Hey everyone,I am a real estate agent in training and in my opinion to "SMS" buyers like that although not illegal…it's VERY DAMN LAZY of the agent in question.  My training has been all about customer service standing out from other agents (in a positive way lol).  If it were me, I would go through the buyers log and PERSONALLY CALL whomever I…[Read more]

Hey all,I have to admit that there are agents who are sexist, even if they don't realise it.  I am an agent in training in Brisbane and we have been trained to ABSOLUTLY NOT favour one over another as BOTH parties usually have a say in the decision.  The company I work for do try to stand out from the rest though.Karl

Cheers guys,this gives us a few good ideas, thanks

Hey all,

I live in Ipswich, and yes it has a bad name. But therein lies the profits. I like it when everyone bags out a place. Ipswich is approx 40km SW of Brisbane, on a train line. The notrh bank of the river is being developed, a 4 star hotel is being build in the city, and among other things, Brisbane can really only expand outward towards…[Read more]

Hey Brett,

Firstly, good one for starting now at 21. Wish I had.

While I don’t have all the answers for specifics, my only real advice would be to start now and don’t procrastinate. As you’ve stated you have found a few possibilities. Pick one and go for it.

Don’t worry too much yet about mistakes. Truth be told the more mistakes made the more…[Read more]

Thanks Terry but tried bantacs, they never phoned us back, when we phoned them they said they would email us never did etc. Dont wont that kind of relationship with an accountant. We are looking for someone who is going to work for us. Thanks anyway.

Does this sound familiar? This happened just this evening…

“Hello, am I speaking to the account holder for this phone? Yes? Your number had been picked and you’ve won a new mobile phone + accessories pack and a CD player.”

Me:
cool

hihopes,

We had a similar situation to dazzling. We bought our recent IP and rented it through the same agency because the selling agent told us we could have 2 months free management if we go through them (the rental team apparently don’t like him doing this). Well, you get nothing for free and it’s what we got…NOTHING. No calls, no updates…[Read more]

Hey guys,

I have a VISA debit card from CUA and I didn’t have to go through ANY of the usual checking that goes with applying for a credit card. The only requirement is that their records show that my paycheck went into the bank account that the card is linked to.

PurpleKiss,

Wow, some very good points there – thanks. Our unit in cairns in rented at under market value till July/August plus some minor additions should also help bring that closer to being covered (I think at the moment we are approx $80 – $100 short per week there). As far as the other goes, we had a lot of issues (some not necessarily to…[Read more]

hi Terryw,

We made a mistake buying the 2 IPs cause they are both negative gearing and were bought out of emotion. We really want to try to focus on postive cashflow properties.

Hi guys

We live out near collingwood park way and it’s not the bad area that a lot of people perceive it to be. We agree with alfamick, it’s definately changing for the better. It’s only 1/2 hour to Brisbane city and we’ve lived here for over 2 years now and have had no problems.

But everyone has a different perception.

Hey Jo,

The colour co-ordination was PURELY COINCIDENTAL lol. I have no worries about Rita, she’s as enthusiastic as I am about property investing.
