recent years the ones 75+ are moving back to Adelaide due to proximity to health facilities.Perhaps investigation here could provide a niche for investment.
My other cousins and an uncle who was born there have always said when it comes time for the kids education they have had to move on.
Anyhow I have always found Pirie a nice place & they have some great infrastructure.
So dont block it out.do some reseach I say with locals – especially older generation sitting outside woollies on a bench resting their legs.
Theyll have the grandkid stuff info to tell as well. Bless their hearts.Thanks for replies.
Yes all in the process of matrimonial “sorting out” who gets what, solictors in process of preparing docs. Its taken two years already but that was largely my delay on waiting for the new Super Laws to come in.!!!I would be appointing a property manager for sure & have already received a rental appraisal.
Suggest you really do your homework in that area.
Very low socio eco rental clientele. Also lots of social & vandalism issues.
Furthermore they have had issues with toxic waste dumping. So check it out thoroughly.
