Hi Elmo,I have sent you a PM.

Hi Mr Elmo,I sent you a PM a while back as you requested.  Did you receive it?Cheers.

I would pay $300, if anyone has a copy and wishes to get rid of it for this price?  (Sorry trustee, realise this is way below your price)I just can't justify paying any more than this as I am not sure that I would put it into practice any time in the near future!Cheers,JJ.

Hi eyefour,I will be moving to Perth soon and will also be interested in this.  Do you know of any yourself?

Matt,I disagree entirely.  If someone is receiving 'financial remuneration' (to use your term)  as a result of recommending or arranging a service for me then I expect to be made aware of this.  How can I be sure they are choosing the best supplier for the job, rather than the supplier which provides them the best 'financial remuneration'.Once I…[Read more]

Another company doing private sales is http://forsaleforlease.com.au.  They seem to be a very professional setup, although Landlordschoice looks cheaper.Makes you wonder how the agent justifies taking between $20,000 and $30,000 in commission!  (oops… likely to upset a couple of agents with that comment).

I think this might be the company:

Quote from their website:
“we also offer a 110% Money Back Guarantee that if we decide to take your project on”

She has a one day seminar in Brisbane coming up this weekend. Free. I’m sure it will be mostly a sales pitch but hey, it’s fee other than a day of my time so hopefully i’ll come away having learnt something.

The DVD’s typically sell on ebay for around $950.

Thanks for the advice Linar.  Will do as you suggested.I have been looking at the wording of the sunset clause and it seems very open ended… is it normal to have the following text which I have highlighted red?   (note, blue text is my shortened version of a section which seems fair and I have not included because it is quite long, but the re…[Read more]

Nah not the best idea because I have noticed the original solicitor was recommended to him by the agent.  Not saying there is anything dodgy going on, but feel he needs advice from someone who is completely independent.So can any solicitor who specialises in conveyancing be able to do this?  My concern with this approach is in my experience most c…[Read more]

great idea, definately agree. Shame there is no onthehouse.com.au equivalent for wa.

Are there any free websites where I can search for past sales history in Western Australia. I guess an “onthehouse.com.au” equivalent for WA?

In QLD, if you terminate based on the building and pest inspection you are obliged to provide a copy of the report if the owner requests it.

Mel_d01,

Which suburbs should be avoided?

Need to consider, if you wish to sell the property during the period of the fixed loan you will be up for break fees, which can be thousands .

Hi Daniel,The investsmart website has a good search function, and uses Australian Property Monitors data:http://www.investsmart.com.au/property/

I guess that's part of my question.  If I put in an offer via fax or email, is that binding at that point in time, or is it only binding at the time of having the contract signed by BOTH parties?  If it's not binding and both offers are accepted, it would then be my choice which offer to pursue.  (or is this unethical?)Alternatively, I submit an…[Read more]

Hi Adrian078,Did you have any luck locating this data?I too am interested to get this data into excel to allow myself to filter/query the data.For simple queries, you can use:http://www.investsmart.com.au/property/search.asp?QLD=1&OrderBy=1This website allows you to search by yield, median price growth, etc.  Still not as powerful as having the…[Read more]
